Case Study
Warehouse Solar PV Installation in Leeds
Scott Electrical delivered a large-scale rooftop solar PV installation across multiple warehouse buildings within a busy industrial facility in Leeds.
The project formed part of a wider roof refurbishment programme, allowing renewable energy infrastructure to be installed alongside structural upgrades. This approach reduced overall disruption while maximising long-term value for the client.
Spanning multiple roof elevations, the system was designed to optimise available space, maintain safe access routes, and meet structural constraints, all within a live operational environment.
How Solar Can Work for Your Business
A commercial solar system converts sunlight into usable electricity for your building. During daylight hours, your business uses solar energy first, reducing the amount you draw from the grid. Any excess energy can be stored in batteries or exported back to the grid.
A Typical Commercial Solar Setup Includes:
Solar panels (PV modules)
Inverters to convert energy
Mounting system for flat or pitched roofs
Optional battery storage
Online monitoring & performance tracking
