Leicester’s business landscape, from manufacturing hubs in Beaumont Leys to office spaces in the Cultural Quarter, is increasingly turning to commercial solar to reduce carbon emissions and meet environmental targets. The city’s industrial heritage and growing focus on sustainability make it a hotspot for solar adoption among warehouses, retail units, and professional services.

This shift not only aligns with council climate goals but also enhances property value for forward-thinking businesses.
Picture a recent project at a Leicester warehouse, where we installed a 50kW solar system for a logistics firm aiming to lower its environmental impact. Our custom design maximized their expansive roof space, significantly cutting their CO2 emissions while powering daily operations. A business owner in Frog Island said, “McConnells Green delivered a solar solution that’s efficient and hassle-free—our team loves contributing to a cleaner Leicester.” These examples reflect our ability to adapt to Leicester’s commercial needs, providing durable, low-maintenance systems that perform.
