Solar for fabrication, by workshop type
A powder-coating line, a CNC machining shop and a structural-steel fabricator draw power very differently, so they need different solar. We size from your loads and shift patterns rather than swapping a noun on a template. Pick your workshop type for typical loads, sizing and payback.
Metal Fabrication Workshops
Typical 60-250 kW, 5-year payback. £45,000-£185,000.

Run a mixed workshop, or a heavy powder-coating or laser load? We size from your half-hourly meter data rather than a template. See real prices on the cost guide, the capital-allowance and funding routes on the grants and funding page, or get an indicative figure with the savings calculator.
