Services We Offer
Commercial Solar for Oldham Businesses
Oldham's industrial heritage means plenty of factories, warehouses, and commercial units with big roofs and high electricity bills — perfect candidates for commercial solar. We're based nearby in Prestwich, just 13 minutes away, and serve Oldham businesses with MCS-certified installations that deliver genuine savings.
Commercial properties benefit more from solar than domestic ones because businesses use electricity during the day when generation peaks. You're consuming nearly every kilowatt-hour your panels produce, which shortens payback periods to typically 3-4 years.
Oldham businesses that see the best returns
Factories and manufacturing — Oldham still has numerous industrial units running heavy machinery. High electricity consumption means faster payback. A business spending £1,000+ monthly on electricity can see transformative savings.
Warehouses and distribution — Large flat roofs are ideal for solar. The M60 corridor through Hollinwood and Chadderton has plenty of commercial properties with excellent roof space.
Retail and hospitality — Shops, restaurants, takeaways running fryers and commercial kitchens all day see strong returns. Daytime consumption aligns perfectly with solar generation.
Cold storage — Any business running refrigeration or freezers continuously is spending heavily on electricity and will see rapid payback.
Old mill buildings — Oldham's converted mills often have large, unobstructed roof areas. Whether the roof is flat or pitched, we can design systems that work with the building's characteristics.
Flat and pitched roofs both work
Flat roofs give us flexibility — we mount panels at the optimal angle regardless of building orientation. Pitched roofs on factories, warehouses, and larger commercial buildings offer excellent potential too. We provide multiple design options with detailed financial analysis for each approach.
If you have spare land or parking areas, ground-mounted solar supplements rooftop installations or powers EV charging points for staff vehicles — a valuable employee benefit at zero ongoing electricity cost.
Oldham Council supports business sustainability
Oldham declared a Climate Emergency in 2019 and became the UK's first "Green New Deal Council." The council has actively invested in solar through Oldham Community Power and secured £20m in Levelling Up funding for green initiatives. Installing commercial solar aligns your business with the borough's direction of travel.
Our approach
You must own the building (not leased), have sufficient roof space or land, and ideally high electricity consumption for best returns. We assess your property and usage, then create detailed designs showing energy generation, cost savings, and payback period based on your actual consumption patterns.
As an MCS-certified installer and Octopus Energy Trusted Partner, we handle all grid connection requirements and electrical certifications. If the numbers don't work, we'll tell you.

Solar installation
We were looking for an off grid solar installation for our allotment. Renegade gave us a very good quote for the job and so we chose them. This turned out to be a great decision. Ashley did a site inspection and we tweaked the initial design to better suit our location. The installation went ahead on the planned date and the work was completed to a very high standard. We had some additional work carried out at the same time, some due to Ashleys recommendation (e.g. swapping our lighting for LED). I highly recommend Renegade as a trustworthy and competent company.
Renegade Electrical Ltd are brilliant!
Renegade Electrical Ltd have been great. They replaced my electric fuse box really quickly and for a really reasonable price too. Would highly recommend 👌
Renegade Electricals - Exceptional service!
In a word...outstanding! Renegade Electricals installed a 10 panel PV system with battery/inverter for us and we're extremely happy with it. Ashley was easy to deal with, reassuring and very professional providing full documentation and keeping us informed throughout the process. His customer service was exceptional and technical knowledge formidable. The panels, even in winter in the grim/grey north west, are producing impressive stats and its great entertainment watching the Alpha-ESS app showing the panels filling the battery up during the day, then discharging in the evening. RECOMMENDED!

Solar panel replacement
Ashley did an amazing job for us upgrading our solar panels after 3 had failed. Turned up on time and worked so hard putting right the botch job we had previously. Over the moon with the savings I have already made producing more power and reducing daily usage would highly recommend.
