Solar for Landlords

Stay ahead of EPC regulations. Reduce your landlord energy costs.

See what solar and battery storage could do for the performance of your rental property or portfolio.

Energy costs, changing EPC requirements and the pressure to protect property values are all creating new challenges for landlords.

A tailored solar and battery solution could help you reduce electricity costs, improve your property’s energy performance and strengthen the long-term value of your investment.

Book a free landlord solar assessment and we’ll show you the potential return for your property or portfolio.

What could solar be worth to your property?

Every property is different, but our landlord modelling shows the potential for solar and battery storage to deliver significant financial benefits.

£800–£2,000 potential annual saving per property
1–5 years illustrated ROI on selected landlord projects
£20,000+ illustrated property value uplift in our HMO example

The numbers are what make the opportunity tangible. The survey tells you what they could look like for your property.

A real-world example: 5-bed HMO

6.5kWp solar PV + 20kWh battery storage | Birmingham commuter town

For a five-bedroom HMO, our modelling showed how solar and battery storage could combine energy savings with improvements to the property’s energy performance.

£1,884 Annual projected savings
1–5 years Illustrated ROI
D → B EPC improvement
£20,000 Illustrated property value uplift
22.7 tonnes Estimated CO₂e avoided over 25 years

And that’s before considering the potential benefit of making the property more attractive to tenants.

Don’t wait for EPC requirements to become a problem

The energy-efficiency requirements for private rented properties are changing, making energy performance an increasingly important consideration for landlords.

The government has confirmed a future requirement for private rented homes to reach EPC C or equivalent by 1 October 2030, subject to exemptions.

Solar PV can contribute towards improving a property’s energy performance, while combining solar with battery storage can provide additional benefits depending on the property and assessment methodology.

The earlier you understand which of your properties need investment, the more time you have to plan.

What happens when you look at the whole portfolio?

If you own multiple rental properties, the opportunity can extend well beyond a single roof.

We can assess your portfolio to identify where solar PV, battery storage and EV charging could provide the greatest potential benefit.

For larger properties, commercial premises or multi-site portfolios, our commercial team can design solutions around your energy requirements, available roof space and long-term objectives.

Portfolio example

10 rental properties. One joined-up strategy.

10 × 2–4 bedroom properties
Birmingham commuter town

Solar PV + 15–20kWh battery storage + EV charging

Your portfolio doesn’t need a one-size-fits-all solar package.
It needs a strategy based on the individual properties within it.

Reduce your property’s energy costs

Generate renewable electricity on-site and use more of it within your property, helping to reduce your reliance on electricity from the grid.

Group 1336

Support future EPC requirements

Solar PV can contribute towards improving your property’s energy performance, helping you prepare for future EPC requirements.

Solar for landlords: your questions answered

Solar PV can contribute towards improving energy performance, but the impact varies by property. A property-specific assessment is required.

The supplied landlord modelling indicates potential savings of £800–£2,000 per property per year, although actual savings depend on the property, energy consumption, system and how electricity is used.

Yes. HMOs can be particularly relevant where landlords are responsible for electricity costs and the property has significant electricity demand.

Yes. We can assess individual rental properties or look at your portfolio as a whole.

Yes. Battery storage can be designed alongside solar to help increase the amount of generated electricity that can be used by the property.

No. The purpose of the assessment is to help you understand the potential opportunity before deciding whether to proceed.
