Are Airfield Business Park roofs typically PV-ready?
The 2000s and 2010s Airfield speculative stock uses standing-seam and Kingspan profile ideally suited to non-penetrative clamp systems. Warranty re-endorsement is a two-page installer sign-off that we prepare with the survey pack.
How does NGED handle LE16 G99?
Sub-500 kWp with export limitation typically completes acceptance inside 10–12 weeks on the Airfield and Rockingham Road feeders. Rural south-Leicestershire 33 kV headroom is genuine and 1 MWp+ arrays remain workable via Design Variation on the Market Harborough primary.
Do A6/A14 fulfilment loads suit rooftop PV?
Very well - pick-and-pack shift patterns run through the daytime, conveyor, MHE-charging and HVAC carry sustained baseline demand, and self-consumption on a well-sized rooftop array sits in the mid-to-high 80s of percent.
What yield does an LE16 rooftop deliver?
Around 970–1,010 kWh per kWp per year on shallow east-west arrays and up to around 1,040 on a south-facing pitch. South Leicestershire lowland sites deliver among the higher East Midlands yields.

Great Bowden, Little Bowden, Kibworth Beauchamp, Foxton, Lubenham, Husbands Bosworth and Desborough are day-one visits. Leicester, Kettering, Corby, Rugby and Wigston are on scheduled survey days from the LE16 base.
