Estimated from the building outline — we haven't seen this roof.

We don't have aerial solar data for this building, so these figures are estimated from its outline and typical assumptions (roughly half a flat roof usable, about 0.13 kWp per usable m²). They're a wide ballpark, not a feasibility study — roof structure, pitch, shading, rooftop plant, access and planning all change the real answer. A commercial solar survey is the only way to confirm it.
