How solar energy can transform food and beverage production
Take advantage of solar to cut energy & costs
From production lines to refrigeration and storage, food and beverage manufacturing is highly energy-intensive. Solar power provides a dependable on-site energy source that cuts costs and strengthens market resilience.
Backed by the Noble Foods Group’s heritage and over a decade of renewable energy expertise, Noble Green Energy delivers solar solutions built for the food and beverage industry.
Why UK food & beverage manufacturers are using solar panels for sustainability…
Cut energy costs
Solar PV can reduce your facility’s reliance on grid electricity by 30–50%, helping you take control of rising energy bills.
Lower carbon emissions
Generate clean power on site to support Scope 1 and 2 reduction goals and make your products more attractive to buyers focused on Scope 3 performance.
Maximise tax efficiency
Claim capital allowances to reduce taxable profits, speed up your payback, and reinvest in your food and beverage operation.
Green Energy for Food & Beverage companies
Reducing energy costs for food and beverage manufacturers
From bakeries to breweries to cold storage facilities, solar power delivers reliable on-site energy that cuts energy costs, strengthens resilience, and supports sustainability goals – with solutions tailored to your business and budget, and paybacks typically in 3–4 years.
Why solar works for food and beverage businesses
-
Lock in energy costs & reduce exposure to market volatility
-
Save on electricity costs with predictable 3-4 year payback on self-financed solutions
-
Flexible finance options including asset finance, hire purchase, 0 Capex (off balance sheet) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
-

-
Make the most of large unused roof or land space
Solar for berry growers
Berry production relies on consistent irrigation, cooling, and processing, all of which require significant energy. Installing solar panels on farm buildings or nearby land can offset this demand, helping to reduce costs, increase energy independence, and support sustainable farming practices.
Solar for produce suppliers
Produce suppliers face high energy needs for cooling, packing and distribution. Solar panels on roofs or unused land can cut electricity bills, generate clean power for operations, and create new income streams, helping to improve cost control and environmental credentials.
