  • Two technologies on one site, such as solar with a battery: add £450 ex VAT.
  • Bigger than the sizes shown? Ask us for a price.
  • Specialist surveys are not included. The study tells you which ones you need.
What you get

Six things every report covers.

  • Grid capacity check

    The nearest substations, how much spare capacity they have, and a rough connection cost and date.

  • Constraints

    Protected landscapes, flood risk, heritage, ecology, footpaths and access.

  • Planning

    Local policy and recent decisions on similar schemes nearby, read by our in-house Chartered Town Planner (MRTPI).

  • Site design

    An outline layout drawn on an aerial photo, showing how many MW fit. For solar, the yearly generation too.

  • Route to ready-to-build

    The specialist surveys the site needs, with a rough budget and timeline to ready-to-build.

  • Go or no-go

    A clear answer, the main risks, and the next steps if it is a go.

How it works

From site to answer.

  1. Tell us the site

    Send a location or a drawn boundary, and the technology and size you have in mind.

  2. Fixed price

    We confirm the price from the table below. Nothing changes after you say yes.

  3. Desktop study

    We check grid, constraints and planning, and draw an outline site design. No site visit needed.

  4. Your report

    A written report with the layout, a clear go or no-go, and a call to talk it through.

FAQ

Questions about feasibility studies

How much does a feasibility study cost?

Our desktop studies are fixed price, from £650 ex VAT for a small solar site. The price depends on the technology and the size of the scheme. The full table is on this page.

What is a desktop feasibility study?

A study done from maps, data and planning records, without a site visit. It checks grid capacity, constraints and planning, and includes an outline site design, before you spend money on surveys.

Why does wind cost more than solar?

Wind needs more checks: wind speed at hub height, distance to homes for noise and shadow flicker, and airport and radar safeguarding.

Can you look at solar and a battery on the same site?

Yes. Add a second technology on the same site for £450 ex VAT. They can often share one grid connection.

Do I still need surveys after the study?

Yes, if the site is a go. A planning application needs specialist surveys such as landscape, ecology and heritage. The study tells you which ones and roughly what they cost.

Is there a free option?

Landowners can get a free land check first. It is a quick first look. The feasibility study goes deeper and gives you a written report.
