"Green Economy can help with vetting any potential suppliers out there or make direct introductions if you’re unsure where to start.”
"Working with Green Economy on our solar project meant that we had a clear idea on what needs to be done and why.
"Being introduced to the experts directly and in-person sped up the process, and provided assurance that we were doing the right thing."
"Green Economy helped us progress our solar project.
"They clarified what the project should cost, buyback periods and funding pathways, and then introduced us to three suppliers, mediating the conversation to give us confidence we were working with the best partner."
“Green Economy’s support was impartial and pragmatic, and their knowledge gave me confidence that I was asking the right questions of potential suppliers.

Once you have selected a supplier, we receive a percentage of the contract value as a 'finder's fee'. This is a flat rate with all our suppliers and does not form part of our selection process.
We work with a range of solar businesses with expertise in delivering commercial, domestic and public sector projects. Suppliers have diverse experience and specialisms, so we're able to tailor the shortlist to meet your specific needs.
Our consultants are qualified experts, providing trusted, data-led, impartial advice, independent from technology and solution providers to ensure we recommend tailored solutions that align with your organisation’s vision.
