How much could solar PV save you?
THE BRIEF
WHAT WE INSTALLED
38 Modules: Viridian 405W
Inverter: 1 x 12.5K SolarEdge
Optimizers: 38 x S500B SolarEdge
Mounting System: Viridian Inlay
Metering Solution: SolarEdge
Safety Feature: SolarEdge Firefighter Gateway
HOW WE DID IT
We worked closely with the client’s other contractors to ensure the solar PV installation was completed smoothly and on schedule. The integration of SolarEdge’s Firefighter Gateway provided a critical safety feature, enabling rapid DC shutdown in the event of a fire alarm activation. This installation represents phase one of a two-part scheme, which will ultimately deliver a total of 33kW of PV generation.
OUR RESULTS
The installation generates 186MWh annually, with 66% of the energy consumed on-site and 39% of import demand offset. This results in annual savings of approximately £5,800, contributing to the nursery’s sustainability goals and offering a strong return on investment.
