About Absolar

We combine scientific research, advanced technology, and engineering expertise to design and deliver long-term energy solutions.

Who are we

Originally a spin-out from University of Southampton's Energy & Climate Change Division, Absolar is a technology-led energy company focused on delivering renewable energy solutions for commercial buildings and portfolios.

Our team brings together scientists, AI developers, financial specialists, and solar engineers, united by a shared purpose: supporting energy decisions from early design through to delivery and long-term operation of renewable energy systems.

Absolar operates across the full lifecycle of a project.

  1. Support Decision Making with Unbiased Insight
    We support clients at the point where decisions matter most, using technology and analysis to evaluate options and test different scenarios before commitments are made.
  2. Engineering Excellence in Every Angle
    Our engineers and accredited project managers carry those decisions through delivery, ensuring installations are executed safely, clearly, and in line with what was set out at proposal stage.
  3. Continuous Customer Service for Maximum Benefit
    Our in-house technology team supports systems beyond commissioning, using live data to monitor performance, optimise operation, and identify issues early, ensuring energy assets continue to deliver value over time.
