What Commercial Solar Can Do For Your Business.
Cut Energy Costs
Solar panels let you generate your own clean electricity on-site. This will slash daytime grid usage and protect your business from price hikes. Many of our clients see savings of 50–70% on their electricity bills - from day one.
Get Fast ROI
Unlike many green upgrades, solar delivers a predictable, measurable return. Most systems pay for themselves within 3-5 years, with warranties lasting up to 25 years. That’s decades of free energy - and pure margin.
Boost Credentials
Installing solar signals sustainability, innovation, and long-term thinking. This will make your brand more attractive to customers, suppliers, and investors. It also adds value to your property and strengthens ESG scores for tenders and funding.
Build Resilience
Why stay at the mercy of rising utility bills? Solar gives you energy security. Pair your system with battery storage or EV charging to future-proof your operation.

Solar That Works Where You Work
Powering Smarter, Greener Businesses — Across Every Sector
Factory & Warehouses
Factories, warehouses, and industrial buildings boast ample roof space and high energy consumption. As a result, they are prime candidates for solar panel installation. Essex businesses have realised this, tapping into free, renewable solar energy. By doing so, they're reducing energy expenses by generating their own electricity on-site.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing plants are often the site of untapped solar opportunities. With extensive square footage available, commercial plants are ideal for solar installations. Generating your own solar energy can produce significant benefits for your business. It will also serve as an environmental initiative, boosting your business' reputation.
Farming & Agriculture
Farmers have long been adept at harnessing and leveraging solar energy. The practice has been a part of agriculture for millennia. Every facet of farming involves the sun, converting its energy to produce life.
Solar helps you to generate your own electricity, cut fuel costs, and generate revenue. A considerable number of farmers are reaping the benefits that this technology offers.
Education
Commercial solar installations for educational buildings provide a cost-effective energy supply. By installing solar panels on rooftops or unused land, reliance on the grid will be reduced. This will lower utility bills, freeing up funds for other priorities.
Beyond the economic benefits, solar installations offer educational opportunities. They allow students to see green energy up close. Therefore, the campus will transform into a prime example of sustainability.
Car Dealerships and Retail Space
An increasing number of car dealerships and retail spaces are choosing solar power. Energy is one of the largest expenses for retailers, with costs rising on a monthly basis. The price for solar PV systems has drastically declined in recent years. Therefore, it has never been more accessible for dealerships and retail spaces alike.
Offices
An increasing number of office buildings are installing solar panels on their rooftops. As energy prices rise, business owners are turning to solar to cut expenses and emissions. Plus, any excess power generated can be sent back to the grid, earning you tariff payments in return.
This Is What Good Energy Looks Like

Power Purchase Agreement PPA
Solar energy — with zero capital cost and guaranteed savings.
What is a PPA?
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contract between your business and a solar provider (like EPC). We'll install a solar PV system on your site at little to no upfront cost. In return, you agree to purchase the electricity it generates at a fixed, discounted rate. This is often far below your current utility prices. PPA contracts tend to be long-term deals.
EPC handles everything — design, permissions, installation, maintenance, and monitoring. You get clean, predictable energy without the financial or operational hassle of ownership. Most agreements range from 10-25 years. After this you can extend, remove, or purchase the system outright.
How On-Site Solar PPAs Work
PPAs are ideal for commercial and industrial properties with large, consistent energy usage. Think warehouses, factories, offices, or schools. There are two common formats:
Rooftop solar: Installed on available roof space (1m² per kW on average).
Ground-mounted solar: Installed on adjacent land (approx. 1.6 hectares per MW).
Sometimes, a private wire arrangement will allow connection to a nearby solar installation. This is more complex, however.
For a successful on-site PPA, your site should ideally:
Have steady electricity demand during daylight hours
Offer suitable roof or ground space
Have grid access and viable DNO connection
Be creditworthy to support long-term energy commitments
EPC also supports planning applications for installations over 1MW where required.
Benefits of a PPA with EPC
✔ No Capital Investment - We fund the system — you enjoy the savings from day one.
✔ Predictable Energy Costs. Lock in long-term electricity rates and avoid volatile wholesale pricing.
✔ Instant Savings. Reduce your bills immediately with a fixed solar tariff. This is typically lower than your current supplier.
✔ Minimal Risk. We manage the system’s performance, maintenance, and compliance throughout the agreement.
✔ Sustainable, Credible & Compliant. Support ESG goals, enhance your green credentials, and demonstrate commitment to Net Zero. All without needing CapEx.
End of Term — What Happens Next?
At the end of your PPA, you have three options:
Extend the agreement and continue buying low-cost solar power
Buy the system outright at fair market value
Request removal (though most clients choose to keep it)
Why Choose EPC?
We're not just installers — we're long-term energy partners. We've overseen more than 1,500 installations, and have full MCS & TrustMark accreditation. We also have deep experience managing complex commercial solar projects. We'll make the PPA process smooth, transparent, and financially smart.
