Sutton Fields: Hull's Solar Powerhouse
Spanning over 140 acres in north Hull, Sutton Fields Industrial Estate is the city's largest concentration of commercial and industrial premises. The estate is characterised by steel portal frame buildings with large, flat or low-pitch roof areas — the ideal configuration for commercial solar PV.
Businesses on Sutton Fields range from food processing and cold storage to engineering workshops, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities. Many operate energy-intensive processes with high daytime electricity consumption, achieving self-consumption rates of 80-95% when solar is installed.
YEERS has installed multiple systems on Sutton Fields premises and understands the specific characteristics of the estate: roof types, structural load capacities typical of the building stock, and the Northern Powergrid infrastructure serving the area.
Steel Portal Frames
Non-penetrative clamping systems attach to roof seams without compromising waterproofing. Lightweight panels add minimal structural load.
High Base Load
Refrigeration, compressors, and production lines create constant demand. Solar generation is consumed immediately, maximising value.
