Commercial solar in Wigan
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Wigan businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Wigan’s location on the M6 has made it a busy distribution and food-production base, with large warehouses and factories drawing steady daytime power. On-site solar suits that pattern. A PPA lets Wigan businesses buy their own generation at a fixed rate below the grid, with no upfront cost and maintenance included.
Wigan grew on coal and cotton and has since become one of the North West’s significant logistics and food-production locations, helped by its position on the M6 and close links to the wider Greater Manchester and Merseyside markets. Distribution centres, cold stores, food factories and manufacturers across the borough carry large roofs and run heavy daytime loads, with chillers, ovens, lines and lighting operating through the working day. That steady demand is well matched to rooftop solar, since most of the power is used on site.
PPA Funding introduces Wigan businesses to funded commercial solar PV and battery storage through a Power Purchase Agreement. There is no capital outlay: a funding partner installs, insures and maintains the system, and you buy the electricity it produces at a fixed rate guaranteed at least 30% below your grid price. The system is fully managed across roughly 20 years and then becomes yours for a nominal £1. Hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase are available for businesses that prefer to own from the outset.

Questions
Commercial solar in Wigan — FAQs
We run cold storage in Wigan with big refrigeration bills. Does solar help?
It can. Refrigeration runs hardest during warmer, sunnier daytime hours, which lines up well with solar output, so a good share of the generation offsets that load directly. Battery storage can extend the benefit into cooler and evening periods.
Do you cover the wider Greater Manchester area?
Yes. We work with businesses across Wigan and the wider Greater Manchester region, including Leigh, Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield and the industrial estates along the M6 corridor.
