Case Study: Ford (Harlow & Hertfordshire)
Sector: Automotive
In 2024, Geo Green Power partnered with Gates Fordstore to deliver a comprehensive solar PV solution across three of their key locations in Stevenage, Harlow, and Waltham Cross. This large-scale project involved the installation of 330kWp of solar capacity, significantly modernising the energy infrastructure of these dealerships.
These systems are now generating over 280,000kWh of green energy annually, the equivalent of powering nearly 50 homes. This transition to renewables has enabled Gates Fordstore to slash its carbon footprint by 70 tonnes of CO2 every year.
To ensure long-term efficiency and peak performance, Geo Green Power provides ongoing annual servicing for all three sites, guaranteeing that the systems continue to deliver maximum environmental and financial returns.

Complete Renewable Energy for Business
Essex businesses can access financial support to accelerate their transition to green energy. Through Essex County Council sustainability initiatives and regional funds, such as those often supported by the Southeast Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP), eligible SMEs can frequently find match-funded grants for energy upgrades.
Furthermore, the UK government’s Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and Full Expensing schemes allow companies to deduct 100% of the cost of their commercial solar installation from taxable profits in the first year. These incentives make commercial solar in Essex a high-yield financial decision for local enterprises.

FAQs for solar panels in Essex
Where Can You Install Solar Panels?
Do I need Planning Permission?
- A roof mounted solar installation must not protrude more than 200mm, unless it is a flat roof installation where the solar PV must be less than 1m above the highest part of the flat roof.
- A roof mounted solar installation must be further than 1m away from the edge of the roof or wall joint. For AONB or similarly restricted locations, the panels must not be on the roof slope or wall facing the road.
- Solar installations should be sited so as to minimise their effect on the external appearance of the property and the amenity of the area, while unused equipment should be removed as soon as possible.
