Solar & battery for warehouses and distribution centres
A distribution centre roof is the largest unused asset most logistics operators own. Put generation on it and you cover lighting, refrigeration, forklift charging and, increasingly, the electric fleet parked outside.
The roof is already paid for. Make it earn.
Enormous roof, low competing use
Nothing else uses that area. A DC roof routinely supports an array several times the size the site consumes, which means room to cover future automation, cold storage or fleet charging without a redesign.
Refrigeration and forklifts are daytime load
Cool rooms, dock levellers, high-bay lighting and forklift charging all draw while the sun is up. Self-consumption stays high, and high self-consumption is what drives the payback.
It sets up fleet electrification
Depot charging is the next capital ask. Sites with generation and storage already installed can add charging bays on the existing supply instead of paying for an upgrade.
What we would specify for your site
Brand agnostic. Panels, inverters and batteries chosen on warranty and serviceability, sized from your interval data.
Indicative specification for design purposes. Confirm final scope with eProjects.
One contractor, whole job
Warehouse roofs mean long cable runs, multiple switchboards and often a tenant-landlord split. We design the electrical infrastructure around all three.

We lease the warehouse. Who pays for it?
Several models work: landlord funds and recovers through rent, tenant funds with a make-good agreement, or a shared arrangement. We will put the options in writing so both parties can see the numbers.
Can the roof structure take the load?
Modern portal-frame roofs usually can. A structural engineer signs off before installation, and we include that assessment in the feasibility.
What if we automate later and load increases?
We size the system with headroom and design the switchgear so additional strings or storage can be added without rebuilding the connection.
Does it work with our fleet charging plans?
Directly. Solar, storage and charging are managed as one system, so daytime charging runs off generation and overnight charging is scheduled around your tariff.
