Solar for warehousing & logistics.
Distribution centres, 3PL warehouses and logistics parks — enormous roofs above comparatively modest electrical load.
Does rooftop solar work for warehousing and logistics?
Often yes, but the honest question is how much you can consume, not how much you could generate. A large shed usually draws far less than its roof area suggests, so sanctioned load and on-site consumption bind before roof space does. Fleet and forklift charging change that arithmetic considerably in your favour.
This is the segment where the roof is usually bigger than the problem. A large shed may draw far less than its area suggests: lighting, some material-handling equipment charging, office and dock loads. Available roof stops being the constraint almost immediately — what limits the system instead is your sanctioned load, your connection, and how much of the generation you can actually consume on site during the day.
The parts specific to this kind of site.
Because on-site consumption is low relative to potential generation, what happens to surplus units becomes the central question rather than a footnote, and that is a regulatory and metering matter as much as a technical one. Purlin spacing and sheet condition on older sheds often decide feasibility. If the building is leased, the term left on the lease matters as much as the structure.
Where this lands.
Frequently strong — but the honest version of this conversation is about how much you can use, not how much you could generate. Fleet and forklift charging change the arithmetic considerably in your favour.
Commercial rooftop solar
