Solar for Metals & Fabrication
Offset the loads that drive your energy bill.
Welding, machining and finishing equipment draw significant power through working hours — daytime consumption that on-site solar is designed to serve.
Solar for your industry
We start from how your industry actually runs.
Fabrication and metals businesses run welding plant, machine tools, compressors, furnaces and finishing lines through the working day. High daytime consumption makes grid charges and unit rates a substantial, growing cost.
Roof-mounted systems over fabrication halls can offset the daytime baseload, with generation absorbed by plant and equipment across the working day.
Consistent daytime demand delivers high self-consumption and a strong commercial case, with installation phased around production.
Why go solar?
Six reasons it works for metals & fabrication.
Reduce electricity expenditure
Offset welding, machining, compression and finishing loads through working hours.
Improve long-term cost visibility
Predictable generation costs support pricing and planning.
Reduce carbon emissions
Cut emissions intensity for customer and industry requirements.
Use existing roof space
Fabrication hall roofs become generating assets.
Support tender requirements
Verified carbon reduction strengthens bids with larger customers.
Create long-term business value
A lower, more predictable cost base for the long term.
The three routes
Three ways to go solar.
Same system, three commercial routes. Choose no upfront cost, spread the investment, or own it outright — each option is explained on its service page.
