Landmark Estimated from outline Tewkesbury · GL20 5RZ

Could Tewkesbury Abbey go solar?

From its outline, Tewkesbury Abbey has roughly 3,700 m² of roof — a size that could host solar, subject to a heritage-aware survey. On a pitched, historic roof like this we don't put a power figure on it: how much is usable depends on the slopes that face the sun and any listing constraints.

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 (a pitched, historic roof). They're a wide ballpark, not a feasibility study — roof structure, pitch, shading, rooftop plant, access and heritage or listing constraints all change the real answer. A commercial solar survey is the only way to confirm it.
