Pontprennau is one of Cardiff newest and most rapidly developing suburbs, located in the north-east of the city with superb transport links via the M4 motorway, A48M and Eastern Avenue. The area is characterised by modern housing estates, business parks, retail centres and large commercial developments, making it one of the best locations in Cardiff for office and warehouse solar installations. Many of the commercial buildings here were constructed in the last 20 years with modern roof structures ideally suited for solar.
Office buildings and business parks in Pontprennau house a diverse range of businesses from professional services and tech companies to healthcare providers and retail chains. These modern buildings typically have large, well-oriented roofs and high daytime electricity consumption from air conditioning, lighting, computers and equipment. A 20-50kW solar system on a Pontprennau office can offset 50-70% of daytime electricity usage, saving £6,000-£15,000 per year with payback in 4-6 years.
Warehouse, distribution and logistics facilities in and around Pontprennau represent some of the best solar opportunities in South Wales. These buildings typically have vast, flat, unshaded roofs that can accommodate large solar arrays, and their high electricity consumption from lighting, conveyor systems, climate control and charging equipment means almost all generated solar is consumed on-site. A 100kW+ system on a Pontprennau warehouse can save £25,000-£50,000 per year with payback in under 5 years.
