Hybrid Solar PV/T for the Public Sector


Generate electricity & heat from the same space & solar panel

4× the carbon saving & energy yield of solar PV

High Energy Costs? 

Low Carbon Energy with zero CAPEX
BEE funds, supplies and operates cutting edge hybrid solar PV/thermal systems that generate heat and electricity from the same roof area, maximising usable solar energy for commercial applications to save you money and carbon.
Our PV/thermal systems deliver up to 4× greater carbon savings than standard solar PV by producing both usable heat and electricity from the same roof area.
BEE is unique because we are flexible in combining funding, installation, and ongoing operation into a single service that delivers both heat and power to match the demand.

wide Range of Applications

A wide range of sites are suitable for an BEE Energy Purchase Agreement. The model is driven by heat demand rather than a specific building type.

Any organisation with consistent hot water or space-heating requirements can be a strong candidate, particularly where there is available roof space (or suitable car parks for car-ports) and a desire to reduce exposure to volatile energy prices and reduce running costs.

Leisure facilities, hotels, care environments, education estates, and industrial process users often perform well, but suitability is determined by the operating profile, load consistency, and practical integration with existing plant.

Each project is assessed on its energy use pattern then modelled to confirm expected outputs and the best fit agreement format.  The outcome is a deliverable plan with clear assumptions, a defined scope, and an agreement designed around measurable heat delivery.

How the Agreement Works

Once a site is identified as suitable, BEE completes a full feasibility assessment to size the hybrid solar PV/T system and confirm the most appropriate contract structure — Heat Purchase Agreement (HPA), Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), or a blended approach.

We then deliver a clear proposal showing expected heat delivery, on-site electrical utilisation, projected carbon savings, and the agreed unit rates.

After installation, customers can either purchase the system outright, buy the output via an HPA/PPA contract, or fund ownership through asset finance.

Alternatively, the customer can purchase the rights of ownership under the agreement at an agreed point, taking over the asset and continuing to benefit from metered heat and/or power.

In all cases, performance is tracked through the BEE portal to provide transparent reporting, trend data and verified outputs — keeping risk low and savings measurable.

Designed With Purpose
Zero CAPEX available for qualifying projects.

BEE can offer a zero-CAPEX route for qualifying projects, enabling organisations to secure low-carbon heat without committing upfront capital. Under this structure, BEE funds the design, equipment, installation, and commissioning, then retains ownership and operational responsibility for the hybrid solar PV/thermal system.

The customer benefits from a clearly defined heat supply arrangement, avoiding the procurement and asset-management burden typically associated with complex renewable heat projects.

A zero-CAPEX offer is not a generic 'one size fits all' product. Eligibility is driven by the fundamentals of the site: consistent heat demand (particularly domestic hot water), suitable roof area and orientation, predictable operating hours, and a commercial structure that supports long-term operation.

Where these conditions are met, the system can be sized and controlled to maximise on-site heat delivery, with the electrical output used to generate additional heat on site via heat pumps, immersion heaters, or other heat-generating devices.

Where a project does not meet full zero-CAPEX criteria, BEE can still structure an accessible solution through low-CAPEX or shared-investment models, while keeping the same core benefits: professional system design, monitored performance, and clear operational accountability. In every case, the objective is to deliver measurable heat output, reduce exposure to energy price volatility, and provide a practical, financeable pathway to decarbonisation with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.

Delivered as a Service

BEE provides Heat & Power Purchase Agreements (HPA / PPA) that enable organisations to secure renewable heat with minimal upfront cost and zero CAPEX for qualifying projects.

We take ownership of your hybrid solar PV/thermal system and its operation, while you purchase delivered heat under an agreed tariff structure and term.

The system’s electrical output can be used on site to generate additional heat, increasing overall solar utilisation and maximising project economics. This makes sense when heat energy is the premium.
