Turn a big industrial roof into your cheapest energy.

Warehouses and industrial units have exactly what solar loves: large, unshaded roofs and heavy daytime demand. That combination often delivers the fastest payback of any sector.

Why it works

Built for high daytime demand

The more power you use while the sun is up, the more of your own generation you consume directly — and the faster the system pays for itself.

Roof area

Scale on tap

Expansive, largely unshaded roofs allow big arrays — from tens to hundreds of kWp — without planning headaches on most sites.

Load match

Use it as you make it

Machinery, refrigeration, lighting and charging run through the day, so most generation is self-consumed at full value.

Resilience

Battery & backup

Add storage to shift solar into peak-price periods, cut demand charges, and keep critical loads running if the grid dips.

The process

From roof survey to switch-on

01

Energy assessment

We analyse your bills, load profile, roof and grid connection.

02

Design & funding

A system sized to your demand, with CapEx, finance or PPA options and any grants.

03

Install

Our own MCS teams fit it around your operations, with minimal disruption.

04

Monitor & maintain

Performance monitoring and O&M to protect your investment for the long term.

Warehousing solar FAQs

Large industrial roofs often suit systems from tens of kWp up to several hundred kWp. The limit is usually roof area, structure and your grid connection rather than demand — we assess all three at survey.

Rarely. The bulk of the work happens on the roof, so day-to-day operations usually continue underneath. We plan around your shifts and any access or safety requirements.

Surplus can be stored in a battery for later, or exported to the grid for income under the Smart Export Guarantee. For most warehouses, high daytime demand means you self-consume a large share directly.

Yes — warehousing and industrial sites are a strong fit for a Power Purchase Agreement, as well as asset finance or outright purchase. See our funding guide for the trade-offs.
