Commercial building solar panels across South Yorkshire
We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout South Yorkshire, 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 1 roof-mounted solar scheme on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including Morrisons Supermarkets, Corton Wood. 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.
- Sheffield 830 kWh/kWp
- Doncaster 856 kWh/kWp
- Rotherham 835 kWh/kWp
- Barnsley 839 kWh/kWp
- Wombwell 838 kWh/kWp
- Mexborough 847 kWh/kWp
