What is
Touchstar designs and installs roof and ground-mounted solar PV sized to your site’s own demand, so more of what you generate is used on site, where it is worth most.

Energy is one of the largest costs on an operational site, and the pressure to cut carbon keeps growing. Touchstar designs and installs roof and ground-mounted solar PV sized to your site’s own demand, so more of what you generate is used on site, where it is worth most.
Scroll through to see it in place across each sector.
Cold Stores and Chilled Warehouses
Refrigeration is often a site’s biggest energy cost. Cooling demand peaks at midday, when solar generates most, so panels power your refrigeration directly.
Manufacturing Plants
Production lines drawing heavy daytime loads across long shifts, where on-site generation offsets grid power at the hours the plant needs it most.
Distribution Centres
Large, flat roofs over buildings that run lighting, conveyors and refrigeration through the day, well suited to solar PV sized around that demand.
Schools and Universities
Teaching buildings occupied through daylight hours during term, with roof space that can generate power while classes run and cut campus energy costs.
Hospitals
Wards and theatres draw power around the clock, so panel output is used on site as generated, supporting NHS net zero targets.
Retail Buildings
Stores trade through daylight hours, when lights, tills and chillers are running, so rooftop solar PV powers the shop floor as it generates.
Public Sector Buildings
Public buildings are busiest during the working day, when solar PV generates most, cutting energy costs and supporting your published carbon reduction targets.
Depots and Yards
Depots run workshops, lighting and site offices through the working day, and large roofs and yard space give solar PV room to power them.
Power you use on site is worth more than power you export. We size roof or ground-mounted PV around your site’s daily demand, so more of the panels’ output runs your site instead of going to the grid.
Touchstar installs and maintains access control, CCTV, fire and workforce systems on operational sites, so your solar PV can be designed and installed by a team that already knows the building, with UK-based support after handover. Because Touchstar also runs IQ Logistics, our sister division tracking fleets, deliveries and fuel operations, we are the only provider in our UK competitive set that can secure your building and track what moves through it. One partner, no blind spots. More than 40 years designing systems for operational environments, backed by:
ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus held across the business.
UK-based design, installation and support, with no offshore service desk.
Bring us twelve months of energy bills. We will tell you how much of your demand solar PV could cover and what size of system makes sense. It costs you nothing to ask.
