Solar Power for Manufacturers
Manufacturers can cut their energy bills by up to 70% with rooftop solar. The roof is otherwise dead space, but prime real estate for commercial solar. Coupled with high electricity demands, solar makes perfect sense.
Turn your roof into an on-site generator of clean, green, free electricity.

Solar panels for manufacturing businesses
If you run a manufacturing business, you might think that your building is simply a space that you use to get on with day-to-day operations. But if you are not thinking about how to best use the whole of the space, you could be missing out. Many manufacturing businesses have very large buildings and warehouses with a completely unused roof space.
It is this space that can be used to house a solar PV panel installation. Generating your own power through solar panels can not only benefit you significantly, but it could also be a boon to the environment.
What are the benefits of rooftop solar for manufacturers?
Rooftop solar offers manufacturers a smart, sustainable way to cut energy costs and future-proof operations. Here’s why it makes business sense:
Lower Energy Bills
Generate on-site electricity and reduce bills by up to 70%—ideal for high-energy manufacturing environments.
Energy Price Protection
Reduce reliance on volatile grid prices and gain control over long-term energy spend.
Meet Net Zero Targets
Cut carbon emissions and support ESG strategies with clean, renewable energy.
Maximise Roof Space
Turn unused roof areas into valuable energy-generating assets without disrupting operations.
Access to Incentives
Benefit from grants, tax allowances, and finance options to lower upfront costs.

Solar funding options for manufacturers
Investing in commercial solar doesn’t have to mean large upfront costs. There are several funding routes available to help manufacturers make the switch to clean energy—while protecting cash flow and improving ROI.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
A Power Purchase Agreement allows you to install a solar PV system with no upfront capital investment. A third-party investor funds the system and sells you the electricity at a lower rate than your current supplier. This is ideal for manufacturers wanting to cut costs and carbon without tying up capital.

Asset Finance
Spread the cost of your solar installation over time with asset finance, such as lease or hire purchase agreements. This allows manufacturers to preserve working capital while still benefiting from reduced energy costs and potential tax efficiencies.

Government Grants & Incentives
Eligible manufacturers may be able to access regional or national grant funding, especially for projects that support sustainability or decarbonisation goals. These can significantly lower the cost of your solar project and improve payback periods.
