Commercial Solar Power Purchase Agreement opportunity for warehouses in the NR21 postcode area. Site-specific irradiance and indicative economics.
The NR21 postcode area contains approximately 40 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.
EU JRC PVGIS modelling for the NR21 postcode area shows annual solar yield of 848 kWh per kWp installed per year — right at the UK average.
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
