A flat warehouse roof turned into a daytime power plant for cooling, lighting and forklift charging.

Battery

Yearly output
412,000 kWh
The brief
A regional distribution centre runs cooling, lighting and forklift charging from early morning to late evening. Daytime demand lines up almost perfectly with solar output.
What we installed
A ballasted east-west array across the full roof, so no penetrations were needed, with string inverters on the roof edge and a new connection to the main switchboard.
- Structural survey and load calculation before design
- Installed in phases with no stop to operations
- Live dashboard for the facility manager
The result
The array covers roughly 58 percent of the site's annual consumption. Payback is expected in under six years at current tariffs.
Yearly savings
About 61,000 per year
Estimated from the first twelve months of monitoring data at current tariffs. Your own figures depend on roof, usage and tariff.
