Commercial Case Studies
To understand how our commercial solar panels could benefit your business, have a look through some of our recent work where we’ve helped reduce overheads with renewable energy.
Associated British Ports
Consistently overperforming
| Client/Project Title: | ABP (Associated British Ports) Ipswich |
| Main Contractor: | Carters |
| Value: | £112k |
| System Size: | 120kWp |
| Estimated Annual Output: | 105021 kWh’rs |
First year confirmed generation: This installation is less than 1 year old however generation is ahead of predicted. Annual CO2 emission savings: 46,734 kg / Year.
DC20 Cambridge
Annual CO2 emission savings of 20,026kg per year
| Client/Project Title: | Cambridge Assessments DC 20 |
| Main Contractor: | Barnes |
| Value: | £67k |
| System Size: | 49.9kWp |
| Estimated Annual Output: | 45,002 kWh’rs |
| First year confirmed generation: | This installation is less than 1 year old however generation is ahead of predicted |
| Annual CO2 emission savings: | 20,026 kg / Year |
The PV installation was installed to a refurbished building, the array was installed to a metal trapezoidal roof avoiding the existing roof lights, the building has a high requirement for energy with very little kWh’rs being exported.
DC10 Cambridge
Annual CO2 emission savings of 20,624kg per year:
| Client/Project Title: | Cambridge Assessments DC 10 |
| Main Contractor: | DPL |
| Value: | £67k |
| System Size: | 49.9kWp |
| Estimated Annual Output: | 46,347 kWh’rs |
| First year confirmed generation: | This installation is less than 1 year old however generation is ahead of predicted |
| Annual CO2 emission savings: | 20,624kg / Year |
The contract was awarded to DPL by the client direct after a successful installation at DC 20, the installation had to be specifically designed and installed as our structural engineer had indicated weight limitations to the roof, further to this the DNO set an export
Limitation of 4 kWp, DPL designed and installed specific equipment to shut down the installation if the export limit was reached however this was highly unlikely as the energy requirement on site was high.
Annual Carbon emission savings were calculated using the Average Grid carbon intensity of 44g / kWh.
Wilson-Woods Barns
Consistently overperforming
| Generating Plant Size: | 3 solar generating plants @ 3.8kWhp each |
| Estimated Production: | 9,868.50kWh/year |
| Actual Production: | 10,038.45kWh/year |
| Panels: | ET Solar M572190 |
| Area: | 79.35m² |
| Inverter: | 3No. SMA SunnyBoy 3800 |
| Orientation: | 180 degrees |
| Inclination: | 2No. @ 20° and 1No. @ 32° |
This project was commissioned in November 2011 and was estimated to generate 9,868.50kWh per year. It has consistently over performed and in the first year and has generated over 10,000kWh.
In the first year, the earnings from the Feed in Tariff are in excess of £4,300.
Neil Bomford Haulage
Likely to over perform by 20%
| Generating Plant Size: | 1 solar generating plant @ 19.74kWp. |
| Estimated Production: | 17,325.00/year |
| Panels: | ET Solar P660235 |
| Area: | 141.57m² |
| Inverter: | EverSolar TLC17k |
| Orientation: | 200 degrees |
| Inclination: | 15 degrees |
This project was commissioned on 21st February 2012 and was estimated to generate 17,325.00kWh per year. It has consistently over performed and in the first 8 months and had generated 16,321kWh on 21st October 2012.
This system is likely to over perform by 20% at this rate of generation.
In the first eight months, the earnings from the Feed in Tariff are in excess of £5,300.
Saunder’s Farm
It has consistently performed
| Generating Plant Size: | 1 solar generating plant @ 14.80kWp. |
| Estimated Production: | 14,192.00kWh/year |
| Panels: | ET Solar P660235 |
| Area: | 107.01m² |
| Inverter: | 3No. SMA SunnyBoy 5000TL |
| Orientation: | 180 degrees |
| Inclination: | 30 degrees |
This project was commissioned in December 2011 and was estimated to generate 14,192kWh per year. It has consistently performed and in the first 11 months has generated over 13,500kWh.
This system is likely to over perform by 5% at this rate.
In the first eleven months, the earnings from the Feed in Tariff are in excess of £4,400.
