A forward-thinking business in Worcestershire took a significant step toward sustainability by installing a cutting-edge 22.68 kWp solar PV system.
Designed and installed by Ecovision, this project aligns with the company’s environmental goals of reducing carbon emissions and achieving greater energy independence.
Project Details
- System Capacity: 22.68 kWp
- Energy Generation: 19,327 kWh/year
- Carbon Savings: 2,626 kg/year, equivalent to planting 175 trees annually.
- Solar Components:
- 54 high-efficiency Trina Solar panels with a 21.8% efficiency rate.
- 2 Solis 10 kW three-phase inverters for seamless energy conversion.
- Smart monitoring and export power management system for real-time tracking and optimisation.
Challenges and Solutions
- Time-Sensitive Grant Approval: The installation depended on receiving local government funding, which required a complex application process with a tight deadline.
- Ecovision’s Role: The team took full ownership of the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) application, expediting the approval process to ensure the grant was awarded on time.
- Shading Optimisation: The roof’s orientation and nearby buildings posed shading challenges.
- Solution: Panels were strategically placed using advanced modelling software to minimise shading effects and maximise energy production.
Sustainability Impact
This solar PV installation is part of the company’s broader commitment to sustainability. From eliminating single-use plastics in their supply chain to developing environmentally conscious products, the addition of solar power reduces carbon emissions and further supports their net-zero ambitions.
- Environmental Benefits: Reduction of 2.6 tonnes of CO₂ annually, contributing to a cleaner environment and supporting national carbon-neutral goals.
- Energy Independence: A significant portion of the business’s energy needs are now met by renewable solar power, reducing reliance on the grid.
