The Logistics Podcast

Solar panels on industrial building rooftops is a no-brainer: 9 in 10 members of the public support it. So, why is it that only 5% of warehouses have installed them? Warehouse owners and operators cite issues such as complex financing models and constantly changing regulations. The UKWA has been instrumental in helping warehouse occupiers navigate these challenges, and, at IMHX 2025, launched their Solar Toolkit. This free resource provides step-by-step instructions for every stage of solar installation, and shines a light on the latest developments in legislation and technology. This episode was recorded live at the Future Zone at IMHX 2025. Guest host Harry Watts of SEC Storage discusses the realities of rooftop solar with Deanna Greenhalgh of SAS Energy and Clare Bottle of the UKWA, including real-world case studies and the best strategies to kick-start your journey to energy independence.
