BMW/Mini Ipswich Goes Green
Throughout 2023 and 2024 we partnered with Inchcape UK to install solar PV across their estate of car dealership. We completed 38 installations in total including a 50kWp system for their BMW/Mini dealership in Ipswich.
This installation is estimated to generate 42,500kWhs of energy and will save 10 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year. This is the equivalent to taking two petrol cars off the road permanently.
Following the tender process we were delighted to award our initial contract to Geo Green Power for our trial sites. The process was incredibly smooth from start to finish and our first sites are now enjoying free, green electricity, protecting them against the huge increase in electricity costs that we are seeing. The obvious next step was to crack on and get the same solution installed at more sites.

How much does it cost to set up solar panels for your business?
The answer depends on several critical considerations:
The type of roof will impact the cost of your solar PV system. Metal roofs are known for being the most economical for solar panel installations, with slate tiled roofs being the most complex.
A tailored safety plan is developed for each project, considering the unique features of your property. Access challenges or specific structural characteristics will increase the overall installation budget
If your existing electrical infrastructure is outdated or unsuitable for solar PV, any necessary upgrades will be included in your proposal costs. This ensures your system meets modern safety and efficiency standards.
Top-tier panels and reliable inverters are the cornerstone of our installations. While high-quality components come at a premium, they provide long-term value and peace of mind.

Grants and Financial Incentives
Ipswich businesses can access financial support to accelerate their transition to renewable energy. Through Ipswich Borough Council sustainability initiatives and regional decarbonisation funds, such as those often supported by the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), eligible SMEs can frequently find match-funded grants designed to support energy-efficiency upgrades.
Furthermore, the UK government’s Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and Full Expensing schemes allow companies to deduct 100% of the cost of commercial solar panels in Ipswich from their taxable profits in the first year. When combined with ongoing revenue from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), these incentives transform commercial solar in Ipswich into a high-yield financial asset.

FAQs for solar panels in Ipswich
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.
