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.
Should you consider solar panels in Ipswich?
Is it worth installing solar panels in Ipswich? The further south in the UK you are, the more beneficial solar PV systems become due to increased sunshine. Solar panel installations in Ipswich provide a number of benefits including:
Lower electricity bills - generate a large portion of the energy you need on-site.
Increase energy stability - reduce dependency on the grid and exposure to price increases.
Improve your environmental footprint - reduce your impact through renewable energy.
For over a decade, Geo Green Power has worked with businesses across Ipswich and the UK, delivering tailored renewable energy systems. We focus on clean energy solutions that cut costs. Our clientele includes major brands, and we pride ourselves on building long-term partnerships, with many clients working with us on additional projects as their businesses expand.
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If your existing electrical infrastructure is outdated or unsuitable for solar PV, any necessary upgrades will be included in your proposal costs.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.

FAQs for solar panels in Ipswich
Where can you install solar panels?
Solar panels can be installed on flat or pitched roofs using metal frames to secure them. For new roofs, in-roof solar replaces roof tiles and lies flush with the surface. Solar slate tiles mimic regular slate for listed buildings. Panels can also go on building facades.
For large sites without suitable roof space, ground installations work well.

Are there any local grants available for solar panels in Ipswich?
We aren’t aware of any specific grants available for installing solar panels in the London area, however an investment in renewable energy may be eligible for business development grant funding.
We recommend talking to your local council and the London Chamber of Commerce for information on business development grants in your area.
Do I need Planning Permission?
If planning permission is needed, we can provide full support with applications to streamline the process. Some key limits are:
- 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.
Listed buildings, scheduled monuments and world heritage sites require permission. We advise on requirements and assist with applications for quick approval.
What finance options are available for businesses looking to invest in solar panels?
There are a number of options for businesses to access finance to fund a solar PV project. These range from Asset Finance and Power Purchase Agreements to solar panel leasing schemes.
There is more information on these finance options here.
