Commercial building solar panels across Gloucestershire
We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout Gloucestershire, 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 Gloucestershire
Modelled yield varies across Gloucestershire: Lydney comes out at 905 kWh per kWp a year against 870 at Gloucester. On a 210 kWp commercial roof that gap is about 7,350 kWh a year.
Across the 6 authorities our Gloucestershire towns sit in, the Valuation Office Agency lists 4,940 office and 4,860 retail properties, 200 of them large-format stores and retail warehouses.

The planning database records 4 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including Morrisons Supermarket, Glevum Way and Sainsburys Supermarket, Dudbridge Road. These are other organisations' projects, listed from the public record. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through National Grid Electricity Distribution. 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.
- Gloucester 870 kWh/kWp
- Cheltenham 879 kWh/kWp
- Stroud 887 kWh/kWp
- Cirencester 892 kWh/kWp
- Tewkesbury 878 kWh/kWp
- Lydney 905 kWh/kWp
