Solar PV Solutions for Warehouse & Distribution
Warehousing and distribution centres often operate with high energy demands to maintain operational hubs, lighting, machinery, heating and ventilation.
Noble Green Energy Solar PV solutions can help reduce your energy costs, protect against market volatility and meet your sustainability goals – with options tailored to your business and budget.

Why Solar PV is Right for Warehouse & Distribution Businesses
- Energy cost stability – Lock in predictable energy costs and reduce exposure to market volatility, which is essential for high-demand, energy-intensive facilities.
- Less reliance on the grid – Remain operational around the clock, avoiding disruptions to shipping schedules.
- Daytime energy generation – Solar panels produce the most energy during the day, aligning with the industry’s peak operational hours for lighting, HVAC, and equipment use.
- Fleet charging – Reduce fuel costs with EV charging, powered directly by the solar for delivery vans, trucks and forklifts.
- Refrigeration facilities – Offset significant energy use with self-generated solar power and take advantage of the natural energy storage of the chillers
- Maximise large roof spaces – Choose roof-mounted or ground-mounted solar PV installations to make the best use of your available space.
- Easily scalable systems – Start small and expand your solar setup as your needs grow or seamlessly add to an existing installation.
- Confident cost forecasting – Safeguard against rising energy costs and future supply chain disruptions.
- Achieve sustainability goals – Reduce your carbon footprint and showcase your commitment to sustainability to your customers.
- Compliance with environmental regulations – Demonstrate your commitment to the growing demands of environmental legislation.
Solar PV Cost & Return on Investment (ROI)
The annual ROI for commercial solar PV is around 25-35%. The greater your electricity costs, the faster the payback of installing a solar panel system.
The 200-300% average increase in electricity costs imported from the grid is one of the main reasons paybacks are much faster than it was previously.
Finance Options
Finance options such as Asset Finance, Hire Purchase or Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) are available to remove the necessity for capital expenditure, leaving the cash available within the business. FIND OUT MORE

Featured Case Study
Oadby Plastics Commercial Solar PV Installation
A 10 kW Solar PV array was needed to satisfy the planning guidelines for a large extension and redevelopment of their Leicester Head Office site.
Following consultation they decided to increase the size to 250 kW to further offset their energy usage. They were so happy with the performance of the Solar PV, the company recently decided to invest further. We installed an additional 270 kW Solar PV array.
75% of all power generated is consumed on site, saving on rising energy costs, while significantly reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
