Which Corby estates do you cover?
Eurohub, Princewood, Earlstrees, Phoenix Parkway, Weldon and Oakley Vale make up the core. Site visits within 7–10 days; the largest Eurohub buildings often run on a bespoke engineering programme.
Corby commercial solar install costs?
Above 100 kWp budget £700–£900 per kWp installed; arrays above 500 kWp on Eurohub-scale sheds trim closer to £640–£780 per kWp. Five- to seven-year payback is normal.
What array size fits a Corby mega-shed?
Corby's 250,000–1,000,000 sq ft sheds carry vast flat roofs that support 500 kWp–2 MWp arrays per building. Pairing with battery storage to flatten the evening peak is increasingly common for tenants with high after-dark MHE load.
Payback for Corby 3PL operators?
Five to seven years on continuous-shift 3PL. Midlands irradiance combined with very large roof footprints and steady MHE and refrigeration demand gives some of the strongest ROI in the UK logistics estate.
Planning routes for NN17–NN18 commercial roofs?
Most installs clear permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas in the old town and arrays above 1 MWp need a planning application - Eurohub and Princewood mega-sheds generally clear PD comfortably.
Coverage across North Northamptonshire?
Kettering, Wellingborough, Market Harborough and the wider A14/A43 belt sit inside the same East of England dispatch - same crew end-to-end.
