Solar panels for manufacturers and factories
Secure an energy resilient future for your manufacturing business with a commercial solar installation – all while saving on electricity costs.
Why should manufacturers and factories install solar panels?
As pressure builds to report on Scope 2 emissions and cut operational costs, solar can help meet targets without compromising productivity. Installing solar panels can deliver significant operational, financial and environmental benefits:
Reduce the cost and strain of increased electrification
Trends such as reductions in fossil energy usage and rising automation are leading to increased electricity demand in manufacturing. On-site renewable generation such as commercial solar panels can minimise the impact on operational costs.
Combat energy insecurity
As an energy intensive sector, it’s no surprise that 91% of manufacturers surveyed in research by Mitsubishi were concerned about energy price security. Generating solar power reduces your business’s exposure to volatile energy prices, providing more certainty about ongoing costs.
Meet more stringent ESG requirements
70% of manufacturers say they’re asked to report on carbon emissions as part of tendering requirements. Commercial solar panel installations bring down Scope 1 and 2 emissions, making your business a more appealing supply chain partner.

“We have every aspect of the roof that could be covered in panels, covered. The solar energy will help us offset rising energy costs, but will also generate huge environmental savings, further reducing our CO2 emissions, and allowing fabricators to benefit from the saving.”Darren Woodcock, Operations Director Deceuninck
