International real estate advisor Savills has entered into a collaboration with Solarcentury.

The UK's leading solar energy company will work with Savills to provide advice on solar photovoltaic systems as part of the property firm's Corporate Real Estate advisory offer. The combined solar solutions service, which will provide energy security from green resource as well as a return on capital invested, will include financial analysis, design, planning, installation, project management and ongoing support.

Solarcentury has represented clients including British Land, Transport for London, The Metropolitan Police, London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority and The Big Yellow Storage Company. It has also developed leasing offers to benefit charities and public sector organisations. Products such as its 'Energy Roof' and 'Solar Façade' have enabled organisations to save thousands of pounds in electricity bills, such on the Co-operative Insurance Tower, Manchester; at Gazeley UK's Blue Planet, Chatterley Valley and British Lands' property at Ropemaker Place in London.

Jon Hutt, director of corporate real estate at Savills, says: "Through our collaboration with Solarcentury we will provide cost effective solutions to those corporates who wish to meet the CSR agenda whilst reducing operational expenditure."

Derry Newman, CEO, Solarcentury says: "Solarcentury wants to make solar power simple for business. In working with Savills we are making it even easier for businesses to go solar, using our ten years experience to guide them through the very latest investment decisions for their property portfolio. The new Feed-in tariff presents a great opportunity for businesses to invest in renewables, with guaranteed returns for 25 years for those using solar; businesses need to know how to take advantage of it."
