Commercial building solar panels across West Midlands
We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout West Midlands, 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 West Midlands
Modelled yield varies across West Midlands: Coventry comes out at 868 kWh per kWp a year against 839 at Wolverhampton. On a 210 kWp commercial roof that gap is about 6,090 kWh a year.
Across the 7 authorities our West Midlands towns sit in, the Valuation Office Agency lists 17,450 office and 25,850 retail properties, 820 of them large-format stores and retail warehouses.

The planning database records 3 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including West Bromwich Albion Football Club, Morrison Supermarkets, Lichfield Street and Jerome Retail Park, Midland 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.
