For Kestrel Freight, the strongest first candidate is Daventry Hub. It used 4,173,832 kWh in the last financial year, making it by far the largest single consumer in the network.[2] Roof assessment indicates room for about 553 kW of rooftop PV, generating roughly 463,136 kWh a year — around 11% of its demand.[5]
Why it stands out
Refrigerated cross-dock running 24/7, so nearly all the generation is self-consumed rather than exported.
18,400 m² of flat warehouse roof with good orientation and full assessment coverage.
Your EV charging rollout lands here first, so PV should be sized alongside the grid connection upgrade rather than as a standalone array.
Suggested next step
Treat Daventry Hub and Avonmouth Cross-dock as the two investment candidates, and Solihull Head Office as the visible, customer-facing project. On your current tariff of 24.6p/kWh — taken from the invoices already in Earthchain — that displaces about £96,400 of the site's £1.14m annual electricity bill. I've put the shortlist, the demand comparison and an indicative business case in your workspace.
