Commercial Solar Installers: Ashby-de-la-Zouch

To reduce its carbon footprint and mitigate climbing energy expenses, Leicester-based BPX teamed up with Geo Green Power to install a customised 171kWp commercial solar PV system across its east-west roof surfaces.

The new setup generates enough renewable power to meet 70% of the facility’s summer electricity needs while eliminating 38 tonnes of CO₂ each year, positioning the investment to pay for itself in less than two and a half years.

Local enterprises have access to multiple financing mechanisms and local grant frameworks to assist with capital deployment.

Options fluctuate throughout the financial year, so businesses should evaluate current updates provided through the Leicester & Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP), Northwest Leicestershire District Council, and Leicestershire County Council funding streams.

On a national level, commercial entities can capitalise on the UK Government’s Capital Allowances, including Full Expensing and the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), allowing eligible firms to deduct up to 100% of their solar system cost against taxable profits in Year 1.

When coupled with ongoing revenue streams through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), commercial PV represents a high-performing financial asset for regional organisations.
