Smarter industrial solar panels for optimum performance

Our solar PPA energy solution for manufacturing, supported by the Optimise Portal, gives you real time visibility and control over onsite generation and consumption, helping you unlock stronger performance and greater cost control:

  • Optimal cost savings
  • Enhanced building efficiency
  • Lower emissions
  • Independence from a volatile energy market
  • Long-term price stability

Strengthening manufacturing performance with smarter energy

Helping you achieve net zero targets

Power heavy machinery is a key focus for the UK’s sustainability. Manufacturers prioritise the  reduction of their environmental impact, to progress towards net-zero targets and leave a lower carbon footprint. Adopting a Power-Zero energy solution for manufacturing will help you reduce your carbon footprint and enhance your ESG credentials.

Boosting cost resilience and energy security

Costly business overheads are making energy consumption a growing cause for concern among UK manufacturers, particularly with rising energy costs and market instability. Our solar panels for factories deliver a secure, stable, long-term energy source, helping to protect your business operations from potential power cuts, supply chain disruptions and future price hikes.

Driving competitive growth and business reputation

As sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the supply chain, reducing your emissions will give you a competitive edge over businesses with poor green credentials. Manufacturers can leverage self-generated clean solar energy to position themselves as leaders in sustainable manufacturing.

Delivering solar PPA solutions to manufacturing businesses UK-wide

We partner with businesses across a wide range of sectors to provide intelligent, data-driven, sustainable energy solutions. We fund, design, build, install, operate and manage the system on your behalf with zero upfront CAPEX or OPEX costs.

Manage your energy efficiency with Optimise Portal

Power Zero are proud to offer a centralised portal for managing your energy usage, allowing you to get the very best performance from your industrial solar panels. The Optimise portal provides real-time usage visibility, data and insights into your energy consumption, allowing you to maximise your efficiency.

Industrial Solar Panel FAQs

What happens to industrial solar panels during cloudy weather or winter months?

Industrial solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunshine, so they continue producing energy in overcast conditions. Output will vary seasonally, but systems are modelled against your annual energy demand to ensure meaningful contribution throughout the year. Any shortfall is seamlessly supplemented by grid supply.

How can solar panels for manufacturing protect my business against energy price volatility?

Energy prices for manufacturing can be highly volatile in price, as the day-to-day costs of running machinery are high, alongside world events affecting energy pricing. The installation of industrial solar panels helps to alleviate this via a solar power purchase agreement, which creates a more stable form of renewable energy for businesses. 

Is there any upfront cost or capital investment required?

No. Under the fully funded purchase agreement, we design, finance, install, own and maintain the system. Your business simply purchases the electricity generated at an agreed rate, typically below grid prices. This allows you to reduce costs and carbon emissions without CAPEX or operational risk.

Do solar panels for factories require lots of maintenance?

Industrial solar panels have no moving parts and require minimal ongoing maintenance. With a managed PPA solution, monitoring, servicing and performance optimisation are handled on your behalf, ensuring reliable output without adding operational burden to your team.
