Warehouse solar panels across Cornwall
We survey industrial and distribution roofs throughout Cornwall, model what each one can carry, and arrange the design, the grid application and the install through our MCS-certified partner.

What the data says about Cornwall
Modelled yield is not flat across Cornwall. Penzance comes out at 979 kWh per kWp a year against 921 at Camborne, a spread of 58 kWh per kWp. On a 500 kWp array that difference is about 29,000 kWh a year, which is worth checking before you accept a generic saving figure.
The larger roofs in Cornwall follow the freight routes. Across the towns we cover that means A30, A39, A390, A38 and A389, which is where single-let distribution stock concentrates.
The government's planning database records 174 solar schemes in Cornwall totalling 1116 MW, of which 88 are already operational and 10 of the schemes in our covered postcode districts are roof mounted. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through National Grid Electricity Distribution. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase needs a G99 application, and the export limit they offer shapes the design, so we ask the question before the array is sized rather than after.
