Absolar’s remote survey technologyassessed all 65+ commercial properties and ground spaces, revealing each site’ssolar PV potential, projected return on investment, and detailed financialanalysis.
Moto Hospitality operates the UK’s largest motorway service network, with 65roadside locations serving millions of travellers each year.
As part of its sustainability strategy, Moto is exploring solar PV installations across its estate. However, carrying out traditional on-site surveys for dozens of locations spread across the country would have been both costly and time-consuming.
The company’s vision is to roll out portfolio-wide solar PV systems with consistent engineering quality, supported by a central platform to monitor performance across all sites. Achieving this requires:
Moto needs an experienced partner that can deliver solar projects at portfolio scale. Absolar’s track record with multi-site installations and their integrated solar monitoring platform give us the confidence to track performance across all sites, with one point of responsibility.
Absolar delivered a full remote solar survey across all 65 Moto sites, producing a detailed solar potential report for each location. Each report included system size, installation cost, payback period, financial options, and projected CO₂ savings.
This approach allowed Moto to assess its entire portfolio quickly, quantify the financial benefits and asset value uplift, and identify the sites most suitable for early investment.
Following the remote solar surveys, Absolar worked closely with the Moto team to run a competitive tender process, assess project proposals, and support the successful delivery of multiple solar installations.
