Our 10-Step Solar & Battery Engagement Process
Typical delivery timeline: 6–9 months
Step 1 – Expression of Interest
You register interest in a solar PV and battery solution with AI Edge, allowing us to assess suitability and begin preliminary analysis.
Step 2 – Energy Data & Cost Baseline
We collect half-hourly electricity consumption data for the previous 12 months and a recent utility bill to establish a clear usage and cost baseline.
Step 3 – Desktop Design & Engineering
Our appointed solar designers and battery engineers prepare an initial system design based on your data and site characteristics.
Step 4 – Initial Proposal & Savings Review
We present a clear proposal outlining system capacity, expected generation, battery performance, and forecast savings.
Step 5 – Letter of Intent & Funding Alignment
If you wish to proceed, a non-binding Letter of Intent is signed, allowing us to invest in detailed engineering and, where required, align funding.
Step 6 – Site & Grid Surveys
We carry out roof condition and structural surveys and secure a District Network Operator (DNO) connection offer to confirm export capacity.
Step 7 – Final Proposal Approval
A fully engineered proposal is presented for approval. If you choose to proceed, formal documentation is completed. At this stage, withdrawal may result in recovery of incurred professional and statutory costs.
Step 8 – Procurement & Programme Planning
Equipment is ordered, grid conditions finalised, and installation logistics agreed.
Step 9 – Contract Signature
The contract is signed, confirming scope, programme, and responsibilities.
Step 10 – Installation & Commissioning
The system is installed, commissioned, and brought live, delivering lower energy costs, improved resilience, and long-term value.
Next Step
If you would like an initial discussion or would like us to review your site suitability, we would be happy to arrange a no-obligation call. Our aim is to provide clarity and support from the outset, with no pressure to proceed.
You will have to contact your electricity provider to get this information.
The three funding options:
Capital Expenditure - where the client pays out right and benefits from the free solar generation and the battery storage benefits including export income of 12pkWh
Asset finance or operating lease - the client will enter into a fixed or solar generation tracker repayment scheme to repay the capital cost over seven to ten years.
Power Purchase Agreements - where we offer either fixed rate PPA's that are not linked to inflation over 15 years or inflation linked 25 year PPAs with lower PPA rates at the start of the programme. The first scheme offers clarity and stability without the variability of inflation rates, the latter offer lower initial rates but is dependent on inflation as the term matures.

Case Studies
PRODUCTS
AI Edge delivers fully funded and capital-efficient solar PV and battery storage solutions for commercial organisations. We design, install and finance high-performance renewable energy systems that reduce electricity costs, improve energy resilience and accelerate decarbonisation without upfront capital expenditure. Through flexible structures including CAPEX, asset finance and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), we enable clients to unlock long-term energy savings while meeting their ESG and net-zero commitments.
We operate a large network of installers across the UK and source our solar panels and batteries from insurance backed wholesalers. Our funding solution is unique as we offer both a 25 year inflation linked PPA offering lower rates or our market leading short term 15 year fixed rate PPA which has no linkage to inflation or fluctuations in the energy markets.
Our fixed rate PPA provides transparency and certainty of the cost of energy generated on site from solar and imported power into the battery unlike most PPA agreements that have inflation increases built in to the future pricing.
In addition, we also accept paid for installations as well as other funding mechanisms including operating and asset lease finance which are typically between five and seven years.

F.A.Q
For Chatbot Integration
1. What does AI Edge do?
We help UK businesses and consumers navigate solar PV and battery storage solutions independently. We're not tied to any specific provider—our focus is finding you the best deals on the market.
2. Are you independent or do you work with specific suppliers?
We are completely independent and product-agnostic. We assess the market to secure the most favorable options for your specific needs.
3. Who do you typically work with?
We work with businesses of all sizes, public sector organizations, and residential consumers looking to reduce energy costs and move toward net zero.
4. How long does the typical solar and battery installation process take?
From initial expression of interest to final installation, the process typically takes 6-9 months, depending on site complexity and grid connection requirements.
5. Do I need to pay anything upfront?
There are no costs for initial consultations, data analysis, or preliminary proposals. Investment in detailed engineering begins after you sign a non-binding Letter of Intent (Step 5).
6. What happens if I decide not to proceed after the Letter of Intent?
You can withdraw before Step 7 with no cost recovery. After Step 7 (Final Proposal Approval), withdrawal may result in recovery of incurred professional and statutory costs.
7. Can you help with funding options?
Yes, we can align funding solutions where required as part of Step 5 of our process.
8. What kind of savings can I expect?
Savings vary based on your current energy consumption, tariff rates, system size, and battery capacity. We provide detailed savings forecasts as part of our initial proposal (Step 4).
9. Do you handle all the paperwork and grid connection applications?
Yes, we manage DNO (District Network Operator) applications, site surveys, and all necessary documentation throughout the process.
10. What data do you need from me to get started?
We need 12 months of half-hourly electricity consumption data and a recent utility bill to establish your usage baseline.
11. What areas do you cover?
We serve clients across the UK.
12. How do I get started?
Simply call or email us for an informal, no-obligation chat. We'll discuss your needs and assess if solar and battery storage is right for you.
