Solar PPA for warehouses and manufacturers
Warehouses, factories and depots use a lot of electricity, and they have large, flat roofs that suit solar panels. A solar PPA lets you put that roof to work with no capital spend.
Why industrial sites suit solar
- Big roofs: large, unshaded roof space can host a system from 20kW up to megawatt scale.
- Daytime demand: machinery, lighting, refrigeration and charging equipment run while the panels generate, so you use most of the power on site.
- Rising costs: electricity is one of the largest overheads for many industrial sites, and a fixed rate takes away much of the uncertainty.
How it works for your site
- 1
Share your energy data
Send 12 months of electricity bills, or a usage report from your supplier.
- 2
Receive your free proposal
We assess your roof and usage and set out the fixed rate you would pay.
- 3
We fund, install and maintain
Apex pays for the system and maintains it for the 15-year term.
You pay only for the electricity the system produces, at a rate fixed for 15 years and not linked to market prices. Many commercial customers typically save 20–40%, depending on usage and site.
Add battery storage and EV chargers
Under the same agreement we can also add:
- Battery storage to use more of your solar power outside daylight hours
- EV chargers for your fleet, staff and visitors, so your fuel bills can fall alongside your electricity bills
What we need to get started
Either 12 months of electricity bills, or a signed Letter of Authority so we can request your usage data from your supplier. There is no cost or obligation.
