UPOWA has announced a three-year national supplier agreement with Barratt Developments to deliver solar PV requirements for a range of their new housing developments.
The sustainable technology company will partner with eight Barratt and David Wilson Homes divisions to support their Part L transition and full implementation needs for sites throughout South and West England.
Under the partnership, the UPOWA team will manage design, product supply, installation, and maintenance of solar PV systems to help the housebuilder deliver sustainable homes that are fit for the future.
UPOWA will supply its Inline Solar system, which offers housing developers market-leading power, safety and design, backed by robust supply.
James Bull, managing director at UPOWA, said: “We are proud to get this deal over the line and become one of Barratt Developments’ trusted solar PV suppliers. With a track record of delivering first-class solar PV installations for several of its divisions over the last ten years, this new partnership confirms their trust in our specialist solar product and service. We look forward to helping Barratt and David Wilson Homes to create high-quality sustainable homes that will save homeowners energy, reduce emissions, and combat rising energy prices.”
UPOWA will support eight Barratt and David Wilson Homes divisions to make the primary energy part of Part L transition as pain-free as possible. This includes helping to find customer cost-friendly PV solutions to meet the new carbon reduction targets.
Currently, around 10% of the 180,000 new homes built in England have solar PV installed. But it’s estimated that this figure will rise rapidly to as much as 80% as the new Part L and the Future Homes Standards come into force from June this year.
Bukky Bird, group sustainability director at Barratt Developments, said: “We aim to be the country’s leading national sustainable housebuilder, and securing long-term partnerships with our PV suppliers is an important part of that. This new three year agreement with UPOWA will help our customers to reduce their energy use and to save money.”
