MSF SOLAR
About Us
MSF Solar UK Limited is a solar energy development business. We develop, finance, build and operate utility scale solar power and energy storage projects in the United Kingdom.
Our aim is to deliver affordable, sustainable solar power to people and communities across the UK.
Our experience and expertise allow us to assess opportunities and make decisions quickly, and our ability to move fast gives us the advantage in the market.
Through our strong and established relationships with experienced and responsible partners, we can ensure our projects are of the highest quality, achieving optimal buildability, yield performance and environmental impact. We are committed to developing high quality projects which see benefits delivered to residents and the natural environment.
In doing that, we will seek to:
-
Identify and develop sites attuned to specific local contexts and utilising the best technical teams available.
-
Create best design solution based on the input from local consultation and engagement with residents and stakeholders.
-
To always seek to enhance the ecological and nature conservation value of the sites we develop, with net gains for British biodiversity.
-
That our development’s contribute more broadly to sustainable development in the round, seeking not just increased renewable energy, but also an overall improvement to environmental, economic and social outcomes for people.
The Benefits of Solar:
Solar is a passive form of electricity generation, with no waste, noise or emissions created during electricity production. Solar works well everywhere in the UK – solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to operate, and they produce energy all year round.
​
Solar and battery storage have no moving parts and therefore operate quietly, also being ground-mounted and relatively low in height they can be easily screened by fencing or hedgerows. In most cases 99% of a solar panel is recyclable.
​
The primary input for solar – light – is free and it is one of the most quickly deployable renewable technologies on the market.
​
The UK will need to deploy at least 40GW of solar by 2030 representing 15% of the UK’s annual power need. Domestic solar energy production increases the UK energy independence.
​
Ground mounted solar projects can deliver major benefits to the environment. In addition to providing clean, affordable energy they can improve local biodiversity by supporting new and existing plant life.
Solar farms are temporary, and the land is fully reinstated to farmland once the equipment is removed at the end of the project life.
Solar farms do not present a risk to the UK’s food security as there is enough agricultural land to meet the UK’s needs. Solar farms can provide a valuable income stream for farmers to continue food production on other parts of their land, whilst solar farms themselves can still be used for sheep grazing.
If you are a Landowner:
We are actively seeking land to develop as a solar farm and looking for landowners to partner with through 35-40-year leases. We can offer:
-
Attractive, index linked rental payments
-
Predictable long-term security of income (up to 40 years)
-
Increased biodiversity
-
Multi-use tenure – grazing
