What the data says about Bedfordshire
Modelled yield is consistent across Bedfordshire, from 892 kWh per kWp a year at Leighton Buzzard to 902 at Biggleswade. At that spread, location does not decide the case. Daytime consumption does.
Across the 3 authorities our Bedfordshire towns sit in, the Valuation Office Agency lists 3,540 office and 4,450 retail properties, 190 of them large-format stores and retail warehouses.

The planning database records 2 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including Tesco Stores, New Road. These are other organisations' projects, listed from the public record. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through UK Power Networks. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase needs a G99 application, and the export limit offered shapes the design, so the question is asked before the array is sized.
