But when it comes to getting started, it usually hits the same wall: the cost.
Panels, installation, maintenance, it adds up. Even if the numbers make sense long term, the upfront spend rules it out for a lot of organisations. It’s frustrating. You know your roof could be doing more. But it’s hard to move it up the list when there’s a budget gap and a pile of unanswered questions.
Solar for All was created for exactly that kind of situation.
Not for businesses with capital to spare but for the ones who want to take action without a big financial leap.
It’s a fully funded solar solution designed to make solar a real option for more businesses.
You don’t pay for the system to be installed. You don’t pay for maintenance. You just pay for the energy it generates, at a fixed rate. Usually, that rate’s lower than what you’re paying now, but the point is, you’re only paying for what your building actually uses.
The system is owned and maintained by HDM Energies, a long-standing commercial renewables provider with experience across a wide range of sectors. If at any point you decide you’d prefer to own the system outright, that’s an option too.
It’s simple on purpose. No hidden fees. No standing charges. Just a working system and a clear agreement.
You’re not being handed a rigid contract or pushed into a package.
This model is designed to flex with you. You can include extras like battery storage or EV charging infrastructure if that’s something your site needs. If you move premises, the agreement can be transferred or the system relocated. If you want to leave early, there’s a fair-value buyout option.
It’s not about squeezing you into the same shape as everyone else. It’s about making solar accessible in a way that fits around your business, not the other way round.
Any business with a roof over 1,800 square feet could be a candidate for Solar for All.
If your building has the space and you use a reasonable amount of energy, this could be worth exploring. It’s designed for businesses of all types that want to reduce their reliance on the grid without tying up capital.
You can measure it in a few minutes using Google Maps. Here’s how:
Because too many businesses have ruled out solar, not because it wouldn’t work for them, but because no one’s made it simple or affordable enough to try.
This changes that. It’s an option that removes the upfront cost, reduces the admin, and gives you more control over your energy without overcomplicating things.
