Energy infrastructure by sector

Different facilities fail in different ways. A semiconductor plant cannot tolerate a voltage dip; a warehouse has roof area but modest load; a data centre needs generation, storage, continuity and physical protection specified as one system. These pages set out what each sector actually requires rather than describing solar in general terms.

What each sector is up against

Different buildings fail in different ways. These are the problems we are usually called in to solve.

Mission-critical

Data centres

Continuous load, no tolerance for interruption, and four separate systems — generation, storage, uninterruptible supply and access control — that all have to work together. Procure them separately and the integration risk lands on you.

Data centre infrastructure

High continuous load

Manufacturing & factories

Rising tariffs against thin margins, roofs that were never designed to carry an array, and a production line that cannot be stopped for installation.

Large roof spans

Warehouse & logistics

Acres of roof and comparatively little on-site load, so much of what you generate has to be exported — at a price you do not set. Sizing to consumption matters more here than anywhere.

Shared services

Commercial buildings

Roofs already crowded with existing plant, energy costs split between landlord and tenant, and sustainability claims that increasingly have to be evidenced rather than asserted.

Zero interruption

Healthcare & medical

Diagnostic and life-safety equipment that cannot tolerate even a momentary dip, inside buildings that cannot be taken offline while you upgrade the supply.
