Commercial building solar panels across Norfolk
We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout Norfolk, 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 Norfolk
Modelled yield varies across Norfolk: Cromer comes out at 923 kWh per kWp a year against 897 at Thetford. On a 210 kWp commercial roof that gap is about 5,460 kWh a year.
Across the 6 authorities our Norfolk towns sit in, the Valuation Office Agency lists 4,610 office and 6,700 retail properties, 310 of them large-format stores and retail warehouses.

The planning database records 6 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including Wm Morrisons, Hopton Holiday Village, Warren Road, Station Road and Dereham Leisure Centre, Station 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.
