Commercial Solar Shepshed

Shepshed businesses operating across Gelders Hall Industrial Estate, Charnwood Edge Business Park and the broader commercial zones are cutting operational costs dramatically with commercial solar panels. With electricity rates having surged since 2021, solar delivers immediate savings and predictable energy costs for companies across the LE12 area.
