Our coverage
One person in Colwyn Bay, and a reach that goes further than you might expect
Bay Bright Solar is Dave Williams, based in Colwyn Bay. He was born and raised in North Wales, and six of our 11 funded projects are here. North Wales is where we are quickest, because grid approvals with SP Energy Networks take 2 to 3 weeks locally.
Dave also works in person across Mid Wales, Cheshire, the Wirral, Liverpool and Merseyside and Shropshire, and as far as the Midlands. Those are longer drives. We have no office outside Colwyn Bay, and we will not pretend otherwise.
The offer is the same everywhere: nothing up front, not even a deposit, and a price per kWh (the unit on your electricity bill) fixed for 15 years. What changes from place to place is the grid operator, the kinds of building and the questions people ask, which is why each area has its own page.

Commercial solar in ShropshireHow coverage differs
Same offer everywhere, a different journey in each place
Where your site is changes how we reach you and how long the grid check takes. It does not change what you pay for the power.
North Wales: our home patch
Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, Gwynedd and Anglesey. Dave was born here, and six of our 11 funded projects are in North Wales. Grid approvals with SP Energy Networks take 2 to 3 weeks locally.
Mid Wales, Cheshire, the Wirral, Merseyside and Shropshire: a longer drive
We travel from Colwyn Bay and cover these in person. There is no local office, and the grid timings can be longer. The offer and the proposal are the same.
Anywhere in Great Britain: through approved installers
Beyond the areas on this page, our funding partner has approved installers across Great Britain. Dave still manages the project. We do not cover Northern Ireland.
The same price logic everywhere
A PPA price is set from your usage data, not your postcode. It is 16p to 23p per kWh today, depending on the site (September 2026), and it is fixed for 15 years.
- System size (peak output)
- 50 kWp
- Power it makes each year
- 36,290 kWh
- Fixed price for 15 years
- 18p per kWh (was 37p)
- Saving in year one
- £4,739
- Saving over 15 years
- £131,796
The 15-year figure assumes grid prices rise 5% a year. Your proposal works out your own figures, never a promise.

Coverage questions
Where we work: what people ask us
Which areas do you cover?
We work in person across North Wales, Mid Wales, Cheshire, the Wirral, Liverpool and Merseyside and Shropshire, and as far as the Midlands. Each area above has its own page. Further afield, our funding partner's approved installers cover anywhere in Great Britain.
My site is outside these areas. Can you still help?
Probably, anywhere in Great Britain, through our funding partner's approved installers. We do not cover Northern Ireland. Send your postcode and a recent bill, and we tell you honestly what is possible.
Does the price change depending on where my site is?
Your rate comes from your site's usage data, not your postcode. Today it runs from 16p to 23p per kWh (kilowatt hour, the unit on your bill), fixed for 15 years (September 2026). What moves it is how and when you use power, and whether a battery is added.
Do you have an office near me?
We are based in Colwyn Bay and have no office outside it. Dave Williams is your one contact wherever you are, and he travels to you for the consultation if you want one in person. A video call works too.
Who is the grid operator in my area?
The grid operator is also called the DNO (distribution network operator). It runs the local power lines and must check that your system can connect. In North Wales it is SP Energy Networks, which also runs the network across Merseyside and most of Cheshire. In Mid Wales and Shropshire it can vary by site, and we find out when we apply.
Is it slower outside North Wales?
It can be. The job takes about five to six weeks in the SP Energy Networks area, and up to 12 weeks where the grid operator is slower. The grid application is the part that varies, not the fitting.
Do I need to be a Welsh business?
No. A PPA works the same for any business, farm or charity in Great Britain with a three-phase supply and room for at least 20 kW. Being in North Wales just means Dave is close, and local grid approvals take 2 to 3 weeks.
In their own words
Two North Wales customers, in their own words
“I was pretty sceptical initially because you never get anything for free in this life. But once Dave broke down the detail and explained to me how it would benefit Crest as an organisation, it became quickly to me a bit of a no-brainer.”
“It hasn't cost me a single penny to have it all installed.”
Not sure we reach you? Ask anyway
Send your postcode and a recent bill. We check your roof on a map and tell you quickly whether we can help. It costs nothing.
