Commercial building solar panels across Lancashire
We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout Lancashire, 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.

Modelled yield varies across Lancashire: Blackpool comes out at 888 kWh per kWp a year against 774 at Burnley. On a 210 kWp commercial roof that gap is about 23,940 kWh a year.

The planning database records 5 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including Marton Mere Holiday Village, Mythop Road, Preston North End Football Stadium, Sir Tom Finney Way and Best Western Park Hall, Hotel Park Hall Road. These are other organisations' projects, listed from the public record. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through Electricity North West. 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.
