Solar panels for warehouses in Enfield
Sheds around Enfield 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.
898 kWh per kWp a year at this latitude, so a 500 kWp array models at about 449,000 kWh. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss.

What a roof in Enfield actually generates
Modelled irradiation at this latitude is 1155 kWh per square metre a year in the plane of a shallow-pitched roof, which works out at 898 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.
Distribution stock around Enfield clusters on M25 J25, A10 and North Circular A406, which is where the large single-let roofs are.
Enfield ranks 47 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
UK Power Networks is the network operator here, and their answer on export capacity shapes the design. Any commercial array above 3.68 kW per phase connects under G99 rather than G98, and the application fixes what you are allowed to push back onto the network. If the local network is tight, limiting export rarely breaks the case here: most of the generation is consumed on site while the building is working.

Tell us where the unit is and roughly how big the roof is. We come back with what it can carry, what it would generate against your consumption, and the three ways to pay for it.
Lenzie Consulting Ltd arranges the survey and passes your details to our MCS-certified installation partner so they can quote.
Questions about solar in Enfield
- What would a 500 kWp array produce in Enfield?
- Yes, and the number matters more than the sunshine. At 898 kWh per kWp a year, a 500 kWp array on a Enfield roof models at around 449,000 kWh. What changes the answer is how much of that you use on site rather than export. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss.
- Which network operator handles the connection in Enfield?
- Applications go to UK Power Networks, who run the network across Greater London. They decide the export limit, and we handle the G99 paperwork alongside the array design.
