OVERVIEW OF SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES FOR FACTORIES
There are a remarkable number of financial and environmental benefits for modern factories to adopt solar technologies within its operation – ranging from simply adding a new solar farm or integrating solar lighting systems or replacing traditional roof coverings with BIPV solar roof tiles. The ultimate goal is to create a full energy independency.
Financial Benefits
- Lower Operating Costs: Solar panels significantly reduce electricity bills by offsetting grid consumption.
- Stable Energy Pricing: Long-term solar contracts protect against energy price volatility.
- Fast Payback Period: Most systems pay for themselves within 3–7 years, with minimal maintenance.
- Tax Incentives & Grants: Many governments offer financial support, improving ROI.
- Asset Value Boost: Solar installations can increase facility value and appeal to sustainability-focused partners.
Environmental Benefits
- Carbon Footprint Reduction: A 100kW solar system can prevent around 45 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually
- ESG Reporting: Solar adoption supports corporate sustainability goals and enhances Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics
- Supply Chain Compliance: Many manufacturers face pressure from partners to meet renewable energy targets—solar helps meet those demands
Energy Independence & Security
- Protection Against Price Spikes: Solar reduces reliance on the grid, insulating factories from global energy market disruptions
- Energy Storage Integration: Pairing solar with batteries provides backup power and improves energy management
Solar integrations can transform new and existing manufacturing sites into fully sustainable, future‑ready infrastructures

BIPV Solar Cladding
Factories can be cladded with BIPV materials, instead of traditional glass – achieving highly efficient solar collection as well as meeting architectural aesthetic
Solar BIPV Roof Integration
Factories can adopt solar BIPV roofing technology to collect solar power, as well as providing aesthetically attractive architectural cladding, fully integrated with building roof infrastructure
BESS Integration
BESS can deliver power storage as little as 100kWh to as high as 3000kWh, allowing factories to fully and smartly manages its energy storage and redistribution
