Solar Panels in Shropshire — Grants, Commercial Solutions & How to Get Started
If your business in Shropshire is struggling with rising energy bills, now is the perfect time to explore commercial solar power. New funding programmes and local support schemes mean you could reduce your energy costs and lower your carbon footprint, with grant assistance or even fully funded solar systems that require no upfront cost.
At SMART CTRL Ltd, we specialise in helping businesses across Shropshire and the Midlands install reliable, cost-effective solar systems — with full support through grants and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
Why Shropshire Businesses Are Turning to Solar
Energy costs remain one of the biggest challenges for local businesses. By installing solar panels, companies can:
- Cut their daytime electricity bills by up to 70%
- Protect against future energy price increases
- Improve sustainability credentials
- Future-proof operations for EV charging and low-carbon targets
Solar is no longer just for large factories — commercial roofs, colleges, warehouses, and offices are all benefiting from clean, on-site power.
Grant Support & Local Funding
Businesses in the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Herefordshire areas may be eligible for support through two key programmes:
1. Marches Energy Programmes
The Marches Energy Grant helps local businesses improve energy efficiency and install renewable technologies, including solar PV. Funding levels can vary, and SMART CTRL can guide you through the eligibility and application process.
2. Business Energy Advice Service (BEAS)
BEAS offers free, impartial advice and potential grant support for energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects. It’s designed to help organisations reduce costs while cutting carbon emissions.
Both schemes have limited funding pots, so early applications are recommended.
Fully Funded Solar — No Upfront Cost
If your site uses significant electricity, a
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) could be the perfect option.
Under a PPA:
- We install and maintain the solar system at no cost to you
- You pay only for the clean electricity you use — at a preferential rate (typically 20–40% cheaper than your current tariff)
- After the agreement term (usually 15–20 years), you own the system outright
It’s a simple, low-risk way to benefit from solar immediately — with predictable, lower energy costs from day one.
