A fabrication workshop, Leicester

Industrial · 189 kWp · December 2024

What was there

A busy metal fabrication workshop with a big, clear industrial roof and machinery running all day. Exactly the kind of building where solar earns its keep.

What we did

We filled the roof with 189 kWp of panels on a SolarEdge system, with the network operator's approval in place first.

How it's doing

Switched on in December 2024. In the 12 months to 30 September 2026 the roof made 171.6 MWh. The building used 66% of that on site, and solar covered 38% of all the electricity it used.
