Solar panels for warehouses in Hengrove
The economics of a Hengrove rooftop array turn on how much of the generation the occupier uses on site. Each survey records the cladding profile, the usable area once rooflights and plant are removed, and the export limit worth applying for.
903 kWh per kWp a year at this latitude, so a 500 kWp array models at about 452,000 kWh. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss.

Warehouse rooftop solar across Bristol
What a roof in Hengrove actually generates
Modelled irradiation at this latitude is 1154 kWh per square metre a year in the plane of a shallow-pitched roof, which works out at 903 kWh for every kWp installed (EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss). That sits within a few percent of the mean across the towns we cover, so the case rests on your consumption pattern rather than on the weather.
Hengrove ranks 3 of 5 towns we cover in Bristol on modelled yield, against a national mean of 886 kWh per kWp. The county runs from 895 to 908, a spread of 13 kWh per kWp. Within Bristol that difference is small enough to ignore: where the building sits is not what decides this scheme, your consumption pattern is.
Grid connection through National Grid Electricity Distribution
National Grid Electricity Distribution operates the distribution network across Bristol, so the export application goes to them. Anything larger than 3.68 kW per phase falls under G99, which means an application before commissioning rather than a notification afterwards. A constrained network is not the end of a scheme. Capping export costs little when the building already absorbs most of what the roof produces.

Questions about solar in Hengrove
- How much does a warehouse roof in Hengrove generate?
- The model gives 903 kWh for every kWp installed here, so 500 kWp comes out at about 452,000 kWh a year before any shading losses. You need roughly 1,485 sqm of clear roof to fit it. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss.
- Does the grid around Hengrove have capacity?
- National Grid Electricity Distribution is the distribution network operator for Bristol. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase connects under G99, and the application sets the export limit. We submit it as part of the design.
