Questions solar installers ask about FormationData
What installers, renewable energy contractors and business development teams usually want to know before they start finding solar opportunities with FormationData.
What can solar installers find with FormationData?
FormationData brings property, company, planning and contract records into one search, so you can find the situations that make a solar installation likely.
That covers portfolio landlords, lower-rated properties, EPCs that recommend solar panels, developers with funds available, and open or awarded renewable energy contracts.
Can I find portfolio landlords in a particular area?
Yes. Property ownership records let you search by postcode, town or local authority and see which companies own property there, along with how large their portfolio is.
That makes it straightforward to prioritise landlords with several properties in the area you cover.
Can I filter for properties below EPC C?
Yes. You can filter properties by their current energy rating, so you can focus on D, E, F and G rated stock where energy improvements are most likely to be needed.
You can combine that with location, property type, floor area and tenure to narrow the list further.
Can I find EPCs that recommend solar panels?
Yes. EPC assessments include recommended improvements, and you can search specifically for certificates that recommend solar photovoltaic panels.
These are strong prospects because an assessor has already identified solar as a suitable improvement for the property.
Can I see whether a landlord has cash in the bank?
Where the landlord is a company that files accounts, yes. You can review cash at bank, net assets and other financial measures from the public register.
Smaller companies file limited information, and figures are as at the last accounts filed rather than today, so treat them as a guide to prioritisation rather than a live balance.
Can I search for two-storey extension applications?
Yes. Planning records can be searched by location, date and application detail, which lets you find two-storey extensions and similar works.
Scaffold is often already in place for that kind of project, which can reduce the cost of adding a solar installation while the access is up.
Can I find newly launched developers?
Yes. You can search newly incorporated UK companies by industry and location, including property development and construction.
Approaching a new developer early means reaching them before they have appointed a solar installation partner.
Can I search open and awarded solar contracts?
Yes. FormationContracts covers solar and renewable energy opportunities published by UK public bodies, both open notices and awarded contracts.
Award records also show the main contractor, which is useful when you are looking for installation partnerships rather than bidding directly.
Are contact details always available?
No. Contact details are shown where they are held or can be found from public sources, so coverage varies from one company or landlord to another.
Where a phone number, email address or website is not available, you can still use the registered office address and company details for outreach.
