Commercial building solar panels across Cambridgeshire
We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout Cambridgeshire, model what each roof can carry against the building's own consumption, and arrange the design, the grid application and the install through our MCS-certified partner.

What the data says about Cambridgeshire
Modelled yield is consistent across Cambridgeshire, from 898 kWh per kWp a year at St Neots to 908 at Huntingdon. At that spread, location does not decide the case. Daytime consumption does.
Across the 5 authorities our Cambridgeshire towns sit in, the Valuation Office Agency lists 4,650 office and 4,710 retail properties, 220 of them large-format stores and retail warehouses.

The planning database records 9 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including David Lloyd Clubs, Thorpe Wood, Cambridge Parkside Pool, J Sainsbury Plc, St Germain Walk and Needingworth 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.
