Solar panels for warehouses in Canary Wharf
Sheds around Canary Wharf tend to have more roof than the business has any other use for. We start with the covering and the structure, because a roof with five years left in it changes the answer entirely.

Distribution centre solar across Greater London
Canary Wharf ranks 0 of 50 towns we cover in Greater London on modelled yield, against a national mean of 886 kWh per kWp. The county runs from 847 to 987, a spread of 140 kWh per kWp. On a 500 kWp array that is about 70,000 kWh a year between the strongest and weakest town in the county.
Grid connection through UK Power Networks
Connections around Canary Wharf are handled by UK Power Networks, which sets the export limit for the site. Above 3.68 kW per phase the connection runs under G99, so the export limit is agreed in advance rather than assumed. Where the local network is constrained, an export-limited connection usually still makes the scheme work, because a warehouse uses most of what the roof makes during the working day.
