Solar panels for manufacturers, by sector
Every kind of manufacturer has a different electrical load profile, and the load profile drives the solar economics. We size and model each of these sectors from your own half-hourly meter data, not a rule of thumb. Pick the closest match to see typical sizing, cost and payback.
In short
Payback for a UK manufacturer typically lands at 5 to 7 years with an IRR of 12 to 22 percent, but the exact number depends on your load profile and how much you self-consume — from 30 to 60 percent on a single shift up to 70 to 90 percent on continuous plant. Pick your sector below, or send us 12 months of half-hourly meter data for a modelled figure in 7 working days.
