Why warehouses are a strong fit for solar PPAs

UK warehouses present some of the best single-sector economics for commercial solar PPAs: large rectangular low-pitch roofs ideal for high panel density, structural specs designed for solar loading, and high daytime electricity demand from materials handling, lighting, and increasingly electric truck/forklift charging.

Modern warehouses (built 2000+) typically have suitable roof structure without modification. New-build distribution centres are usually solar-ready from design stage.

Large roof = MWp scale

Typical warehouse roof supports 1-5 MWp installation

Tenant-friendly

Landlord/tenant PPA structures well-trodden ground

EV truck infrastructure

Solar offsets growing electric HGV charging demand

Customer ESG demand

Amazon, Tesco, John Lewis etc. require supplier Scope 3 disclosures

Refrigeration uplift

Cold storage adds 30-50% demand intensity, lifting PPA value

£1 transfer at term end
