Cut industrial power costs at scale
Factories and manufacturing units run high, continuous loads — which means industrial solar can offset a meaningful share of your electricity spend, and often your diesel backup costs too.
Industrial facilities typically have large rooftops and consistent daytime power draw, making them well suited to sizeable rooftop or ground-mounted solar installations, including captive power arrangements.
We work with your facilities and electrical teams to understand your load curve, sanctioned load, and any group captive or open access requirements, before proposing a system.
For industrial projects, engineering and procurement decisions have real financial consequences — our CA-led approach means quotations, depreciation impact and payback timelines are worked out with the rigor an industrial buyer expects.
Industrial solar is worth evaluating if…
- Your facility has a large, mostly unshaded rooftop or open land
- Your monthly electricity spend is a significant operating cost
- You run high daytime loads — motors, compressors, HVAC, production lines
- You currently rely on diesel generators for part of your backup power
- You're evaluating captive power or open access for a lower blended tariff
Large-scale cost reduction
Offset a substantial share of continuous industrial power draw.
Captive power options
We help evaluate group captive and open access structures where applicable.
Engineering-led design
Structural, electrical and safety engineering appropriate for industrial-scale installations.
Reduced diesel dependency
Lower reliance on diesel gensets for daytime backup power.
Long-term tariff protection
Insulate a large chunk of your energy cost base from grid tariff escalation.
Sustainability reporting
Support ESG and sustainability disclosures increasingly expected by clients and lenders.
Indicative industrial system scale
Industrial systems are highly site-specific — the ranges below are indicative starting points for discussion.
| System Size | Suitable For | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 100 kW | Small manufacturing units | [PLACEHOLDER] |
| 250 kW | Mid-sized factories | [PLACEHOLDER] |
| 500 kW – 1 MW | Large manufacturing facilities | [PLACEHOLDER] |
| 1 MW+ | Multi-unit industrial parks, captive power setups | [PLACEHOLDER] |
Industrial solar — frequently asked questions
For most facilities, rooftop solar offsets a portion of daytime load rather than the entire requirement, since industrial demand is often higher than available roof capacity can supply. We size the system to maximise offset within your space constraints.
Captive power arrangements let a group of consumers jointly own generation capacity to consume power at a lower effective cost. Whether this is worthwhile depends on your load size and location — we can help you assess it.
Our engineering team coordinates with your facility's electrical team on synchronisation, protection systems and compliance with relevant electrical safety codes before commissioning.
Yes — solar and diesel backup typically work as complementary systems, with solar handling daytime base load and generators remaining available for outages or peak demand.
Industrial systems benefit from a structured Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) covering panel cleaning, electrical checks and performance monitoring, given the scale and criticality of the installation.
