Solar panels for warehouses in Sa1 Waterfront

The economics of a Sa1 Waterfront rooftop array turn on how much of the generation the occupier uses on site. Each survey records the cladding profile, the usable area once rooflights and plant are removed, and the export limit worth applying for.

Sa1 Waterfront ranks 0 of 4 towns we cover in Swansea on modelled yield, against a national mean of 886 kWh per kWp. The county runs from 881 to 921, a spread of 40 kWh per kWp. Within Swansea that difference is small enough to ignore: where the building sits is not what decides this scheme, your consumption pattern is.

Bars are zero based, so length is proportional to the figure. Where a county is flat, that is the finding: location is not the lever, consumption is. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, modelled per town

Grid connection through National Grid Electricity Distribution

National Grid Electricity Distribution 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.

Questions about solar in Sa1 Waterfront

Who do we apply to for export in Sa1 Waterfront?
Capacity varies street by street, and only National Grid Electricity Distribution can answer it for your connection. We ask the question early, because an export-limited offer changes the design rather than killing the scheme.
