Energy cost savings and ROI

Many public sector buildings consume large amounts of energy, integrating solar into your operations reduces reliance on the grid and will reduce energy costs.

Reduce your carbon footprint

The public sector is under increasing pressure to reduce carbon, installing solar panels will deliver a renewable energy solution that drastically reduces CO₂.

Enhanced overall energy security

Investing in solar panels in the public sector will ensure a steady energy supply, reducing the risk of power outages and enhancing overall energy resilience.

Public Sector Solar: Meeting Decarbonisation Targets Without Straining Budgets

The public sector decarbonisation landscape in the UK has matured significantly. The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), managed by Salix Finance on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, has provided hundreds of millions in grant funding for solar and energy efficiency projects across local authorities, NHS trusts, blue light services, and arm’s length bodies.

EvoEnergy has extensive experience navigating these procurement frameworks and can support public sector clients through the entire process, from OJEU-compliant procurement to handover and ongoing monitoring.

PUBLIC SECTOR SOLAR BENEFITS

Why install solar and smart energy solutions?

Installing solar panels, smart grids and commercial batteries delivers significant benefits, from reducing energy costs to meeting your sustainability targets. Whether you’re planning a new building or managing an existing facilities, integrating commercial solar and smart energy solutions enables you to access a wide range of benefits.

Smart energy solutions for the public sector

Public sector facilities consume large amounts of energy, integrating solar, smart grids and commercial batteries into your infrastructure will reduce reliance on the grid and reduce costs significantly.

Procurement & Compliance

Challenges Specific to Public Sector Solar Projects

Deploying solar energy for public sector buildings involves considerations that differ materially from private sector installations. EvoEnergy’s public sector team is experienced in all of them:

Procurement compliance

Public contracts exceeding the threshold values must comply with the Procurement Act 2023 (formerly PCR 2015). EvoEnergy is available on multiple public sector procurement frameworks, simplifying compliant supplier engagement for local authorities and NHS bodies.

Listed and heritage buildings

Many public sector buildings have listed status or sit within conservation areas. EvoEnergy designs systems that comply with heritage planning requirements and has experience securing consent for installations on protected buildings.

Operational continuity

Public facilities, particularly hospitals, leisure centres, and emergency services buildings, cannot afford disruption. EvoEnergy project plans every installation to maintain full operational continuity, including off-hours working where required.

Multi-site estates

Local authorities and NHS trusts often manage large, diverse property portfolios. EvoEnergy designs estate-level solar strategies that prioritise the highest-value sites for early deployment and create a scalable rollout roadmap.

CLIENT REVIEW

“Their new solar farm, built with millions of pounds of investment, will produce almost a quarter of the electricity the airport needs over the coming years. It’s this sort of innovation and drive that will help the UK become a Clean Energy Superpower, and we will continue to support industry to achieve that goal.”
