Dedicated to Powering UK Warehouses with Solar Energy
Since 2008, we have focused exclusively on solar installations for the warehouse and logistics sector. This specialisation means we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that warehouses present, from structural loading on portal frame roofs to maximising self-consumption in 24/7 distribution operations.
Our Story
WarehouseSolar UK was founded in 2008 by a team of electrical engineers who recognised that the UK's vast warehouse estate represented an enormous untapped resource for solar energy. While residential solar was gaining momentum, the commercial warehouse sector was being underserved by generalist installers who lacked the specific expertise needed for large-scale industrial rooftop projects.
Our early projects proved the concept: warehouses, with their expansive flat roofs, high energy consumption, and predictable operating patterns, are among the most economically attractive buildings for solar in the entire commercial property sector. The financial returns consistently exceeded projections, and word spread quickly through the logistics and warehousing community.
Today, with over 500 installations completed across the UK and more than 150MW of installed capacity, we are the recognised specialists in warehouse solar. Our team of 85 professionals includes structural engineers, electrical designers, project managers, and installation teams who work exclusively on commercial and industrial solar projects.
We serve every type of warehouse facility: ambient storage, cold chain, distribution centres, multi-tenant industrial estates, logistics hubs, and manufacturing warehouses. Our projects range from 50kW systems on small industrial units to 1MW+ installations on major distribution centres.
Why Choose a Warehouse Specialist?
Warehouse solar is not the same as residential or general commercial solar. Our sector focus means better results.
Structural Expertise
We understand portal frame structures, composite panels, standing seam roofs, and profiled metal cladding. Our in-house structural assessment capability means faster project delivery and fewer surprises.
DNO Relationships
Large warehouse systems often require G99 applications and grid upgrades. Our established relationships with every UK DNO accelerate the connection process and identify potential issues early.
Minimal Disruption
Warehouse operations cannot stop for solar installation. Our methods are specifically designed to install above active warehouse operations without requiring shutdowns or restricted zones.
Finance Expertise
We work with multiple PPA providers, asset finance lenders, and institutional investors to find the right funding structure for your project, whether that is zero-cost PPA or outright purchase.
Sector Knowledge
We understand cold chain, ambient storage, cross-dock, e-fulfilment, and manufacturing operations. This knowledge shapes system design to maximise self-consumption for your specific operating pattern.
Nationwide Coverage
Our regional installation teams cover the entire UK, from the Golden Triangle logistics heartland to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. No warehouse is too far from our reach.
