Harlow, Essex
Commercial solar in Harlow
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Harlow businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Harlow is a manufacturing and science town with strengths in pharmaceuticals, electronics and logistics, served by large industrial estates near the M11. These sites run heavy daytime loads under wide roofs, and a PPA funds on-site solar so businesses pay a fixed rate at least 30% below the grid with nothing upfront.
Harlow was built as a New Town with industry at its core, and it retains a strong base in pharmaceuticals, electronics, optics and advanced manufacturing, along with the distribution and logistics operations drawn by its position on the M11 corridor. Laboratories, production plant and warehousing all pull significant power during working hours, and the estates around the town offer the large, unshaded roofs that make solar generation efficient.
PPA Funding introduces Harlow businesses to funded solar PV and battery storage under a Power Purchase Agreement. There is no capital outlay: the funder designs, installs, insures and maintains the system, and the business buys the electricity it generates at a fixed rate at least 30% below grid prices. Hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase are available for firms that would rather own from day one.

Questions
Commercial solar in Harlow — FAQs
How is the fixed PPA rate set, and can it really stay below the grid?
The rate is agreed at the start of the contract and is set at least 30% below the grid price for your site, then held fixed for the term. Because it is not exposed to wholesale energy swings, the gap against grid prices tends to widen when the market rises, which is where much of the saving comes from.
Do you cover the wider west Essex area?
Yes. We work with businesses in Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford, Epping, Waltham Abbey and the surrounding west Essex and M11 area, matching funded solar and battery to sites with suitable roof space.
