Commercial Solar Power Purchase Agreement opportunity for warehouses in the B6 postcode area. Site-specific irradiance and indicative economics.
The B6 postcode area contains approximately 88 commercial warehouses in public registers (CQC, NDEPC, OS / Companies House data). UK Solar Fund funds and operates commercial Solar PPAs for warehouses across this region — zero upfront capital, 20-40% off grid electricity, full O&M included for 10-25 years.
Warehouses present some of the strongest economics for commercial solar PPAs in the UK — large simple roofs, high daytime demand, and growing electrification of materials handling and HGV charging.
Warehouse solar systems typically range 300 kWp for small distribution to 6+ MWp for hyperscale fulfilment centres. Modern warehouse roofs are typically solar-ready.
| Site profile | Typical kWp | Estimated saving |
|---|---|---|
| Small warehouse (3,000-7,000 m²) | 300-700 kWp | £42,000-£95,000 / yr saving |
| Mid-size DC (10,000-25,000 m²) | 1-3 MWp | £140,000-£420,000 / yr saving |
| Large DC (25,000+ m²) | 3-6 MWp | £420,000-£840,000 / yr saving |
Warehouses typically have the right profile for a Solar PPA — large available roof or land area, daytime electricity demand, and an operating model that benefits from cost reduction without capital lock-up.
Rectangular low-pitch roofs ideal for high panel density
Modern industrial specs accommodate solar without modification
Solar offsets growing electric HGV charging demand
Landlord/tenant PPA structures well-trodden
Amazon, Tesco, John Lewis require supplier Scope 3 reductions
30-50% extra demand intensity = larger savings
