Commercial solar in Gateshead
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Gateshead businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Gateshead is home to the Team Valley Trading Estate, one of the UK’s largest, and to manufacturing, engineering, distribution and offices. These businesses use power steadily through the working day and sit under large industrial roofs, so on-site solar is a strong fit, funded by a PPA with no upfront cost.
Gateshead’s working economy centres on the Team Valley Trading Estate, one of the largest industrial estates in the country, where hundreds of manufacturers, engineering firms, distributors and service businesses operate side by side. The town also holds offices, retail and a cultural quarter on the Tyne. The manufacturing and distribution units in particular draw steady power through the day and have the wide, flat roofs that a commercial solar system is designed for.
PPA Funding introduces Gateshead businesses to funded solar and battery storage. A Power Purchase Agreement carries no upfront cost: the funder installs, owns and maintains the system, and you pay a fixed rate for the electricity it generates, held at least 30% below the grid. After around 20 years ownership transfers to you for £1, and hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase are available too.

Questions
Commercial solar in Gateshead — FAQs
Can several units on the Team Valley estate be handled together?
Yes. Where a business runs more than one building, or where neighbouring firms want to look at solar at the same time, each roof is assessed on its own merits and a Power Purchase Agreement can be set up per site. Larger combined projects can improve the rate offered.
Do you cover Newcastle and the wider Tyneside area?
Yes. We work with businesses across Gateshead, Newcastle, the Team Valley and the wider Tyneside area, including estates along the A1 and A184.
