Commercial Solar Panel Installation
In today’s competitive landscape, factories face the dual challenge of managing rising energy costs while adopting sustainable practices. We provide tailored solar panel installation for factories, empowering manufacturing facilities to cut energy expenses, reduce their carbon footprint, and achieve long-term operational efficiency.
Whether you’re running an energy-intensive production line or managing large-scale facilities, our custom solar solutions deliver measurable results.
Factories are perfect candidates for solar energy due to their high energy consumption and vast roof or ground space. Here’s how solar panels benefit your operations:
With high electricity demands, energy bills can be a significant burden. Solar panels allow factories to generate their own power, reducing reliance on grid electricity and saving thousands annually.
Energy price fluctuations can disrupt financial planning. Solar power provides price stability, allowing factories to take control of their energy expenses with predictable savings.
Factories often have expansive flat roofs or surrounding land—ideal for installing solar panels. These spaces can be transformed into energy-generating assets.
Customers and partners increasingly value businesses that demonstrate environmental responsibility. Solar panels help your factory reduce its carbon emissions and align with sustainability goals.
Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, factories can sell surplus energy back to the grid, creating an extra income stream.
We understand that no two factories are alike. That’s why we offer bespoke solar solutions tailored to your energy needs, property layout, and industry requirements:
Leverage your factory’s large, flat roof to install an extensive solar array. This space-efficient solution generates substantial energy while preserving ground space.
For factories with available land, ground-mounted systems provide scalable, high-capacity solutions to meet even the most demanding energy requirements.
Pair your solar system with battery storage to store excess energy generated during peak sunlight hours. Use this stored power during the night or peak consumption periods for uninterrupted operations.
From powering heavy machinery to running HVAC systems, solar energy can meet the unique demands of factory operations.
We handle every step of the solar installation process, ensuring a seamless transition to renewable energy for your factory:
We assess your factory’s energy usage, property layout, and sustainability goals to design a system that delivers maximum efficiency and ROI.
Our team conducts a detailed site survey to evaluate roof or land suitability, sunlight exposure, and structural integrity.
Using advanced modeling tools, we design a tailored solar system that meets your factory’s unique requirements.
Our certified installers complete the project efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations while adhering to the highest safety standards.
Once installed, we provide ongoing monitoring tools and maintenance services to keep your solar panels performing at their best.
An automotive parts manufacturer installed a 300kW solar system on their factory roof. The system now powers 60% of their energy needs, saving £40,000 annually on electricity bills and cutting CO₂ emissions by 200 tonnes per year.
A food processing plant utilized unused land for a 500kW ground-mounted solar array. The system offset 70% of their energy consumption, with the surplus energy sold back to the grid, earning them an additional £15,000 annually.
This textile factory installed a hybrid solar and battery system to meet the high energy demands of their production lines. The system reduced energy costs by 50% and ensured uninterrupted operations during grid outages.
Q: How much energy can solar panels generate for a factory?
This depends on your system’s size and available space. For example, a 500kW system can generate approximately 500,000 kWh of electricity annually, enough to power a medium-sized factory.
Q: Are solar panels suitable for factories in the UK?
Yes! Solar panels are highly efficient even in cloudy weather, making them ideal for the UK’s climate.
Q: Can solar panels power heavy machinery?
Absolutely. Solar systems are scalable, meaning they can meet the energy demands of heavy machinery and production lines.
Q: What is the payback period for factory solar installations?
Most factories see a return on investment within 5-7 years, with systems lasting 25+ years.
