Solar PV and battery feasibility
Assess site electricity profiles, solar resource, usable roof or land area, self-consumption, export limits, storage operation and financial performance.
Impact Zero | Engineering, Energy & Sustainability
Renewable Energy & Electrification
Plan renewable energy and electrification projects around real site loads, technical constraints and commercial outcomes. Impact Zero assesses technology selection, integration, controls and the interaction between energy efficiency and low-carbon supply.

Heat pumps and thermal electrification
Evaluate air-source and other heat pump solutions for space heating, domestic hot water, process heat and cooling, including temperature requirements and seasonal efficiency.
Process heat and heat recovery
Examine existing boilers, thermal loads, waste heat opportunities, thermal storage and staged replacement of fossil-fuelled equipment.
Integrated energy systems
Consider how solar PV, batteries, thermal storage, HVAC, controls and operational schedules interact at site level.
Electrical and network implications
Review peak electrical demand, supply capacity, power quality considerations, network connection requirements and tariff implications at feasibility level.
Business cases and delivery support
Compare technical options, capital costs, energy costs, emissions and project risks; support specifications, procurement and performance verification.

Frequently asked questions
Is a heat pump always cheaper than a gas boiler?
Not necessarily. Economics depend on operating temperatures, heat pump efficiency, electricity and gas tariffs, demand charges, load profile and capital costs.
Should solar PV and batteries be evaluated together?
They can be assessed together, but storage value depends on demand timing, tariff structure, export rules and intended operating strategy.
Can electrification increase peak demand?
Yes. Electrical capacity and network demand charges should be considered during feasibility assessment.

Practical engineering questions
When is a heat pump suitable for an industrial process?
Suitability depends on required supply temperature, available heat source, duty profile, seasonal system performance, electrical capacity and integration constraints. A site-specific feasibility assessment compares these against existing equipment and alternatives.
How do demand charges affect electrification economics?
The assessment should include additional coincident kW/kVA demand, tariff windows and any electrical connection upgrades, rather than comparing energy-only prices.
