How renewable energy installers use SiteLens
Arrays, storage and ground-mount
Larger arrays, ground-mount sites, battery storage and some heat-pump and EV installs need planning. Each one reaches your morning digest.
Filter to your technology
Set keyword alerts on solar, heat pump, battery or EV charging for your region.
Catch new-build and commercial retrofit
New residential and commercial schemes often specify renewables to meet policy. Track them while the energy strategy is still open.
Free to start. Pro is £39/mo, or £29/mo billed annually.
Free covers search, application views and one daily alert, with each firm shown by its Companies House number. Pro adds the firm names, the project team on major schemes, published contact details and competitor watch. Team shares one pipeline across up to 5 users.
Frequently asked
Do solar panels and heat pumps need planning permission?
Many domestic installs are permitted development and never reach the register. Larger arrays, ground-mount solar, battery storage and installs on listed buildings or in conservation areas often do, and SiteLens picks those up.
Can I use EPC ratings to find retrofit work?
Yes. EPC ratings are on every plan, and the retrofit gap filter picks out residential applications whose own certificate sits well below its potential rating, a strong lead for retrofit work.
Can I find battery storage and solar farm schemes?
Yes. Keyword alerts on battery, energy storage, solar farm or EV charging catch them, and you can filter by constraint flags and estimated value band.
