About
Solar in Sport
Solar in Sport was founded by Terry Heydon, after a career spent building solar and energy efficiency businesses across the UK. The idea was simple: use that experience to help grassroots sports clubs reduce one of their biggest long-term operating costs.
We are a small, dedicated team with experience across commercial energy, solar, metering and infrastructure projects. Our ambition is straightforward: to make it genuinely easy for sports clubs to reduce their energy costs without complexity, without capital outlay, and without distraction from the things that matter most to them.
We install, fund, own and maintain solar PV, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure at clubs across the UK. Clubs pay nothing upfront. They host the equipment, buy the electricity it generates at a rate below their normal grid costs, and continue running their club as usual.
No contractor management. No technical burden on the club. Just a simpler route to lower-cost electricity generated on site.
Energy costs are now one of the biggest operational pressures facing grassroots sport. Most clubs already understand that solar and battery storage could help, but the upfront cost and complexity often put it out of reach. Solar in Sport was built specifically to remove those barriers. Every pound a club saves on energy is a pound it can put back into players, coaching, facilities and the next generation of sport.
All installations are carried out by accredited engineers, and every system is monitored and maintained by us throughout the agreement. Our model only works if the systems perform well over the long term, so we remain actively involved in making sure they continue delivering value to the club year after year.

“After spending many years building energy businesses, Solar in Sport is about using that experience to help clubs that are genuinely feeling the squeeze from rising operating costs. Running a sports club is about the players, the facilities and the community — not energy contracts. That's exactly why I created Solar in Sport.”
