York, North Yorkshire
Commercial solar in York
Funded solar PV and battery storage for York businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
York blends heritage tourism with a long rail industry, confectionery manufacturing, bioscience and professional services. Hotels, factories and offices here carry steady daytime electricity demand that on-site solar can offset. A funded PPA lets York businesses fix a lower rate per kWh with no capital outlay.
York’s economy spans tourism, rail, food manufacturing and a growing bioscience and professional-services sector. The city is a historic railway centre and home to long-established confectionery production, while its hotels, visitor attractions and offices run through long opening hours. Larger commercial and industrial roofs across York can host solar that supplies power directly to the building during the day.
PPA Funding introduces York businesses to funded commercial solar and battery storage. With a Power Purchase Agreement there is nothing to pay upfront: electricity is charged at a fixed rate guaranteed at least 30% below grid prices, and the system is designed, installed, maintained and monitored on your behalf. Ownership passes to you for £1 at the end of the term, with hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase also available.

Questions
Commercial solar in York — FAQs
We run a hotel. Does solar work for a hospitality site?
Yes. Hotels use power steadily for lighting, kitchens, laundry and heating or cooling, much of it during daylight, so a good share of solar generation is used on site. Battery storage can carry more of it into the evening.
Will panels be an issue on a listed or historic building in York?
They can be, so we assess each site individually. Solar often goes on modern or lower-visibility roofs, outbuildings or nearby industrial units instead; where a building is listed or in a conservation area we factor in the planning position first.
