What Midlands Manufacturers Say
"We're a family engineering business in Wolverhampton. 150kW on the factory roof. I was sceptical about the ROI projections but year one delivered exactly what the energy assessment predicted — £28,400 in savings. The installation was fast, professional, and completely disruption-free."
Dave P.
Managing Director, West Midlands Engineering Firm
150kW — £28,400 year-1 savings — 4.1 year payback
"600kW on our Staffordshire food factory. We had three quotes — this team's assessment was the most technically detailed and the price was competitive. The ESOS compliance angle was something the others hadn't mentioned. Solar now covers 67% of our daytime production load."
