Software for renewable energy, built inside a renewables group
Solar and battery storage projects run on evidence: inspection and test records for every package, plant on remote sites and a data room for every acquisition. The William Hynes Group builds, acquires and manages these assets, and we built the software its teams run on. Nobody arrives knowing your projects better: renewable energy and utilities businesses get the same proven systems, fitted to their own sites.
Proven in our own group
Already running across our own group
Our sister companies build, acquire, supply and manage solar and battery storage assets across the UK and Ireland. The site systems run on William Hynes Energistics projects, and the acquisition workspace runs for WillBe Energy.
- We hold a library of 74 inspection and test plan templates for solar and battery storage work, with hold, witness and review points, which you can edit or extend.
- A library of over 100 report and record templates covers daily diaries, inspection registers, hold and witness points, non-conformances, snag lists, photo packs and client handover packs, as spreadsheets or branded PDFs.
- Every machine carries a QR label. The operator scans it with their own phone, with no app to install, completes the pre-use check and takes photos, and a defect that stops use tags the machine DO NOT USE straight away.
- A health, safety and environment module holds the incident register (with a RIDDOR flag and root-cause prompts), scored inspections, corrective actions and a safety dashboard.
- Solar and battery storage acquisitions are assessed in one private workspace: an indexed data room, facts traced to their source, a live register across every workstream and a priced offer.

For renewable energy and utilities
Three things we build first
- 01
Inspection and test plans
Inspection and test plans for solar, battery storage and grid packages, started from our template library and edited to match your specifications.
- 02
Plant and logistics register
A plant and logistics register for remote sites, with QR pre-use checks and idle hired plant flagged for off-hire.
- 03
Acquisition and investor data room
An acquisition and investor data room that indexes every document, traces each fact to its source and keeps the workstream register current.
Where we start
One job first, done properly
We start where your evidence is thinnest, usually quality records at handover or the data room before a sale. Because we built these systems for our own projects, we arrive knowing what an inspection and test plan, a handover pack or a due diligence register needs to contain, and we spend the first weeks fitting them to your specifications rather than learning the trade.
Connections
Work with what you have
Tools businesses like yours often use. We connect to what you already have; naming a tool does not imply any partnership.
- Microsoft 365
- SharePoint
- Sage Accounting
- Companies House
- Mapping services
Tell us the job
Tell us which handover pack or data room took longest to put together, and we will show you how we build it once and reuse it.
