Could Amazon Fulfilment Centre (MME1), Darlington go solar?
A modern big-box on Symmetry Park, the Amazon fulfilment centre (MME1) at Darlington offers a large, unobstructed flat roof — around 50,500 sqm on our outline estimate. Measured from the footprint rather than a survey, the figures are indicative: roughly 9,000 panels, about 3.6 MW, and an estimated 1.8–4.7 million kWh a year. A proper survey would confirm what the roof can carry.
