Dundee, Tayside
Commercial solar in Dundee
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Dundee businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Dundee has reinvented itself around life sciences, video games and digital design, while retaining publishing, manufacturing and activity on the Tay. Labs, studios and production units draw power through the day, making on-site solar a good fit, and a PPA covers the full cost of installation.
Dundee’s old trades of jute and publishing have been joined by a life sciences sector centred on the University of Dundee’s biomedical research, a well-known cluster of video games and digital studios, and a design economy given a landmark in the V&A on the waterfront. Research laboratories, software studios and the manufacturing and port operations along the Tay all run steady daytime electricity loads. Buildings of this kind, from campuses to industrial units, tend to have the roof area a solar system needs.
PPA Funding introduces Dundee businesses to funded solar and battery storage. Under a Power Purchase Agreement the funder pays for, installs and maintains the system, so there is no capital outlay, and you buy its electricity at a fixed rate at least 30% below grid prices. After about 20 years the equipment becomes yours for £1. Firms that prefer to own from day one can use hire purchase, leasing or outright purchase instead.

Questions
Commercial solar in Dundee — FAQs
Is solar suitable for a research lab with high, precise energy needs?
Laboratories often run equipment, cooling and ventilation continuously, so a large share of daytime solar output is used on site. Solar reduces the volume of grid electricity bought rather than changing how the lab operates, and battery storage can support loads outside daylight hours.
Do you cover Angus, Fife and the wider Tayside area?
Yes. We work with businesses across Dundee, Angus, north-east Fife and the wider Tayside area, including estates on the city’s western and northern edges.
