Commercial solar in Salford
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Salford businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Salford pairs a fast-growing media and digital economy at MediaCityUK with older manufacturing and a corridor of warehousing along the Ship Canal. Offices, studios and distribution sheds all draw heavy daytime power, so rooftop solar offsets a large share of it, funded through a PPA with no upfront cost.
Salford has changed a great deal, from the docks that once lined the Manchester Ship Canal to the media and digital businesses now based at MediaCityUK and Salford Quays. Alongside that sit manufacturing units and a spread of logistics and warehousing along the canal corridor. Data-heavy offices, studios and distribution buildings all use significant electricity during the working day.
PPA Funding introduces Salford businesses to funded commercial solar and battery storage through a Power Purchase Agreement. The system is installed at no cost to you and fully managed, and you buy the power it generates at a fixed rate set well below grid prices. After around 20 years ownership passes to you for a nominal £1, and hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase are available if they suit you better.

Questions
Commercial solar in Salford — FAQs
Can office and studio buildings benefit, not just factories?
Yes. Any site with a decent roof and steady daytime demand is a candidate. Offices, studios and mixed-use buildings around Salford Quays often have flat roofs that suit solar well, and battery storage can shift generation to cover evening use.
Do you cover Salford and the rest of Greater Manchester?
Yes. We work with businesses across Salford, Trafford, Manchester and the wider city region, as well as nationwide from Shrewsbury. Each site gets its own survey and system design.
