250kWp Solar Installation for Boys and Boden, Chester

Genfit installed a 250kWp solar array for Boys and Boden, Chester, a large building materials superstore. The installation was spread over multiple buildings on the site and they are also looking to install future renewable technologies from us for their other sites across the UK.

PV system was created on SolarEdge designer so we could figure out how many solar panels we could fit on each particular building as well as linking them up on the electrical side of the installation to connect to the inverters to the solar panels.

The system was made up of a huge 923 x BYD270P6C-30 solar panels, 461 x P600 optimizer and 8 x SolarEdge 27.6K inverter which will be saving 199,277.38 kg of CO2 emissions and is equivalent to 9,121.85 trees being planted. The Energy produced from the solar panels over the whole of last year came to a massive 228.17 MWh.

Brio Christleton Sports Centre

Powering Christleton High School with Clean, Renewable Energy

Christleton Sports Centre, near Chester, is part of the BRIO chain of leisure facilities, and a joint use venue with Christleton High School.

As part of a collaboration with CCEL (Chester Community Energy Ltd), CWAC (Cheshire West & Chester Council) and BRIO leisure, GenFit installed a 59.94 kWp Solar PV Array on the sports hall roof.

The Solar PV system was community funded via CCEL’s Co-operative share offer with the leisure centre purchasing the generated energy, at a reduced rate than from their current electricity provider, from CCEL through a power purchase agreement (PPA).

The array is projected to generate approximately 50.65 MWh of energy and provide a saving of roughly 14.045 tonnes of CO2 per year. The vast majority of energy generated by the PV array will be used on-site due to the large base load of the facility.

Shavington Leisure Centre

Powering Leisure Sustainably in the North West

This 83.25 kWp solar PV system is one of the many installations we have done in the North West for Everybody Leisure recently. The solar PV system took place on top of one of the sports hall roofs and consisted of a huge 222 x LR4-60HPH-375M solar panels with 111 x P730 optimizers connecting to two solar panels each. We installed one SolarEdge 82.8K inverter inside the leisure centre which was then wired up through the roof to connect to the solar panels. This installation has saved 19 tones of CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to 873 trees, making the leisure centre eco-friendly and set up perfectly for the future.

Sandbach Leisure Centre

Sandbach Leisure Centre Goes Solar

Another one of Everybody Sport & Recreation leisure centres have gone solar. This time at Sandbach Leisure Centre made up of 207 x Longi Solar, LR4-72HPH-450M solar panels with 104 x Solar Edge P950 optimizer which is connected to two solar panels each. We also installed 1 x SolarEdge 82.8K inverter which completed 93.15 kWp system. This system is predicted to produce around 74.86 MWh of energy every year, according to SolarEdge Designer and will be saving 21.04 tones of CO2 emissions which is equivalent to 966 trees being planted.

Why Going Solar Can Help Your Leisure Centre

Going solar can really help a leisure centre as they have to power a huge amount of electronic fitness equipment throughout the day and in some cases day and night as some are open 24/7 for people who can’t make it at usual peak times for whatever reason. This means there needs to be a constant supply of power to the leisure centre at all times, which solar energy can do because you can store your generated energy.

Salesbury Church of England School – Blackburn

Solar Power Installed at Salesbury Church of England School

In the summer we traveled up to Blackburn to install a 46.72 kWp solar PV system for one of the local schools (Salesbury Church of England School). The 128 x 365W Mono MBB Percium Half-Cell All Black solar panels were separated across 4 different roofs as the size of the system required would not fit onto one roof as the dimensions were not big enough. There were 64 x P801 optimizers that connected to two solar panels each. They were all wired up to the SolarEdge30K which was installed inside the school away from students. The energy that the system will produce annually is predicted to be around 34.65 MWh. The system isn’t just saving money on their electricity bills but they are also helping the environment by lowering their carbon footprint. The system will be saving around 8.07 tonnes of Co2 emmisons which is equivalent to planting 371 trees.

What is it Producing?

Above you can see two pie charts, the one on the left shows the amount of energy production the system is getting from the arrays and the one on the right shows the total energy consumption of the school per year so by seeing this you can gather that the school will be saving just over half the money on their electricity bills per year.
