For cold-chain operators, maintaining consistent temperatures and uninterrupted power is non-negotiable. Businesses also face growing expectations from clients and supply-chain partners to lower carbon emissions while maintaining strict operational standards. Solar PV provides a dependable source of daytime generation that helps offset high refrigeration demand and improve site resilience. Paired with battery storage, it enables facilities to manage tariff spikes, strengthen backup capability and maintain critical cooling performance during grid disturbances.
Cold stores often have large roof areas and consistent energy demand – ideal conditions for solar PV. Our engineers design each system around your bespoke building layout, roof structure, load profile, refrigeration profile and operational hours, ensuring minimal disruption and delivering measurable savings.
Adding battery storage allows your site to capture daytime solar energy and store excess solar energy for night-time or early-morning refrigeration cycles, manage start up loads, maintain stability and provide backup during power spikes or grid outages when coupled with battery storage.
BeBa’s extensive public sector experience means that we understand the unique challenges of public-sector projects; from procurement rules, long-term ROI, to sustainability targets. Our project teams coordinate carefully to minimise impact on daily operations, ensuring installation work is compatible with your unique timetable.
Tailored to large-span or insulated panel roofs, delivering maximum efficiency with minimal structural disruption.
Store surplus generation to support refrigeration loads overnight, during high-tariff periods or grid instability.
Continuous system monitoring, proactive maintenance, and panel cleaning to safeguard performance and long-term returns.

Savings depend on system size and energy usage, but many operators can reduce grid electricity consumption by 20–40%, significantly lowering operational costs and exposure to energy price volatility.
No. Solar integrates seamlessly with existing systems. Refrigeration continues to operate as normal, with solar simply offsetting part of the electricity demand.
Yes. Cold storage is one of the strongest use cases for solar due to excellent alignment between daytime demand and energy generation.
Yes. Battery storage allows excess energy to be used during peak tariffs or overnight, further improving cost savings and resilience.
Most cold storage facilities have large industrial roofs suitable for solar. Structural and compliance assessments are carried out during design.
No. Work is primarily external and carefully planned to avoid disruption to refrigeration or logistics. The final connection will often include a full shutdown which BeBa will schedule to minimise disruption
Solar reduces carbon emissions and supports ESG targets, which is particularly impactful for energy-intensive cold storage businesses.
