Commercial solar in Cambridge
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Cambridge businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Cambridge runs on power-hungry laboratories, data-heavy technology firms and research campuses that draw steady daytime electricity. That load profile matches on-site generation well, so a funded PPA lets these businesses fix a lower rate per kWh and add solar and battery storage with no upfront cost.
Cambridge is built around life sciences, software and research, from the biotech and pharmaceutical units on the edge-of-city science parks to the engineering and data firms clustered nearby. These sites run equipment, cleanrooms and servers through the working day, which means high, predictable daytime demand. Roof space on modern lab and office buildings is well suited to solar, and the electricity is used on site rather than exported.
PPA Funding introduces Cambridge businesses to funded commercial solar and battery storage. Under a Power Purchase Agreement you pay nothing upfront and buy the electricity your panels generate at a fixed rate guaranteed at least 30% below the grid. The system is designed, installed, maintained and monitored for you, and becomes yours for a nominal £1 at the end of the term. Hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase are also available.

Questions
Commercial solar in Cambridge — FAQs
Is solar worth it for lab and office buildings in Cambridge?
Yes. Laboratories and offices use most of their electricity during daylight hours, so a high share of what the panels generate is used on site, which is where a PPA delivers the biggest saving against grid rates.
Do you cover the wider Cambridgeshire area?
Yes. We work with businesses across Cambridgeshire, including Ely, Huntingdon, St Neots and Peterborough, as well as sites along the surrounding research and business parks.
