Step 01
The problem
The surgery's existing solar, fitted by a previous installer, had given non-stop issues. There was no monitoring, no early warning when something failed and no support from the original installer.

The Problem
UK energy bills aren't going back down. Energy independence isn't optional.
Average UK commercial electricity unit rates rose 122% between 2021 and 2025. UK domestic rates doubled. SECR / SBTi / MEES regulations are tightening. Your competitors are building their own power stations. The question isn't whether to act — it's how to act with the least capital and the highest ROI.
Founder Authority
Built by people who left the high-volume installer world
KMM's founders both spent years inside the UK's largest high-volume solar installer before leaving to build a consultancy-led alternative. They also train the wider UK industry through Solar Sales Accelerator.

The KMM Process
From first call to successful power station installation.
A KMM project does not need 14 stages with names dressed up in capital letters. It needs a fair survey, a fair number and a clean install.
1
Assess
Drone roof capture, MPAN bill audit, structural check and shading analysis. We bring data, not guesses, to your survey.
2
Advise
Side-by-side options with full payback maths, finance routes, grant eligibility and a clear ROI position. No hard sell.
3
Deliver
Design, planning, DNO, install and commissioning — handled end-to-end by one named project manager.
What Makes Us Different
The four things that actually separate us
There are around 5,000 solar companies in the UK. Most of them are small, well-meaning and badly run, and a handful are large, badly-meaning and well run. KMM Energy Solutions sits in the gap: senior installers from inside the largest UK player, set up independently with a deliberately small business model.
1. Surveyor-led, not sales-led
Every quote is produced by an engineering surveyor — the same person who walks your roof, models the generation and sits on the call to defend the numbers. No call-centre cold caller in the loop, no "manager approval", no quote-velocity targets. More about how we work.
2. Real payback maths
Our quotes ship with a published ROI model, not a one-liner. You see the assumed kWh generation, the assumed self-consumption percentage, the Smart Export Guarantee tariff, the inflation curve, the maintenance allowance and the year-by-year cumulative cash position. See typical solar costs.
3. One named project manager
Every KMM customer gets a single named PM from quote to handover. No call-centre hand-offs. No "I'll have to check with the office".
4. Honest finance
We model all routes side-by-side on your real HH data. You choose. No high-pressure sales. See finance options.
Trusted Partnerships
Who we work with
Tier-1 hardware partners, finance and PPA funders, regional grant bodies and the Woodland Trust — every installation plants a tree.
In partnership with
Woodland Trust
Advanced Technology
The technology stack behind every install
We have spent 8 years refining the engineering decisions that make a solar system pay back fast. Here is what goes into every KMM project.
CAA Drone Capture
3D model of your roof to 3cm vertical accuracy inside 48 hours — no ladders, no scaffold for the survey.
HH-Data Modelling
12 months of half-hourly consumption overlaid on PVGIS-modelled generation for your specific roof orientation.
Tier-1 Hardware
JA Solar, Aiko, Hanchu, Perlight, REC and Solax panels. Sungrow, GivEnergy inverters. LFP batteries only — no NMC home batteries.
G99 / G100 Submission
Full DNO application handled by KMM as part of every commercial project — including G100 export-limited designs.
Payment Options
Three honest finance routes
We model all routes side-by-side on your real HH data. You choose. No high-pressure sales.
CAPEX + AIA
Buy outright. Best lifetime return for CT-paying limited companies. 25% effective capex reduction in year 1 via the £1m Annual Investment Allowance (AIA).
How it works →
Asset Finance / Lease
5-10 year fixed monthly. Net-positive cashflow from year 1 on most commercial systems. Tax-deductible payments.
How it works →
Power Purchase Agreement
Zero upfront. Third-party owns the system. You pay only for the kWh you consume at a tariff well below grid. 20-25 year term.
How it works →

A Day With Solar
How Your Energy Day Changes
From "powered by the grid all day" to "powered by your roof from dawn till bedtime" — here is what a typical day looks like once your system is live.
06:00
Battery powers breakfast
Overnight stored solar runs your kettle, toaster and morning lights — zero grid import.
11:00
Peak solar generation
Panels generating at full output. Excess feeds the battery and dishwasher / washing machine.
16:00
Self-consumption peak
School run, kettle on, oven preheats — solar covers most of it directly without grid backup.
21:00
Evening on stored solar
Dinner, TV, lights — all powered from the battery you charged during the day.
Featured case study · Lincolnshire
100kW Solar Rescue for a GP Surgery
Scroll through five stages of a real KMM commercial project at The Deepings Practice in Market Deeping — from a failing legacy system to 100kW of optimised solar with battery backup.
Market Deeping · GP surgery
Step 02
The board meeting
Rather than arriving with a pre-baked quote, KMM presented to the surgery's full board of directors. Two requirements came out of that session: backup power for key parts of the surgery, and panel-level optimisation.
Step 03
The design
100kW of solar across six separate roof planes, paired with a 100kW battery. A Tigo optimiser on every panel manages the shading that moves across the roofs during the day.
Step 04
The install
The new strings were kept fully independent of the legacy system, so faults cannot cross between them. Bird netting went on every panel as standard, and the battery ring-fences critical circuits so the building keeps running through a grid outage.
Step 05
The aftercare
The surgery's biggest past problem was an installer who went quiet. The directors now have a direct line to KMM for any question about the system.

Service Areas
Where We Install
Head office in Newark-on-Trent, surveys and installations across the UK, South Yorkshire, West Midlands and the southern Lincolnshire fens.
FAQ
Common questions, answered
What does a typical KMM Energy Solutions install cover?
A full turnkey project covers the site survey (often by drone), system design and ROI modelling, planning and DNO applications, panel and inverter procurement, installation by our approved engineers, commissioning to G99 and MCS standards, and post-install monitoring. One named project manager handles the job from first enquiry to handover.
Where in the UK does KMM operate?
KMM is a nationwide energy consultancy. Our registered head office is at Office 1, Edgefield House, North Muskham, Newark NG23 6ES, with a secondary office at Lime Kiln Farm, Gloucester. We have surveyor coverage from Newark, Cannock, Swindon, Gloucester and Newquay, and a large UK network of trusted installer partners — including hubs in Runcorn, Sheffield, Swansea and Plymouth — covering every sector and every region. We support clients across the United Kingdom with the same bespoke design and ROI-led approach.
How long does a commercial solar install take?
Most commercial roof projects between 50kWp and 250kWp are designed and installed inside 12 weeks from contract signature, with the on-roof phase typically running 2 to 4 weeks. Ground-mount and projects requiring G99 grid offers can extend to 6–9 months end-to-end because of DNO timelines.
Do you handle the grid connection paperwork?
Yes. KMM submits G98, G99 and G100 export-limitation applications on your behalf, manages the back-and-forth with your local DNO — NGED (formerly Western Power Distribution), UK Power Networks, SP Energy Networks, SSEN or Northern Powergrid — and negotiates the grid offer where capacity is the bottleneck. For complex reinforcement scenarios, KMM partners with Crown Utilities on Grid Upgrade Support.
What payback periods are realistic in 2026?
Commercial solar PV typically pays back in 2–5 years on the right site with the right design — driven by ownership, self-consumption ratio, tariff context and Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) tax relief on capital expenditure. Domestic systems with batteries typically pay back in 5–10 years on current SEG tariffs and the right tariff strategy. Every KMM project is ROI-modelled against the customer's actual data — we don't quote generic payback figures.
What finance routes does KMM support?
KMM supports capex purchase (typically the strongest ROI for UK businesses with AIA tax relief), Barclays green cashback, Nationwide green loans, 0% domestic lending, and asset finance over 1–15 year terms. We model the funding options side-by-side and recommend the route that maximises your return — KMM doesn't promote PPA or third-party-ownership models because they sacrifice asset value and energy independence.
Are you MCS certified?
KMM partners with MCS-certified installation engineers for every domestic project, ensuring you stay eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee and any grant scheme that requires MCS evidence. Commercial G99 projects above 50kW do not require MCS but follow the same engineering standards.
Why drone surveys?
Drone capture replaces ladder and scaffolding access on the survey phase. We get accurate roof measurements, identify shading from chimneys or neighbouring buildings, and produce a 3D plot of the site without a single person on the roof. It is safer, cheaper and faster than a traditional pitched-roof survey.
Do you plant trees with the Woodland Trust?
Yes — KMM plants a tree with the Woodland Trust for every solar installation we complete. It is a small but durable offset of the embodied carbon in the panels and ties our business to the long-term ecological benefit of going solar.
What payment and finance options are available?
KMM models the funding options that maximise customer ROI and asset ownership. Standard routes: capex purchase (typically the strongest TCO when combined with Annual Investment Allowance tax relief), asset finance over 1–15 year terms, Barclays green cashback, Nationwide green loans, and 0% domestic lending where available. KMM does not promote PPA or third-party-ownership routes — they sacrifice asset value and long-term energy independence.
Can I have batteries fitted later if I cannot afford them now?
Yes — every domestic and commercial system KMM installs is designed to be battery-ready. We size the inverter, leave the cabling and isolators in place, and you can bolt batteries on later without re-doing the electrical work.
