Genfit recently returned to Finest Aquatics in Widnes to complete an upgraded solar PV system installation, taking their existing setup to the next level. The original installation featured LONGi panels and provided a solid foundation for reducing grid reliance, but as the business continued to grow, so did its energy needs. To support this, we installed an upgraded 101.37 kWp system using more LONGi panels, integrated seamlessly into the existing SolarEdge system for optimised performance and monitoring.

This upgrade significantly boosts the site’s solar generation capacity, giving Finest Aquatics even more control over their energy usage and operational costs. With high electricity demand from water filtration systems, lighting, heating, and general operations across the facility, the expanded system helps offset a substantial portion of this load. By generating more of their own clean electricity on-site, the business can reduce its energy bills and carbon footprint simultaneously—strengthening its environmental credentials while supporting long-term sustainability goals.

The use of DMEGC panels in this phase of the installation offered a high-efficiency solution that complements the existing infrastructure. The SolarEdge system continues to provide detailed performance data across both phases, allowing the team at Finest Aquatics to track their solar energy production in real-time. This upgraded system not only supports the day-to-day running of the business but also helps future-proof it against rising energy prices—offering a solid return on investment both financially and environmentally.
