Services
From feasibility to fully integrated, generating facades.
We accompany each project across its full life, joining design intent to buildable, connected, and maintainable reality. Whether you are planning a new development or reimagining an existing elevation, our service lines cover the whole journey.
Feasibility & Solar Survey
Every project starts with an honest assessment of what a facade can realistically deliver. We analyse orientation, tilt, shading from neighbouring structures, seasonal sun paths, and the usable area of each elevation, then model expected output against the building's energy profile. This early survey identifies the strongest surfaces, flags constraints before they become expensive, and gives owners a grounded understanding of potential yield, so decisions about scope and budget rest on evidence rather than optimism from the very first stage of the work.
Integrated Facade Design
We translate ambition into a resolved design that coordinates solar modules with the architecture around them. Working alongside your architect or leading the elevation ourselves, we align cell layouts with structural bays, window rhythms, and finish palettes, developing detailed sections that show framing, sealing, ventilation, and cable routing. The outcome is a facade concept that is beautiful and buildable in equal measure, with drawings precise enough for fabrication and clear enough for approval, ensuring the generating surface reads as a deliberate architectural gesture rather than a technical add-on.
Custom Module Fabrication
Standard panels rarely satisfy a considered elevation, so we help specify and source modules tailored to the project. Options include matte and coloured glass, adjusted cell spacing, semi-transparent glazing, and non-standard dimensions that fit the facade grid exactly. We coordinate with manufacturing partners to confirm performance, tolerances, and finish quality, balancing visual goals against output and cost. This bespoke approach means the facade expresses the building's identity while still meeting its energy targets, giving designers the freedom to treat photovoltaics as a genuine material choice rather than a fixed catalogue item.
Structural Integration & Install
Fixing an energy-generating layer to a building demands careful structural thinking, and we manage that detail end to end. We specify substructures, brackets, and fixings rated for wind and weather loads, coordinate with facade contractors, and sequence installation so the envelope remains watertight throughout. Cable paths, junction access, and safe maintenance routes are planned in advance rather than improvised on site. The result is a robust, correctly loaded facade whose solar layer is anchored to last, installed with the same discipline expected of any high-quality building skin exposed to years of demanding conditions.
Grid Connection & Energy Management
Generation only pays off when the electricity is used well, so we plan the electrical side with the same rigour as the physical one. We design inverter arrangements, protection, and metering suited to the building, and coordinate connection so power flows cleanly into on-site consumption or the wider network. Where useful, we integrate storage-ready wiring and smart management that prioritises self-consumption and clear monitoring. This ensures the facade's output is captured efficiently, aligned with demand across the day, and documented in a way that supports compliance, billing, and confident long-term operation of the system.
Monitoring & Maintenance
A generating facade should stay dependable long after handover, so our support continues into operation. We set up performance monitoring that makes output visible and flags any drop early, and we advise on the light, periodic upkeep that vertical arrays require. Because integrated modules are self-cleaning and cool-running, maintenance is modest, but planned access and clear records keep it simple. We remain available to review data, evaluate upgrades, and help owners understand how their facade is performing, turning a one-off installation into a long, well-tended relationship with a working, revenue-supporting surface.
