At James Kemball, we’ve always been about moving forward – literally and figuratively. For decades, we’ve supported the UK’s logistics needs with efficient, reliable container and freight solutions. But our journey into the renewable energy sector represents not just a new chapter for our company, but a purposeful shift toward a more sustainable future.
Our venture into solar logistics didn’t happen overnight. It began when members of our commercial team visited Munich for InterSolar, one of the world’s leading exhibitions for the solar industry. This trip opened our eyes to the sheer scale and potential of the renewable sector – not just globally, but back home in the UK. Energised by what we saw, we attended Solar and Storage Live later that year as guests. What started as curiosity soon turned into commitment: by the following year, we were proud to return to the event – not as visitors, but as exhibitors.
Since then, we’ve significantly expanded our services to meet the needs of the solar sector. Today, we offer a suite of specialised logistics and storage solutions tailored specifically for solar projects across the UK.
Supporting the UK Solar Boom
Our dedicated solar division now provides:
- Secure storage facilities in Felixstowe and Ipswich
- Off dock storage facilities for BESS and MVP modules
- Final-mile delivery to solar farms, including those with planning constraints and tight access restrictions.
- Mobile solar panel testing and quality control direct to site – minimising risk and maximising efficiency.
Key Projects
We’ve already played a critical role in supporting multiple solar farm developments across the UK. From managing hundreds of container movements to navigating complex site requirements, our team brings a proactive, detail-focused approach to every job.
