Example Savings for warehousing.
A regional logistics company installed a 1 MW solar PV system on their warehouse roof, reducing annual energy costs by £120,000 and cutting carbon emissions by 400 tons per year.
The installation paid for itself in just six years, and the company has since expanded its solar capacity to further improve efficiency.

Solar Solutions for warehouses
Solar solutions for Warehouses offer a efficient energy strategy. Generally thanks to their vast roof spaces and high energy demands. Whether used for storage, distribution, or logistics, warehouses can benefit significantly from solar PV systems by reducing operating costs, increasing energy independence, and enhancing sustainability credentials. Solar energy offers long-term savings while supporting your business’s environmental goals.
Warehouses of all sizes can reap substantial financial and operational benefits by installing solar PV systems.
- Cost-Effective Energy Use: Large roof spaces make warehouses ideal for generating significant amounts of renewable energy, drastically reducing electricity costs.
- Energy Independence: On-site solar generation minimises reliance on the grid, providing greater resilience against rising energy prices.
- Sustainability Credentials: By reducing carbon emissions, solar systems help warehouses demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship, which can attract eco-conscious partners and clients.
- Enhanced Operational Resilience: Solar systems, when combined with battery storage, ensure business continuity during power outages by providing backup power.
What size solar system is suitable for a warehouse?
System size depends on the roof area and energy usage, but warehouses typically install systems ranging from 250 kW to 1 MW or more. We conduct a detailed site assessment to recommend the optimal size.
Will solar panels affect the structural integrity of my warehouse roof?
No, we conduct thorough structural surveys to ensure your roof can safely support the solar panels. If required, we recommend reinforcements before installation.
What are the ROI expectations for installing solar at distribution facilities?
ROI typically ranges between 3-7 years, depending on the scale of installation, energy savings, and available subsidies.
What financial benefits can I expect from solar for my warehouse?
Depending on system size, warehouses can save tens of thousands of pounds annually in energy costs, with ROI typically achieved within 5–7 years.
How do solar panels perform in winter months?
Solar panels are designed to work efficiently in various weather conditions, including cloudy days. While energy output may be lower in winter, warehouses still benefit from reduced energy costs year-round.
