Solar panels for warehouses in Camberley
The economics of a Camberley rooftop array turn on how much of the generation the occupier uses on site. The survey measures the roof, not the postcode: cladding profile, purlin centres, remaining sheet life and the load the frame can take.
900 kWh per kWp a year at this latitude, so a 500 kWp array models at about 450,000 kWh. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss.

Warehouse rooftop solar across Surrey
What a roof in Camberley 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 900 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.
Most of the units we look at here sit in the GU postcode area.
Bracknell Forest is the planning authority for most sites here, and the built-up area holds a population of about 36,785, so the stock here runs to trade counters, light industrial terraces and the occasional larger shed (ONS Census 2021 built-up areas).
Camberley ranks 9 of 10 towns we cover in Surrey on modelled yield, against a national mean of 886 kWh per kWp. The county runs from 900 to 916, a spread of 16 kWh per kWp. Within Surrey that difference is small enough to ignore: where the building sits is not what decides this scheme, your consumption pattern is.

Grid connection through UK Power Networks
Connections around Camberley 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.
Across Surrey the planning database records 74 solar schemes totalling 182 MW, of which 6 are operational (REPD Q1 2026).

Questions about solar in Camberley
- What would a 500 kWp array produce in Camberley?
- Yes, and the number matters more than the sunshine. At 900 kWh per kWp a year, a 500 kWp array on a Camberley roof models at around 450,000 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 Camberley?
- Applications go to UK Power Networks, who run the network across Surrey. They decide the export limit, and we handle the G99 paperwork alongside the array design.
- What does Bracknell Forest require for rooftop solar?
- Roof-mounted panels on a commercial building usually fall under permitted development, subject to the limits on projection above the roof plane and to the building not being listed or in a conservation area. We confirm the position with Bracknell Forest before the design is finalised.
- Has anyone near GU15 already done this?
- The planning database records 4 solar schemes in this postcode district, 4 of them roof mounted. That matters less as proof that it works and more as evidence of how the local network has been treating export applications. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
