Generation With Multiple Tenants Beneath
A business park is a collection of separately occupied units under common ownership. That creates an opportunity and a complication in equal measure: plenty of roof area, but electricity consumption split across multiple tenants with their own supplies and meters.
How the generation is arranged — landlord supply, communal areas, or apportioned across units — determines the commercial case entirely, and it has to be settled before the electrical design is fixed rather than after.
Working with Kingspan, we delivered the installation across the estate with those arrangements designed in.

What the Estate Got
On-Site Generation
Renewable generation across the estate’s roof area, reducing bought-in electricity.
Lower Service Charges
Reduced communal energy cost is a direct, visible benefit to every tenant on the park.
An Asset Improvement
On-site generation and improved energy performance strengthen a commercial property’s letting position.
Fully Documented
Certification and records suitable for a multi-tenant managed estate.
Business Park & Estate Solar
Alongside East Tameside we have delivered solar at Stakehill Industrial Park in Manchester and across six Lok’nStore sites — all multi-unit estates with the same underlying metering and apportionment questions.
Business parks across Chester, Deeside, Wrexham and Broughton face exactly the same considerations. Getting the supply strategy right at design stage is what makes the difference between a good investment and an awkward one.
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.
