54kWp Solar PVCentral Docks, Liverpool
54kWp installed at Central Docks, Liverpool, delivered with Newry Construction. A more compact array than our multi-megawatt work — and given the same design discipline, less than an hour from our Deeside base along the M53.

Regeneration on the Mersey Waterfront
Liverpool’s Central Docks sit within the northern waterfront regeneration area, part of the wider transformation of the historic dock estate north of the Pier Head.
At 54kWp this is a modest commercial array by the standards of our distribution centre work, but the requirements are unchanged: assess the roof, design the electrical system properly, notify the network operator, and certify the installation to BS 7671 and MCS.
Waterfront sites also carry the coastal considerations we know well from ABP Southampton and DP World — wind exposure and salt-laden air both influence specification, even at this scale.
Waterfront Installation
54kWp designed, installed and certified on a Liverpool dockside regeneration site.
54kWp Array
Installation of 54kWp of photovoltaics with mounting specified for a waterfront location.
Roof Assessment
Structural check and mounting design appropriate to the building and its exposure.
Electrical Connection
Full electrical installation, protection, DNO notification and commissioning.
MCS Certification
Certified under MCS with complete electrical documentation on handover.

Mounting and materials chosen for waterfront wind and salt exposure.
A Contractor Close By
Under an hour from our Deeside base — quick surveys, quick returns if needed.
Full Certification
MCS certified and NICEIC approved, with the same documentation as our megawatt-scale projects.
Solar Across Merseyside & the Wirral
Liverpool is one of our closest major markets — the M53 runs from Deeside up the Wirral and through the Kingsway tunnel in well under an hour. Alongside Central Docks we have delivered solar at Phoenix Place in Liverpool with Nobles Construction.
That corridor — Deeside, Ellesmere Port, the Wirral, Birkenhead and Liverpool — is dense with commercial and industrial property, and we work across all of it as readily as we work in Chester and Flintshire.
Whatever your building type, we survey it, design for it and certify it. Talk to us about commercial solar panel installation, or browse the full solar portfolio.
Solar on Liverpool’s Waterfront
Central Docks forms part of Liverpool’s waterfront beside the River Mersey. Regent Road and the historic Trafalgar and Collingwood Docks are reference points for the wider district. This case study records the 54kWp installation completed with Newry Construction in 2019; these landmarks describe the area rather than identify a particular building.
