Manufacturers face thin margins. Electricity is often the #2 cost after raw materials. Solar resets this equation.

The ICPT Factor

Industrial tariffs are subject to the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) surcharge. In 2024/25, this added significantly to bills. Solar provides a fixed-cost hedge against these fluctuations for 25 years.

Solar ATAP for Commercial Users

For commercial users, Solar ATAP allows you to: 1. Consume solar power first. 2. Export excess to offset bills at the Average System Marginal Price (SMP). 3. Systems capped at 1 MW for non-domestic consumers.

Zero CapEx Options (PPA)

Don't want to use cashflow? Trexon offers Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) where we build the system for free, and you just pay a lower tariff rate for the solar power generated. See our factory solar solutions for detailed sizing guides, or browse our commercial solar solutions if you operate a warehouse, office, or retail premises.
