How much does commercial solar cost in Middlesbrough?

Is solar a fit for chemicals and process industry sites?
Yes - chemicals and process sites have heavy continuous daytime electrical demand which is the ideal profile for on-site solar. We size systems to match electrical baseload rather than thermal load.
Do you cover Teesworks freeport sites?
Yes - Teesworks and its emerging tenant base (including SeAH, BP, bp Net Zero Teesside) are within standard service area. Freeport tax and customs benefits stack with the AIA and PPA structures we typically use.
Do Tees Valley businesses need planning permission for rooftop solar?
Most commercial rooftop solar is permitted development. Listed buildings, COMAH sites and arrays above 1 MW typically need planning consent. COMAH sites require additional fire-safety engineering on rooftop arrays.
