Warehouses and distribution centres are ideal for commercial solar installations due to their large, unobstructed roof spaces and high daytime electricity consumption. With only 5% of UK warehouses currently utilizing solar power, there's enormous untapped potential.

A typical warehouse solar installation can generate 700-900 kWh per kWp annually in the UK, providing substantial energy cost savings. With electricity costs at 20-27p/kWh and solar generation costing just 4-6p/kWh, the financial case is compelling.

Key Benefits for Warehouses

Massive Roof Space Potential

Large, flat roofs ideal for solar with minimal shading issues, maximizing generation capacity

High Daytime Energy Use

Peak electricity consumption aligns perfectly with solar generation hours, maximizing self-consumption

Rapid ROI

3-4 year payback periods typical due to high consumption and excellent roof suitability

Improved EPC Rating

Enhanced energy performance certificates making properties more attractive to tenants
