Solar Panel Installation in Leicester

We install across the Beaumont Leys industrial estate, the Hamilton business cluster, Meridian Business Park, the textile and footwear factories along the A47 and the logistics belt around Magna Park (just outside the city in Lutterworth).

What we install in Leicester

Our Leicester installations split roughly 60/40 between commercial roof PV (factories, warehouses, agricultural buildings, hospitality) and domestic roof PV (semi-detached and detached owner-occupied homes). We work with both single-house owner-occupiers and multi-site commercial operators across the area.

• Commercial roof PV — 30kWp to 1MWp+ installations on industrial, agricultural and hospitality buildings in Leicester
• Domestic solar PV — 3.4kWp to 8.6kWp on owner-occupied homes throughout LE1–LE5
• Battery storage — 5kWh to 215kWh on residential and commercial premises
• EV charging — OZEV-approved 7kW–22kW chargers, with home and workplace charging grants claimed on your behalf
• Grid connection support — G98 / G99 / G100 applications managed end-to-end with your local DNO

Leicester climate framework

Leicester City Council was the UK's first authority to declare itself an environment city and has a Climate Emergency Strategy targeting 2030 city-wide net zero — among the most ambitious in the UK. The Sustainable City Plan strongly favours commercial PV and EV infrastructure.

Industrial estates and commercial clusters we cover

Our commercial work in Leicester concentrates around Beaumont Leys, Hamilton, Meridian Business Park. Each of these estates has different roof-stock characteristics, grid capacity profiles and tenant patterns — our drone-led survey approach adapts to all of them.

Grid capacity and DNO context

Leicester sits on NGED territory. Grid capacity is moderate to tight in LE3 (Beaumont Leys) and LE4 (Hamilton) but generally good in LE1 / LE2. We routinely use G100 export limitation on commercial installs in the inner-city industrial postcodes.

Energy demand context for Leicester

Leicester has approximately 14,200 VAT-registered businesses, with a heavy weighting toward textiles, food production and logistics. Average commercial electrical spend for the city's mid-sized employers is £20,000–£70,000/year.

Local landmarks and orientation

For reference, we routinely work near these Leicester landmarks: King Power Stadium, Leicester Cathedral, Beaumont Leys Industrial Estate, Curve Theatre, Meridian Business Park. Our HQ in Newark-on-Trent sits 75 minutes from Leicester by road via the main routes, which means our drone-survey crew can be on site for a first visit inside two working days from initial enquiry.

Postcodes served

We routinely install across the following Leicester postcodes: LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5. The local council is Leicester City Council, which is the planning authority for any installation requiring full planning permission (typically only listed buildings, conservation areas and ground-mount projects).

Why Leicester customers choose KMM

Three things separate us from the larger national installers operating in Leicester:

1. Local presence. Our HQ is 75 minutes from your front door. Aftercare is not via a call-centre in Glasgow — it is the same person who designed your system.
2. Drone-led surveys. We survey every roof from the air. No ladders, no scaffold hire on the survey day, and a 3D model of your roof inside 48 hours.
3. Honest finance. Our quotes include the published commission, the alternative finance routes side-by-side and the cash model we used to calculate payback.
