Logistics & Haulage
Shepherd Distribution
A 108-panel solar array combined with a 62kW Sunsynk battery rack — our fastest-paying commercial project with a 2.9-year payback and 38.7% ROI.
The project
Background
Shepherd Distribution operates a large logistics and haulage operation with a significant and consistent energy demand across their depot. With energy costs rising steeply, they wanted a solution that would provide genuine, long-term relief.
The solution
Alliant Energy designed a combined solar and battery storage system — a 108-panel array paired with a 62kW Sunsynk battery rack. The battery stores energy generated during the day for use during peak-rate evening hours, maximising the financial return on every unit generated.
The results
The solar + battery combination delivers £22,389 in annual energy savings — our most impressive single-site result. With a payback period of just 2.9 years and a 38.7% return on investment, this project demonstrates the extraordinary potential of combined solar and battery systems for high-consumption businesses.
