Solar panels for warehouses in Malvern
Sheds around Malvern tend to have more roof than the business has any other use for. What decides a scheme here is the state of the covering and the load path, which is why the survey starts on the roof rather than in a spreadsheet.
875 kWh per kWp a year at this latitude, so a 500 kWp array models at about 438,000 kWh. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss.

What a roof in Malvern actually generates
Modelled irradiation at this latitude is 1122 kWh per square metre a year in the plane of a shallow-pitched roof, which works out at 875 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.
Malvern ranks 5 of 7 towns we cover in Worcestershire on modelled yield, against a national mean of 886 kWh per kWp. The county runs from 866 to 882, a spread of 16 kWh per kWp. Within Worcestershire that difference is small enough to ignore: where the building sits is not what decides this scheme, your consumption pattern is.
Grid connection through National Grid Electricity Distribution
National Grid Electricity Distribution operates the distribution network across Worcestershire, so the export application goes to them. Anything larger than 3.68 kW per phase falls under G99, which means an application before commissioning rather than a notification afterwards. A constrained network is not the end of a scheme. Capping export costs little when the building already absorbs most of what the roof produces.
Across Worcestershire the planning database records 62 solar schemes totalling 506 MW, of which 6 are operational (REPD Q1 2026).

Questions about solar in Malvern
- How much does a warehouse roof in Malvern generate?
- The model gives 875 kWh for every kWp installed here, so 500 kWp comes out at about 438,000 kWh a year before any shading losses. You need roughly 1,485 sqm of clear roof to fit it. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2, SARAH3, 10 degree pitch, 14 percent system loss.
- Does the grid around Malvern have capacity?
- National Grid Electricity Distribution is the distribution network operator for Worcestershire. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase connects under G99, and the application sets the export limit. We submit it as part of the design.
