Commercial solar in Loughborough
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Loughborough businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Loughborough combines a major university with a strong engineering base, from Brush’s electrical machines to precision manufacturing and the famous bell foundry. These sites and campuses run steady daytime loads. Funded commercial solar fits them, and a PPA gives Loughborough businesses a fixed rate at least 30% below the grid with no upfront cost.
Loughborough pairs one of the country’s leading universities with a deep engineering tradition, including Brush’s generators and traction equipment, precision manufacturers and the Taylor bell foundry. Campuses, factories and workshops across Charnwood use most of their power during the working day, which is when a rooftop or canopy solar array generates most.
PPA Funding introduces Loughborough businesses to funded commercial solar and battery storage through a power purchase agreement. You pay nothing upfront; the funder installs, owns and maintains the system, and you buy the electricity it generates at a fixed rate held at least 30% below grid prices. Hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase are available for organisations that prefer to own the system.

Questions
Commercial solar in Loughborough — FAQs
Can solar support carbon-reduction or net-zero reporting?

Do you cover Charnwood and the rest of Leicestershire?
