Why warehouses are a strong solar fit
The warehouse sector typically sees 45% of solar generation consumed on-site, which is the single biggest driver of PPA economics. Higher self-consumption means more of the solar output displaces expensive grid electricity (currently ~28p/kWh for commercial tariffs) rather than exporting at the lower SEG rate (~5p/kWh).
A typical 250-kWp rooftop system on a warehouse site generates around 225 MWh per year, covering a meaningful share of typical sector demand and locking in ~25 years of price-certain electricity via a PPA structure.
