If your business or school has solar panels fitted, here's a question worth considering: when did someone last check how much they're actually generating versus what they should be?

Most commercial solar systems are installed and left to run. Which is fine, until it isn't.

We put together a short infographic on the five most common reasons commercial solar underperforms. Worth a look if solar is part of your energy setup.

Any questions, drop us a message.

If you're involved in managing a school or academy trust estate, this one's for you.

Most school buildings have heating, ventilation and lighting systems that run to a fixed schedule regardless of whether it's term time, half term, or the summer holidays.

It's one of the most common things we find during an energy survey. And it's usually one of the most straightforward to fix.

If energy performance is something your trust is looking at, whether for Salix funding or just to get the bills under control drop us a message. Happy to have an initial conversation.

'What actually happens in a building energy survey? I get asked this regularly, so here's the honest answer. If your building's energy performance is something on your radar, drop a comment or DM us.'

Sometimes a job hits a little differently.

A little while back, we completed a new electrical supply installation for The Palladium Club in Bideford. A grassroots music venue right here in North Devon.

Having spent most of my teenage years in bands and playing live music, this one was close to my heart.

Venues like the Palladium are the backbone of the local music scene, the places where bands find their feet and artists find their crowd. The new supply meant they could run their brand new stage setup, amps, mixing desk and speakers, all properly powered, no unwanted noise or hums.

Safe to say, the sound is incredible. It's brilliant to see a local venue get the infrastructure it deserves, and even better knowing it's going to give more local bands and visiting artists the platform they need.

My son's a drummer. He's already a fan. đŸ„

Big love to Ben Nigh and the team at The Palladium Club.

Here's to many more great nights.

A question worth asking: When did someone last look at how your building’s controls are actually set up?

Not just 'Is the heating working?', but are the schedules, setpoints and occupancy settings doing what they should be doing?

For a lot of buildings, the honest answer is: no-one really knows. The BMS was commissioned, handed over, and then left to run. Energy bills arrived each month, and just paid.

We do building energy surveys for commercial premises, schools and offices. It's a practical look at what's happening, what isn't, and what's worth changing. No obligations!

Feel free to get in touch if it sounds relevant to you.

Does any of this sound familiar?
These are five of the most common signs a commercial building is wasting energy and they're more common than you'd think. We see them regularly across offices, schools and business premises.
The good news: most of it is fixable, and usually without replacing any major equipment.

Drop us a message if you'd like to know more about how a building energy survey works.

The only way to really accurately plan a commercial solar + storage installation is using half hourly meter readings and a good 12 months of data.

Just taking headline daily or monthly usage figures doesn’t account for peak loads or any time of use.

We do it properly:

no guess work
no “off the shelf” designs.

Just well modelled solutions designed for your business with room for expansion as your energy needs evolve.

It’s almost 18 months to the day Northwave Engineering started and this pic was taken at the dining room table. 18 months on and we’re still working from various kitchen/dining/cafe tables, but what a journey it has been so far.

Two friends, lots of conversations over many years and then finally, over a pint in the pub and the infamous words “what’s the worst that could happen” - Northwave was born.

There was one mission from the start - “Do things once, Do things right”.

We set out to shake up our industry and we’re doing it - one awesome project at a time. Delivering exceptional quality, On Time, On Budget and we’re not afraid to shout about it.

Summer sun is quickly approaching
 are your solar panels ready?
Many homeowners don’t realise that dust, pollen, bird mess and general grime can cut solar panel performance by up to 30%. Even with regular UK rain, panels don’t stay clean, light build‑up forms a film that blocks sunlight and quietly reduces your energy savings.
With brighter, longer days on the way, now’s the perfect time to make sure your system is running at full power.
We’re launching a specialist residential solar PV cleaning service to help households boost efficiency safely and effectively, no streaks, no DIY risks, just better performance.
