Warehouse solar panels across Leicestershire
We survey industrial and distribution roofs throughout Leicestershire, 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 Leicestershire
Modelled yield is not flat across Leicestershire. Market Harborough comes out at 891 kWh per kWp a year against 863 at Coalville, a spread of 28 kWh per kWp. On a 500 kWp array that difference is about 14,000 kWh a year, which is worth checking before you accept a generic saving figure.
The larger roofs in Leicestershire follow the freight routes. Across the towns we cover that means M1 J21, M1 J22, M69, A46, A6 and M1 J23, which is where single-let distribution stock concentrates.
The government's planning database records 165 solar schemes in Leicestershire totalling 1259 MW, of which 37 are already operational and 11 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.
- Leicester 874 kWh/kWp
- Loughborough 868 kWh/kWp
- Hinckley 870 kWh/kWp
- Wigston 877 kWh/kWp
- Melton Mowbray 879 kWh/kWp
- Market Harborough 891 kWh/kWp
- Coalville 863 kWh/kWp
