Commercial building solar panels across West Yorkshire
We arrange roof surveys on offices, retail units, hotels and leisure buildings throughout West 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 3 roof-mounted solar schemes on commercial buildings in the postcode districts we cover here, including John Smiths Stadium, Huddersfield Town and Stuart Road. 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.
- Leeds 830 kWh/kWp
- Bradford 817 kWh/kWp
- Huddersfield 811 kWh/kWp
- Wakefield 837 kWh/kWp
- Halifax 812 kWh/kWp
- Dewsbury 835 kWh/kWp
- Pontefract 846 kWh/kWp
- Ilkley 813 kWh/kWp
