Basildon, Essex
Commercial solar in Basildon
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Basildon businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Basildon has a strong manufacturing and engineering base alongside logistics and distribution, part of the Thames Gateway growth area. Factories and warehouses run heavy daytime loads across large roofs. A PPA funds commercial solar and battery in full, cutting energy costs with no capital outlay.
Basildon grew as a manufacturing town and retains a substantial engineering and production base, with vehicle and machinery heritage, electronics and a wide spread of logistics and distribution operations across its industrial estates. These larger buildings tend to have the flat or shallow-pitched roofs and steady weekday electricity use that make on-site solar worthwhile.
PPA Funding introduces Basildon businesses to funded solar PV and battery storage. Under a power purchase agreement you pay nothing upfront and buy the electricity generated on your roof at a fixed rate at least 30% below grid prices, with the system maintained throughout and transferring to you for a nominal £1 at the end. Leasing, hire purchase and purchase are also available.
