Busy installing new solar projects? What about the systems already out there?

For many installers, once a system is live, the focus shifts to the next project. But without ongoing oversight, underperformance can go unnoticed, leading to lost savings, unhappy clients and potential risk to your reputation.

At TEST, we act as your behind-the-scenes, white-label Solar O&M partner, helping you protect performance without adding to your workload.

We support installers with:

🔎 Pre-installation surveys – roof, electrical and energy audits in one visit
📊 Real-time monitoring via our S.M.A.R.T platform, combined with expert oversight
🛠 Retrospective audits – identifying and resolving long-standing system issues

Our proactive approach means fewer headaches, stronger client relationships and systems that continue to deliver long after installation.

Clear, simple reporting keeps your clients informed, without adding admin to your day.

Looking to strengthen your O&M offer?

We’re proud to work in partnership with True Group, combining strengths to help organisations take control of both their energy costs and long-term sustainability strategy.

True supports businesses in securing the right energy procurement strategy, ensuring they get the best value from their energy contracts. But understanding your energy is only the first step.

That’s where TEST comes in.

Using the data and insights already available, we help organisations move beyond procurement and into practical, measurable action, including:

▪️ Energy auditing, reporting and metering
▪️ ISO 50001 implementation and ESOS compliance
▪️ Carbon footprint calculations and decarbonisation planning
▪️ Solar performance and optimisation support

Together, we provide a joined-up approach, from securing energy supply to reducing consumption, cutting carbon and improving long-term performance.

Because real impact doesn’t come from data alone. It comes from what you do with it.

“Understanding your energy is only the beginning. Together with True Group, we’re helping organisations turn energy insight into practical action that reduces cost, carbon and long-term risk.” - Louis Swallow, Head of Commercial Development at TEST.

If you’re looking to move from insight to action, we’d be happy to talk.

We’re proud to have supported Simmtronic in achieving a 65% carbon reduction, exceeding their original Science-Based Target ahead of schedule.

This is a great example of what can be achieved when sustainability targets are backed by practical action, accurate data and long-term commitment.

The results included:

▪️ Transitioning to 100% gas-free operations
▪️ Reducing fleet emissions through hybrid working and transport changes
▪️ Cutting single-use plastics and paper usage significantly
▪️ Strengthening local supply chains to reduce transport emissions

Their carbon intensity also reduced from 11.2 to 3.1 tonnes CO₂e per £1M turnover, showing that sustainability and business growth can go hand in hand.

At TEST, we were pleased to support the journey through structured, evidence-led carbon reduction strategies and guidance.

Congratulations again to the Simmtronic team on a fantastic achievement, and it is an exciting foundation for the next phase of their sustainability journey.

TEST’s Managing Director, John Swallow is pleased to have been invited to host an industry Roundtable at Reset Connect London this June.

As the sustainability agenda accelerates, so too does the need to move beyond intent and actively accelerate progress towards Net Zero. That progress demands a clear, uncompromising focus on outcomes, learning from shared experiences, and leadership from those working at the forefront of energy, solar, carbon and compliance.

At TEST, we’re proud to contribute to that direction of travel, working alongside organisations and industry peers to bring clarity to complex challenges and turn strategy into measurable, real-world outcomes.

This Roundtable session forms part of that wider role, helping to shape the conversation and drive practical, collective progress across the sector.

We’re looking forward to connecting at Reset Connect London. If you’re attending, come and find us at Stand C520.

Strong solar performance doesn’t stop at installation.

We're proud to support solar installation company Sol PV Group Ltd with independent monitoring and O&M services that help ensure their commercial clients’ solar systems continue to perform as expected long after handover.

Using our S.M.A.R.T. monitoring platform, we provide real-time visibility across solar portfolios, helping identify issues early, benchmark expected vs actual performance and maximise system uptime.

💬 As Tony Waite, CEO of SOL PV Group, explains:
“We approached TEST Consulting to develop a monitoring solution that could provide full visibility across solar portfolios. Their software not only created a digital twin of each installation but also integrated weather data to benchmark expected versus actual performance. This insight has been invaluable, allowing issues to be identified early and resolved quickly, and giving clients maximum uptime with confidence their solar assets deliver the returns they should.”

By working together, we’ve helped strengthen long-term client confidence, support compliance reporting and deliver a proactive O&M model that creates value well beyond installation.

This is a great example of how data-led monitoring and ongoing optimisation can turn solar projects into long-term performance assets.

Renewable energy vs clean energy - what’s the difference?

These terms are often used interchangeably, but they’re not quite the same.

Understanding the distinction matters, especially as businesses look to reduce emissions, improve energy strategies and meet sustainability goals.

✔ Renewable energy comes from naturally replenishing sources like solar, wind and hydro.
✔ Clean energy refers to energy that produces little to no emissions, but isn’t always renewable.

Both play a role in the transition to net zero, but knowing how they differ helps organisations make better, more informed decisions about their energy mix.

Take a look at our infographic for a simple breakdown 👇

At TEST, we help organisations maximise the value of renewable technologies like solar, through independent, data-led services, from pre-installation assurance and performance monitoring to ongoing optimisation and maintenance.

Installing solar panels can be one of the most effective ways to reduce energy costs, cut carbon, and support sustainability goals.

But, a successful solar project doesn’t start with installation… it starts with planning.

From assessing site suitability to understanding system requirements, the right preparation is what ensures:

▪️ Maximum performance
▪️ Long-term reliability
▪️ Strong return on investment

Too often, this stage is overlooked, leading to underperforming systems and missed opportunities.

If you’re considering solar, getting the foundations right makes all the difference.

Energy costs are fluctuating. Sustainability expectations are rising.

Businesses are under increasing pressure to take control of their energy use - and prove it with clear, measurable results.

➡️ That’s where ISO 50001 comes in.

As the international standard for energy management systems, it provides a structured, data-led approach to improving energy performance, helping organisations reduce costs, cut carbon, and strengthen their sustainability credentials.

In 2026, it’s quickly becoming a key framework for businesses serious about energy efficiency and Net Zero.

ESG is everywhere right now, but what does it actually mean for your business?

As sustainability moves firmly into the boardroom, organisations are under increasing pressure to clearly demonstrate their impact and accountability.

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) provides the framework to do exactly that - measuring how businesses manage environmental impact, relationships with people, and corporate governance.

ESG is a key driver of investment decisions, regulatory compliance, and long-term business success.

Understanding it is the first step to getting it right.
