Leicestershire
Renewable energy in Leicester
We work across Leicester and Leicestershire, with a particular focus on commercial rooftops and community buildings.
What we see in Leicester
Leicester has a dense stock of light industrial and textile units with large, flat or shallow-pitched roofs — often the best value commercial solar in the region, provided the roof structure is surveyed properly first. The city also has a strong network of faith and community buildings, which is a specific strand of our work and frequently grant-supported.
Work we typically carry out here
- Flat and shallow-pitch commercial rooftop arrays
- Structural checks before committing to a roof-mounted system
- Community and faith building installations with funding support
- Battery storage for sites with peak demand charges
- Domestic solar, battery and EV charging
Planning and grid
Commercial roof arrays are usually permitted development, but listed and locally listed buildings — common among community and faith premises — need consent. We check this before any design work begins.
Please note
Installation work is delivered by our network of MCS-certified installation partners. Solar Renewables & Importations Ltd does not itself hold MCS certification.
Coverage
