Our services
Photovoltaics
Re/volve Energy provides specialist services to support our customers through the lifecycle of PV asset development & ownership, from project conception & feasibility to operation. We ensure that our clients realise the full financial and environmental benefits of their investments.
We have a significant track record of managing and delivering PV projects with over 15 years of in market experience. Our team has excellent market knowledge that can help to shortcut finding the right contractor and solution.
Energy Strategy Development
We work as a strategic energy advisor, assisting our clients to conceive and deliver new projects to reduce carbon emissions and operational expenses.
With early stage consideration of energy systems communities are able to leverage off scale to achieve better economic outcomes. We can assist community development clients with identifying systems solutions and understanding the economic outcomes in order to inform decision making.
At building scale there are also opportunities available to achieve net zero or low energy operations. We work collaboratively with project teams to understand energy flows and develop strategies for synergies and savings.
Key energy strategy areas:
-
Strategic advice on how to best supply energy to a community/building/development.
Advice on electricity network structures, e.g. traditional single ICPs, embedded network, customer network to facilitate new approaches to energy.
Determining the most appropriate sources of energy.
Assessing the feasibility of solutions.
-
Development of energy strategies to achieve zero energy
Energy use profiling - how much (and when) energy will your building/community use
Balancing efficiency, cost and generation sources (utilising the synergies between technologies to maximise ROI and minimise whole of life cost)
Technology strategy - what technologies to achieve zero energy
