Sustain

Power, equipment and presence, so the system outlasts the grid. Generation, storage, supply and the software your business actually runs on.

04.1

Solar and Power

Sized to your real load, so load shedding stops appearing on the income statement.

A

Site Assessment and Load Calculation

We measure what you actually draw and when, before anybody quotes a panel count. Undersized systems and oversized bills both start here.

B

Residential and Small Business Solar

Complete installations for homes and small premises, from panels and inverter through to the board work and sign off.

C

Commercial and Industrial Solar

Larger arrays scoped around production hours and tariff structure, phased so the capital outlay suits the year.

D

Battery Storage Systems

Storage sized to carry the loads that matter through an outage, rather than everything for ten minutes.

E

Transfer Switches and DB Configuration

Changeover and distribution done properly, so critical circuits stay live and nothing back feeds into the street.

F

Monitoring and Maintenance Contracts

Yield and battery health watched remotely, panels serviced, and a report that shows what the system saved you.

04.2

Hardware Supply

Procurement as part of the appointment, on account, specified before it is bought.

A

Networking Equipment

Cisco, MikroTik, Ubiquiti, Cambium and HPE Aruba, specified against the design rather than against what is discounted.

B

Servers and Storage

Dell servers and storage sized for the workload, with warranty terms that match how critical the box is.

C

Workstations, Laptops and Peripherals

Standardised builds so the tenth machine matches the first, which makes support cheaper for years afterwards.

D

Multifunction Printers and Consumables

Devices and consumables on account, with the fleet supported rather than dropped at reception.

E

Structured Cabling and Passive Infrastructure

Cable, cabinets, patch panels and containment, from the same supply line as the active equipment.

F

UPS and Power Infrastructure

UPS units, batteries and PDUs sized to hold the rack up long enough for the generator or the grid to return.

What stays up

We size storage around the loads that matter, not around the whole building.

LoadHeld through an outageDraw
Network and firewall 180 W
Cameras and recorder 340 W
Servers and storage 620 W
Workstations 1.4 kW

Illustrative figures. Yours come from the load study, measured on site before anything is quoted. Bars show hours held on the specified battery bank.

What you receive at handover

01

A drawing set

A load study, single line diagram, panel and battery schedule, and the certificates for the board work.

02

One point of contact

One number for the array, the batteries, the UPS and the equipment they protect.

03

Monitoring and reporting

Yield, battery health and equipment warranty status reported monthly, with anything ageing flagged early.

The other three pillars are specified the same way.

01

Connect

Connectivity and Network Infrastructure, from the street outside to the desk upstairs.

Open pillar →
02

Protect

Physical Security and Cybersecurity, held to one standard from the gate to the inbox.

Open pillar →
03

Operate

Managed IT, Cloud and Software, and AI and Automation, run quietly on one monthly account.

Open pillar →
Begin

Keep it running whatever the grid does.

A solar assessment, a UPS for the rack, or a standing supply account for the equipment you replace each year.
