- Required
01.
Roof solar
Turn your unused roof space into a money saving asset and reduce your energy bills without any upfront investment.
02.
Ground solar
If you have more outdoor space than structural assets, ground mounted solar can help you reduce your bills.
03.
Carports
Solar carports provide valuable parking lot shade while generating clean energy and reducing your energy bills.
04.
EV charging
We work with landlords to install and operate fully funded EV charging solutions that don’t require CapEx or OpEx.
05.
Batteries
Batteries can be installed as standalone units, or as part of a solar installation, to reduce your energy bills.
Why go solar?
Solar photovoltaics, which generate electricity from sunlight, provide one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint and your energy bills.
Reduce your energy bills — significantly
Solar reduces the electricity you buy from the grid, often by a substantial amount. Your savings depend on your consumption, your system size and your current energy tariff but the economics are straightforward and we’ll model them accurately for your building before you commit to anything.
Strengthen your CSR and ESG credentials
Sustainability credentials matter to customers, employees and investors. A commercial solar installation is a visible, auditable commitment not a theoretical target. It’s the kind of action that demonstrates genuine intent rather than ambition.
Fix your energy costs for decades
Energy prices are unpredictable. A solar installation locks in a known cost for the electricity it generates, giving you visibility over a major operational expense for 25 to 30 years. That’s a material benefit for any business managing its cost base.
Strong return on investment
A solar installation typically pays for itself within a number of years and then continues generating for 25 to 30 years beyond that. The return is real and measurable. We’ll show you the numbers for your specific project, not a generic illustration.
Reduce your carbon footprint
Generating electricity from solar instead of fossil fuels directly reduces your carbon emissions. It’s one of the most measurable and verifiable steps a business can take on its decarbonisation journey, and the impact is real from day one.
Prepare for what’s coming
UK electricity consumption is expected to increase significantly as businesses electrify more of their operations. Having your own generation capacity is a strategic advantage and those who invest now will be better positioned than those who wait.
Why choose us?
Footprint Zero is a trusted solar consultant and developer. We have been working in the industry for decades and have significant experience with all types of solar installations.
500MW+ of installation experience
The Footprint Zero team has been involved in over 500MW of commercial solar installations across the UK rooftop, ground mount, carports, battery storage and EV charging. That experience shapes how we approach every project: carefully, honestly and with a clear focus on what’s right for your business.
We think like developers, not installers
Our team brings a developer’s mindset to every project. That means assessing each site properly, modelling the economics accurately and recommending solutions because they fit not because they’re the easiest thing to sell. Our founders spent their careers developing large-scale commercial solar before setting up Footprint Zero, and that background informs everything we do.
Self-funded or fully funded — we cover both
We work with businesses that want to own their solar installation outright and those that want the benefits of solar with no upfront capital. Our fully funded options include co-ownership and Power Purchase Agreements, tailored to your business rather than a standard model.
Plain English, start to finish
Solar shouldn’t need a translator. We explain the economics, the technology and the trade-offs clearly, because a client who understands what they’re buying makes a better long-term partner. Ask us the questions you’re not sure about. We’ve heard them before and we’re glad to explain.

Their team adeptly guided us through the entire process, from initial consultation to final implementation, demonstrating a profound understanding of our needs and the intricacies of renewable energy solutions.
I highly recommend Footprint Zero for anyone looking to embark on solar energy projects. Their ability to deliver on promises, coupled with their extensive knowledge and customer-centric approach, makes them a valuable partner in the transition towards sustainable energy solutions.”
