PMD helps local cricket club cut energy bills with solar funding

A local cricket club wanted to cut its energy bills and keep more money in the club. By investing in solar panels, it could reduce its average monthly electricity costs from £712 to just £69.

That’s a potential saving of £650 every month, giving the club more room to invest in its facilities rather than rising energy costs. For businesses that rely on busy summer seasons, savings like these can go a long way.

Jake O’Byrne, Business Development Director, visited the club to understand how it operates, when money comes in, and the challenges that come with being a seasonal organisation.

With that insight, we structured repayments to work throughout the year, not just during the busy months. That gave the club the confidence to invest in solar panels, knowing the repayments would remain affordable even when activity slowed down.

Jake arranged a £31,968 funding facility over 72 months, with repayments designed to fit around what the club was already paying for energy.

That meant they could invest in solar panels without putting extra strain on cashflow. In fact, their monthly costs fell by about £100 straight away.
