Commercial solar panel installers in Lichfield
Lichfield sits at the A38 / A5 pivot on the northern edge of the West Midlands conurbation, and its industrial gravity is Fradley Park - a 200-plus-hectare distribution and light-manufacturing estate anchored by Amazon, Screwfix, Palletways and DPD. Britannia Enterprise Park carries the older Lichfield light-industrial footprint on the north-east edge of the city, while the WS14 and DE13 hinterland picks up Alrewas, Whittington and Fradley Junction canal-side SME activity. Rooftops here are dominated by large-span modern portal-frame warehousing built after 2005, which is close to ideal for shallow east-west PV.

Are Fradley Park distribution roofs actually PV-ready?
Yes - the majority of the estate is post-2005 portal-frame construction with 6 mm profiled steel deck. Standard rail-and-clamp systems load below the design spare on nearly every Fradley shed we survey, and roof warranties from Kingspan, Tata and Euroclad are compatible with the non-penetrative fixings we specify. Larger Amazon / Screwfix sheds have been retrofitted before, so precedent within the estate is strong.
How does NGED handle Fradley and Streethay G99?
Fradley Park sits on a dedicated primary and NGED has been actively upgrading feeders to accommodate distribution-warehouse PV additions. Sub-500 kWp with export limitation typically clears in 10–12 weeks on the estate, and multi-megawatt schemes have moved through Design Variation at the primary within eight to nine months in recent cases.
Do parcel-hub operators run enough daytime load for PV to make sense?
Parcel and fulfilment operators are surprisingly PV-friendly. Chilled zones, automated sortation, conveyor motors and yard lighting draw substantial daytime baseline load through the working week, and self-consumption on well-sized Fradley arrays typically lands in the low-to-mid 80s of percent even before battery is considered.
What yield does WS13 deliver on a modern shed?
Around 950–1,000 kWh per kWp per year on a shallow east-west shed, or 970–1,020 kWh per kWp on a south-facing pitch. Fradley's flat, large-span roofs typically maximise module count within point-load limits rather than being irradiance-constrained.
Which locations around Lichfield do you cover?
Fradley, Whittington, Alrewas, Streethay, Wall, Shenstone and Burntwood are day-one visits. Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield, Rugeley, Cannock and Burton-upon-Trent-west are on scheduled survey days from the Lichfield base.
