Got a consented site that isn't moving?
We buy consented solar, battery and wind sites, partner on them, or fix the one thing holding yours back. Tell us about it and we'll give you an honest answer.
Sell it, share it, or fix it.
A consented site that sits still loses value, because the consent has a clock on it and the grid queue does not wait. These are the three routes out, and we are happy with any of them.
We buy it
A clean exit. We take the site on at an agreed price and run the rest ourselves, so you are out and paid rather than holding an asset that is not moving.
We partner on it
You keep a share. We fund and run the remaining development, and we agree up front how the upside is split at ready-to-build or on exit.
We fix it, you keep it
Paid work on the specific thing that is stuck: the grid position, the land agreement, a battery application or the paperwork. You stay the owner throughout.
It is normally one thing.
You rarely need to improve a site across the board. You need to find the one thing a buyer prices you down for, and deal with it.
A bad grid date
The most common reason by a distance. We look at whether the date can be improved, what it would cost and whether a different connection route exists.
A consent running out of time
Permissions have to be begun within a set period, usually three years, and pre-commencement conditions take time to discharge. We check where yours actually stands.
No battery on the site
Around four in five consented, unbuilt solar sites have no battery alongside them. Adding one shares the existing grid connection and is often the largest value move available.
Land rights that do not work
A lease too short for the project life, missing access or cable rights, or unclear title. Buyers price all three down hard, or walk.
A messy paperwork pack
Expired surveys, conditions not discharged, documents across five inboxes. This is the cheapest problem to fix and one of the most expensive to leave.
No route to a buyer
Projects are not advertised. If you do not already know the funds and independent power producers who buy, your site is invisible to them.
Four steps, no obligation.
Tell us about the site
Capacity, location, consent date and the grid position. Five minutes on the form below.
We give you a straight answer
What the site needs, what we think it is worth now, and which of the three routes fits. Free, and no obligation.
Agree the route
Sale, partnership or paid work. Terms in writing before anything starts.
We get on with it
Grid, planning, battery application or build, with partners. One point of contact throughout.
An honest answer, free.
The more you can tell us, the more useful our answer. If you do not know something, leave it blank.

Questions about consented sites
My consent is nearly expired. Is it worthless?
Not necessarily, but time matters. Check the start-by date on your decision notice and whether any pre-commencement conditions are outstanding. Even a lapsed consent has value, because the site has been proven once in principle. Talk to us before it runs out, not after.
Will you tell me what my site is worth?
We will give you an honest view based on the stage, the capacity and the grid position. We will not give you a per-MW figure borrowed from someone else’s deal, because stages and subsidy eras are not comparable. Our guide on what UK solar farms have sold for explains why.
What if the answer is that my site does not work?
Then we say so and you have lost nothing but the form. We would rather tell you early than take a fee for work that will not get the site built.
Do you only look at solar?
No. Consented battery sites and onshore wind sites too, and sites where the opportunity is adding one technology to a consent for another.
Is there a minimum size?
We work on sites from around 1MW upwards. Below that the fixed costs of grid and planning work rarely leave enough on the table to be worth either side’s time.
I am a landowner, not a developer. Does this apply to me?
If you hold the consent, yes. If you have land but no consent yet, start with our free land check instead.
Not sure which route suits you?
Send the details and we'll tell you what we'd do with it. If the answer is that it doesn't work, we'll say that too.
