46kWp solar installation at Billericay Town FC.
Three Phase Commercial Solar is delivering a 46kWp commercial solar PV system at New Lodge, home of Billericay Town Football Club, with the project funded through a Solar PPA provided by HDM Energies.
Real installation progress from New Lodge.
The case study uses project photography from the Billericay Town FC installation rather than campaign artwork, showing the rooftop array and electrical infrastructure involved in the system.

The project supports a working football ground with community use, matchday operations and ongoing site energy demand.
A community sports venue with real energy demand
Football clubs and leisure sites need practical energy planning because electricity use can vary across training, matchdays, hospitality, lighting and day-to-day operations.
Billericay Town FC
The commercial solar installation is helping support a more sustainable future for the club.
Operational site planning
Solar projects at sports venues need to consider access, roof areas, electrical infrastructure and day-to-day site use.
Project Overview
Commercial solar for a community football club.
Billericay Town FC is investing in a cleaner and more resilient energy future at New Lodge. The 46kWp commercial solar PV installation is designed to help the club reduce reliance on imported electricity, support lower operating costs and make practical progress on carbon reduction.
For community sports clubs, energy use can be difficult to plan around. Match days, training sessions, hospitality, lighting, changing facilities and day-to-day site operations all place pressure on electricity costs. A well-planned commercial solar system can help reduce that pressure by generating renewable electricity on site.
The challenge
The club needed a route that made commercial sense, not simply a panel layout. The project had to consider site suitability, the expected usage profile, long-term energy costs and the need to protect cash flow. For many sports organisations, tying up capital in infrastructure can be difficult, even when the long-term case for solar is strong.
The solution
3Phase is delivering a 46kWp commercial solar PV system at New Lodge. The installation is being delivered in partnership with Eco Edge, combining project delivery capability with practical renewable energy expertise.
The system is intended to generate clean electricity for the site, reduce imported grid energy and support the club with a more sustainable operating model both on and off the pitch.
Solar PPA funding by HDM Energies
The project is being funded through a Power Purchase Agreement provided by HDM Energies. This route allows a qualifying site to benefit from commercial solar without the same upfront capital requirement as a traditional purchase.
A Solar PPA can be useful for organisations that want to reduce energy costs, preserve working capital and still move forward with renewable energy infrastructure. The right route depends on site suitability, electricity usage and the commercial terms available.
Why this project matters
This project shows how commercial solar can work for more than warehouses, factories and office buildings. Sports clubs, leisure sites and community venues also face rising energy costs and can benefit from clear solar modelling, practical funding advice and the right delivery partners.
What other organisations can learn.
The strongest solar projects start with the business case, the site and the funding route.
Model the usage first
Commercial solar should be reviewed against site demand, operating hours and long-term energy plans.
Protect cash flow
A Solar PPA can help suitable organisations move forward without purchasing the system outright.
Plan the delivery route
Clear roles between funder, installer and project lead help keep commercial energy projects practical.
