Purchasing solar solutions in the UK can be a significant investment. At RenewSolar, we offer unique import packages and project management services designed to provide substantial savings for both homeowners and commercial clients.
What Are Import Packages and How Do They Save You Money?
The conventional supply chain for most imported goods in the UK involves multiple intermediaries: an importer, a distribution company, a sales company, and often two or more shipping companies. Each of these entities adds their own markup, typically around 15% on costs, which can quickly inflate the final price of the product which we see in the UK.
RenewSolar operates differently. We are a single entity that handles the entire process, from sourcing directly from our trusted manufacturers to delivery. This streamlined approach eliminates multiple layers of markups and associated costs, allowing us to offer you significant savings on the UK side of your solar project. For example, a 650w solar panel might cost you around £35.00 through our import packages, compared to a typical retail price of £100. This can add up to big savings on larger projects, but is only a smaller example.
Its not uncommon for RenewSolar to come in 60% less than all other UK businesses.
RenewSolar’s Project Management: Your Key to Cost-Effective Solar
Our project management service is a paid offering designed to ensure you get the right solar hardware at the best possible price. By opting for project management, you benefit from cost pricing on hardware rather than retail prices. Our fee covers the expertise of our team in identifying, specifying, and sourcing the optimal components for your project directly from our trusted manufacturers.
The primary benefit of project management is that your hardware is precisely specified by our engineers and shipped directly to your location, often as one or two consolidated packages. This not only saves you significant time but also reduces costs by avoiding the “pick and pack” expenses associated with traditional UK supply chains.
RenewSolar were the first business in the UK to lower costs by 70% for solar installations, meaning that you can have more for less or save on the total cost commitment when you go green. For those on a budget, there is less compromise and planed upgrades to the system to make solar work for your needs.
Standard Services vs. Project Management
Our standard services utilize a blend of UK and imported components to fulfill customer orders. While this approach speeds up delivery, it reintroduces the “many hands” cost structure, meaning non-package imports will generally incur higher retail prices.
We strongly advocate for our project management service for several reasons:
- Technical Expertise: All technical requirements and specifications are managed by our experienced team, minimizing questions and preventing misconfigurations.
- Reduced Timelines and Costs: By centralizing technical oversight and procurement, we shorten project timelines and reduce overall costs. These savings are then reflected in projects that are completed on time and within budget.
- Decades of Experience: Our qualified team of international award-winning staff brings decades of experience to every project. We ensure your solar solution is fit for purpose and all considerations are met.
Think of our project management service as having a dedicated, expert employee working for you, ensuring a set wage which brings significant rewards in terms of efficiency and savings to you.
How Project Management Works: From Concept to Completion
The timeline for a project managed by RenewSolar varies depending on its size and complexity. For most larger commercial projects, defined results are established from the outset. For smaller home owner projects, which sometimes lack initial clarity, our project management service ensures all important segments are addressed, preventing misinformation and ensuring the “product” meets all requirements.
Our typical project management process includes:
- Approval and Preposition: Following your approval (and depending on your preferred level of involvement, or “hand-off”), we review candidate solutions and finalize the system design.
- Preparation: All necessary preparatory work is completed.
- Installation & Testing: Our team installs and thoroughly tests the solar system.
- Handover: The completed system is handed over to you.
On average, a project from start to finish takes 8-12 weeks. This timeline can be extended for projects involving more complex regulatory requirements or “red tape.”
Understanding “Hand-Off”
“Hand-off” refers to your desired level of involvement in the project. You may choose to be involved in every step, receiving regular updates and reports at specific stages. Alternatively, you can opt to hand off the entire project to RenewSolar. This means you simply provide us with your desired outcome and budget, and we take responsibility for effectively bringing your vision to fruition.
