Breweries & distilleries
Commercial solar for breweries & distilleries
Breweries and distilleries carry significant, steady electrical loads — refrigeration, chilling, pumping and process control.
Breweries and distilleries carry significant, steady electrical loads — refrigeration, chilling, pumping and process control. Funded solar and battery storage cut those costs, support green branding, and need no upfront investment.
Brewing and distilling are energy-intensive. Fermentation and conditioning need constant refrigeration, and pumps, chillers and packaging lines draw power through the day — the kind of steady demand that makes solar self-consumption high.
Sustainability also sells in drinks. On-site solar is a visible, genuine green credential that resonates with customers and stockists, while a PPA delivers it with no capital outlay.
Why it fits
Why breweries & distilleries suit solar & battery
Refrigeration and chilling
Constant cooling for fermentation and storage means most of your solar is used on site.
A real green story
On-site renewables strengthen your brand with drinkers and retail buyers who value sustainability.
Protect margins
A fixed rate below the grid steadies a major production cost as you scale.
Fully managed
We handle design, funding, installation and maintenance while you focus on brewing.
Fund it your way
Zero upfront, or own it outright
Most breweries & distilleries choose a PPA for zero upfront cost and a fully managed system. If you would rather own the asset and claim the tax benefits, hire purchase or outright purchase (CapEx) may suit you better.
