Why this site is well-suited to Solar PPA

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.
