Solar & battery for warehouses & logistics in Stirling

Why solar makes sense for warehouses & logistics in Stirling

Warehouses & Logistics in Stirling typically run high daytime electrical loads — refrigeration, ventilation, lighting, machinery — which align almost perfectly with solar generation curves. With current commercial electricity at 28-38p/kWh and SEG export tariffs at 5-15p/kWh, the maths is straightforward: every kWh self-consumed is a kWh you don't buy.

Typical install size: 150-1,000kWp

For most warehouses & logistics in the FK area, a 150-1,000kWp system is the sweet spot. We design to your half-hourly meter data — no oversizing, no wasted CapEx. Paybacks typically land in the 5-8 year range with current commercial energy prices.

Funding routes

• CapEx: Outright purchase. Best IRR. 50% first-year capital allowance against corporation tax.
• Hire Purchase (HP): Spread the cost over a fixed term while retaining ownership at the end. Monthly payments treated as operating cost.
• PPA (Power Purchase Agreement): Third party owns the asset, you buy the electricity at a fixed (lower) rate. Zero CapEx, Day-1 cash positive.

DNO process for SSEN

For commercial installs above 17kW per phase, a G99 application to SSEN is required. We've delivered dozens of approved applications and can typically achieve connection offer within 6-10 weeks for standard sites.
