Manufacturing facilities
we’ve helped
The manufacturing facilities we’ve helped all had one thing in common: rising electricity costs eating into margins. By designing solar PV systems around their real load profiles, we’ve helped them cut daytime grid usage, stabilise part of their energy spend and keep more money in the business.

Our Warehouse Solar PV install process
Site survey and structural checks
We carry out a detailed site survey of your manufacturing facility, reviewing roofs, plant rooms and yard layouts. Using plans and satellite imagery, we assess shading, roof condition and access, and consider any rooftop plant or vents. We’ll also take measurements so we have everything we need to build an accurate factory-specific demo.
Design and yield modelling
We design your solar PV system around your actual production load profile. Using your half-hourly data, we model how the system would perform on your manufacturing site, including indicative payback period, expected annual generation and how much daytime grid demand it could offset.
Installation with minimal disruption to operations
Once you’re happy with the design, we agree an installation schedule that fits around your shifts and critical processes. Work is planned to minimise downtime, with key electrical connections carried out at agreed times so your lines can keep running safely while the system is installed.
Monitoring, maintenance, performance checks
After commissioning, you’ll have access to online monitoring so you can see how your factory’s solar PV system is performing in real time. We’ll discuss maintenance options and provide regular performance checks, helping ensure the system continues to support your production and energy targets over the long term.
We'll Gather Your
Qualifying Solar Spend & Dates
We’ll prepare a detailed breakdown of every solar asset you’ve acquired—panels, inverters, batteries, mounting gear—along with each item’s contract date or payment‑due date, so you know exactly what qualifies under AIA.
01.
Calculating
Your AIA Claim
Ensure your total qualifying expenditure stays within the prorated £1 million cap for the accounting period. Any spend above the limit should be split into writing-down allowances, and only the business proportion of partly business-related items should be claimed.
02.
Include Your AIA
Figures in Your Tax Return
On your annual company tax return (CT600) or self‑assessment (SA100) enter your total qualifying expenditure within the prorated £1 million cap for the accounting period. Any spend above the limit should be split into writing-down allowances, and only the business proportion of partly business-related items should be claimed.
