Pitched & metal roofs
Standing seam, trapezoidal and pitched factory roofs, with clamp or rail systems that protect the roof warranty and the structure beneath.
Factory solar panels
for manufacturing sites.
Rooftop and ground-mount PV for factories and manufacturing sites, sized to your daytime load, with battery storage designed around the loads that must stay on and installation programmed around production. One accountable UK contractor engineers, installs and maintains it all.

01. Who this page is for
Sized to the process,
Sized to the process,
installed around production.
Written for manufacturers, plant managers, finance directors and energy managers with a factory roof and daytime electricity demand from production. Factory solar pays back by replacing electricity you would otherwise buy at your import rate, so the best systems are sized to the load underneath them. The more of the generation you use on site, the stronger the business case.
We start with your half-hourly or billed consumption data and the roof itself: structure, covering, orientation, shading and access. From that, we design an array with the right inverter strategy, apply to the DNO under G99 where required and produce a business case with capex, lease and PPA routes for your finance team to sign off. Add a commercial battery and it can shave peaks, shift consumption and keep critical loads such as process lines running through an interruption.
Installation is RAMS-led and sequenced around production, with our own engineers and roofing crew on site, drawing on experience across manufacturing sites. After commissioning, monitoring and a maintenance plan keep the asset performing and give you the generation and carbon data your ESG reporting needs.

Solar, storage and charging
Solar, storage and charging
for your plant.
Flat roofs
Ballasted or fixed systems on flat membranes, designed with wind loading and structural capacity in mind.
Ground-mount
Framed arrays on spare land beside the site, for when the roof is unsuitable or your demand outstrips what the roof can supply.
Battery storage
Peak shaving, tariff optimisation, resilience for process lines and flexibility income, integrated with the array.
Explore battery storagePeak shaving
Discharge during your most expensive hours to reduce the peaks that drive capacity and time-of-use charges.

questions answered.
Will installation disrupt production?
Our installations are RAMS-led and sequenced around your operating hours, tenants and site access. We have delivered our industrial rooftop projects around live operations.
Can the battery keep our lines running in a power cut?
We can design the system to back up selected critical loads. Tell us what must stay on and we'll design around it.
Do we need DNO or G99 approval?
Most commercial systems are above the G98 limits, so a G99 application must be approved by your Distribution Network Operator before connection. Where network capacity is constrained, an export limitation scheme (G100) can help. We prepare and manage the application and any export limits it sets.
Can we avoid capital expenditure?
Yes. Alongside outright purchase we can structure operating lease and third-party PPA routes, so the installation can sit on or off the balance sheet.
What data will we get for ESG reporting?
Monitoring gives you generation, consumption and carbon-reduction data, backed by MCS documentation, for ESG and board reporting.
Can a battery reduce our demand charges?
It can. Peak shaving discharges the battery during your highest-demand periods, reducing the peaks behind capacity and time-of-use charges. The saving depends on your peaks and tariff, which we model from your half-hourly data.
How does solar pay back on a site like ours?
Every kWh you generate and use on site is a kWh you do not buy at your import rate, and any surplus can be exported. Payback depends on your daytime demand, roof, tariff and finance route, so your feasibility study models a savings forecast and indicative ROI from your own consumption data rather than a generic figure.
Is VAT charged on commercial solar?
Commercial installations are subject to VAT at 20%, which VAT-registered businesses can normally reclaim. Your accountant should confirm how it applies to your organisation.
Who maintains the system after installation?
Our operations and maintenance team provides monitoring, planned maintenance, mechanical panel cleaning, fault response and insurance repair works for the life of the asset.
