Solar PV for Cold Storage & Refrigerated Warehouses
Cold storage facilities have the best self-consumption ratios in commercial solar — refrigeration runs 24/7 and absorbs every kWh the panels produce. Here is how the economics work.
Cold storage and refrigerated warehouse facilities are the highest-quality commercial solar customers in the UK. Refrigeration load is 24/7 and largely weather-independent, meaning self-consumption of solar generation routinely sits at 95%+. The economics are simple: kWh generated × commercial unit rate × 95% self-consumption = the saving. Payback regularly lands at 3.5-4.5 years on cold-storage sites with current commercial tariffs.
What makes this sector specifically work
