Solar PV for Automotive Dealerships & Service Centres

Car dealerships have showroom lighting, workshop power, customer EV charging and increasingly large daytime EV demand from the service department. Here is how solar fits.

Updated 6 July 20266 min readReviewed by Steve Moran

Automotive dealerships are an increasingly active commercial solar segment driven by manufacturer ESG mandates (Stellantis, JLR, BMW, VW Group all require franchised dealers to demonstrate decarbonisation progress) and the rapid growth of customer EV charging demand. KMM has designed dealership installs for franchised sites in Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.

What makes this sector specifically work

Roof areas
Typically 600-2,200m² across showroom, workshop and parts buildings
Customer charging
8-24 charging bays typical for franchised dealers in 2026
OEM ESG reporting
Solar PV directly addresses Scope 2 mandates from manufacturers
Salary sacrifice support
Workplace charging enables staff salary-sacrifice EV schemes

Common KMM project shape for this sector

A typical automotive dealerships & service centres install starts with a drone-led roof survey, MPAN HH-data import, sector-specific load modelling, and a bound ROI proposal inside 5 working days. We work across the UK and the immediate surrounding counties for installs of this scale.
