An animated model of a Lumora site through one summer day: a warehouse with 520 kWp of rooftop solar, a 1 MWh battery, four van chargers and the grid connection. By day the roof powers the site, charges the battery and exports the surplus; at night the battery discharges and the grid supplies the rest.

01Solutions
Three systems, designed as one.
Solar makes the power, storage keeps it for when you need it, and charging puts it to work in your fleet. We size all three against the same meter data and the same grid connection.
01 · Commercial solar
Solar
Rooftop, carport and ground-mount arrays, sized to how your site uses power. From a 50 kWp barn roof to a 15 MWp distribution park.

Storage
Batteries that keep your midday surplus, cut peaks and back up critical loads.
03 · EV charging
EV charging
Depot, workplace and visitor charging, managed so your connection copes.
Around every system
One partner from the roof survey to year twenty-five.

Every system watched from Rotterdam
02How it works
From first call to first kilowatt-hour, in four steps.
One team carries your project from the survey to its twenty-fifth year. You always know who to call, and what happens next.
Step 1 of 4
Assessment
An engineer reads a year of your meter data and your roof drawings, then spends a morning on site: the roof, the electrical room and the grid connection.
- 12 months of meter data
- Structure, shading and access
- Grid capacity checked
Step 2 of 4
Design
We lay out the system around rooflights, plant and walkways, model its yield against your load and send a written proposal with every assumption shown.
- Panel layout and strings
- Yield model you can test
- Purchase, lease or PPA priced
Step 3 of 4
Installation
Our own crews build in zones around your operations. Permits, the network operator's approval and the switch-over are ours to manage.
- Built in zones, site stays open
- Permits and grid approval handled
- Switch-over at a quiet time
Step 4 of 4
Monitoring
From the day it starts, every string reports to our operations centre every 15 minutes. If output drops, we see it first and send an engineer.
- 15-minute data, every string
- Alerts handled from Rotterdam
- Monthly report against the model

03Savings estimate
What could your roof save?
Move the slider to your yearly electricity spend. The estimate assumes a warehouse with a large roof and daytime hours; the full version takes your site, your roof and your hours.

Run the full estimate04Sectors
Built for how your kind of site uses power.
A dairy and a distribution centre need different systems. We start from your load, your roof and your fleet, and from 618 sites like yours.
Logistics and warehousing
Big flat roofs, long working days and fleets that are going electric. Warehouses use solar while it is made, and a battery carries it into the night shift.

06In their words
What clients say
The estimate we took to the board in March was within four per cent of what the roof produced in its first year. That made the second site an easy decision.
07Financing
Buy it, lease it, or just buy the power.
The same system can be paid for three ways. We price all three from one design, so you can compare them with real numbers.
Option 01
Purchase
Buy the system and keep every saving.
- Upfront
- Full system cost
- Owner
- You, from day one
- Service
- Optional service plan
- Term
- Payback typically 5 to 8 years
Best for sites with capital to invest and a long view of the building.
Option 02
Lease
A fixed monthly payment, often below the saving.
- Upfront
- None
- Owner
- Us, then you at the end of the term
- Service
- Included
- Term
- 7 to 12 years
Best for businesses that want savings now and to keep capital free.
Option 03No upfront cost
Power purchase agreement
Pay only for the power the system makes.
- Upfront
- None
- Owner
- Us, for the length of the agreement
- Service
- Included
- Term
- 10 to 20 years at a fixed price per kWh
Best for leased buildings, public bodies and sites that want no asset on the books.
08Questions
What finance and facilities teams ask us first.
Something else on your mind? An engineer can answer it during the site assessment.
Request a site assessmentAn engineer reviews a year of your meter data and your roof drawings, then visits the site for two to three hours to check the roof, the electrical room and the grid connection. You receive a written proposal with a system design, a yield model and the financing options that fit.
