Washington, Tyne and Wear
Commercial solar in Washington
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Washington businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Washington is a Tyne and Wear new town with a strong automotive supply chain, manufacturing, engineering and large distribution operations across its many industrial estates. These plants and warehouses use power steadily through the day and have big roofs, so on-site solar suits them, and a PPA needs no upfront cost.
Washington was built as a new town and planned around industry, laid out in districts with their own industrial estates. Its economy leans heavily on manufacturing, engineering and the automotive supply chain that feeds the large car plant on the neighbouring Sunderland border, together with distribution and logistics operators using the town’s position beside the A1 and A19. Component factories and warehouses here run steady daytime electricity loads and have the wide roofs a commercial solar system needs.
PPA Funding introduces Washington businesses to funded solar and battery storage through a Power Purchase Agreement. There is nothing to pay at the start; the funder installs, owns and maintains the system, and you buy the electricity generated at a fixed rate guaranteed at least 30% below the grid. Ownership passes to you for £1 after roughly 20 years, and hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase are also offered.

Questions
Commercial solar in Washington — FAQs
As a supplier to a large manufacturer, can solar help meet customer sustainability requirements?
Many manufacturers now ask suppliers to report and reduce emissions. On-site solar cuts the carbon tied to your electricity use and gives you clear figures to share, while the fixed PPA rate also helps hold down energy costs, which matters in competitive supply contracts.
Do you cover Sunderland, Washington and the wider Wearside area?
Yes. We work with businesses across Washington, Sunderland, Houghton-le-Spring and the wider Wearside area, including the industrial estates off the A1(M) and A19.
