Solar PV for Manufacturing & Industrial UK
Large-scale commercial solar PV for manufacturers, industrial facilities, distribution centres and cold storage operators. Systems from 50kWp to multi-MW, installed nationwide.
Manufacturing and industrial sites have two major advantages for solar PV: large roof areas and high, consistent daytime energy consumption. Novalux Solar specialises in large-scale commercial solar installations for industrial clients — from sub-500kWp factory rooftops to multi-MW projects with full grid connection management.

Why industrial and manufacturing businesses choose Novalux Solar
Large-scale system capability
Novalux Solar has the engineering, project management and installation capacity to deliver systems from 50kWp to multi-MW. We have completed or are currently delivering projects at 1.25MW, with pipeline projects including a 4.3MW installation for a major food manufacturer. Our team manages all aspects — from structural surveys and detailed design to DNO applications, grid protection and commissioning.
Minimal production downtime
Industrial clients cannot afford production stoppages. Novalux Solar’s project managers coordinate all roof access, cable runs and switchgear works to minimise impact on operations — typically completing installation out of hours or in planned maintenance windows.
Battery storage and BESS integration
Manufacturing sites with high demand charges or time-of-use tariff exposure benefit significantly from pairing solar with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Novalux Solar has delivered combined solar and battery projects at commercial scale, including the LWC Drinks Liverpool installation (210kWp + 258kWh) and White Barn (417kWp + 500kW/600kWh BESS).
Tender and procurement experience
Novalux Solar has successfully completed formal tender processes for PLCs and large corporations including ABF Group. We are experienced in producing the detailed technical, commercial and H&S documentation required by major procurement teams.
Grid connection management: Large industrial solar installations frequently require G99 applications, protection relay upgrades and in some cases substation works. Novalux Solar manages all DNO interaction on your behalf, with a track record of securing grid connections for systems up to MW scale.
