We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout Northumberland, 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.

The planning database records 3 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including Dobbies Garden Centre, Heighley Gate and Berwick Holiday Centre, Magdalen Fields. These are other organisations' projects, listed from the public record. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through Northern Powergrid. 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.
