EU JRC PVGIS modelling for BL3 1BA shows annual solar yield of 756 kWh per kWp per year — -13% below the UK average.
Manufacturing facilities typically have 5,000-50,000 m² of suitable roof space supporting 500kWp to 5MWp+ installations. High daytime electricity demand from production aligns with solar generation. Stable shift patterns and predictable demand let funders price the PPA confidently.
For ESG-focused supply chains (FMCG, retail, food), solar PPAs provide audit-ready Scope 2 reductions superior to "100% renewable tariff" purchases.
No capital diversion from production line
20-40% below grid for 10-25 year term
Annual servicing, monitoring, insurance, repairs
Around production shifts, no operational disruption
Audit-grade renewable generation for supply chain customers
Asset transfers to operator for free electricity afterwards
