Macclesfield Leisure Centre

Macclesfield Leisure Centre Goes Solar

Back in the summer, we started various jobs in the Cheshire East mainly completing solar PV installations for Leisure Centres. This 119.25 kWp Solar PV System was installed for Macclesfield Leisure Centre to generate energy for the swimming pool and gym area as well as saving money on their electricity bills and becoming an eco-friendly leisure centre. The system was installed on the main roof of the building consisting 318 x Longi Solar, LR4-60HPH-375M solar panels which were split apart due to some vents on the roof. We also used 159 x P730 optimizers and 1 x 3 phase SolarEdge 82.8K inverter in this installation as a 3 phase is more suitable for commercial projects.

The system is estimated to produce 97.21 MWh of energy every year and saves 22.65 tonnes of carbon emissions which is equivalent to over a thousand trees.

Integrated Roof 5.25 kWp Solar PV System, Cheshire

Integrated Solar Installation Completed in Chester

This is one of the recent integrated roof installations we have completed close to our site in Chester. The customer was getting a new roof fitted and decided to get solar panels integrated into the roof before the roofers came to lay the slate around the solar panels. The solar PV system consisted of 14 x LG Electronics Inc., LG375N1K-E6 (Neon H Black) solar panels as well as the same amount of P401 optimizers and 1 X SolarEdge 3680H inverter.

The image above shows the amount of energy that the system is predicted to produce every month of the year which comes to an overall of 4.76 MWh The system will save around 1.11 tonnes of carbon emissions which is equivalent to 51 trees being planted.

Integrated Roof System

If you are a homeowner and want to generate your own electricity with solar technology, but you’ve been putting it off because you can’t add panels on top of your roof. A roof integrated solar PV system could be the solution for you.

Integrated solar panels are also referred to as in-roof solar panels. They are essentially the same as traditional solar panels which are installed on top of roof tiles, but these panels are integrated into the roof, i.e. they replace an area of your roof with no tiles underneath. Integrated solar panels are designed to be weatherproofed and to be as strong as normal roof tiles but also include the photovoltaic cells to generate electricity for your home.

Aldersey Green Golf Club

Aldersey Golf Club Goes Solar

Last week we made the short drive to Aldersey Golf Club to install the 14.80 kWp Solar PV System, which consisted of 40 JA Solar, JAM60S21-370 solar panels separated into 5 different areas to fit on the roofs of the clubhouse. There was also 1 P401 optimizer installed per panel to connect the system together. We installed a single phase SolarEdge 10K inverter in the clubhouse which was wired up to the roof to complete the system.

The 14.80 kWp Solar PV System is estimated to produce 11.84 MWh of energy every year, but this can vary due to the weather across the calendar year. Aldersey Golf Club will also be helping the environment and fighting climate change by reducing their carbon footprint by 2.76 tonnes every year which is equivalent to 127 trees being planted.

Home Goes Solar in St Helens

Powering Huyton Library with Clean, Renewable Energy

Over the past few weeks, we have been installing various renewable technologies for a home in St Helens. We installed a 5.28 kWp Solar PV System on the roof of the back of the house as the owner had a solar PV system already installed on the front of the house previously. The system consisted of 16 JA Solar, JAM60S17-330 solar panels which have an efficiency of 19.6%. We also required the same amount of SolarEdge P401 optimizers to connect to each solar panel and one SolarEdge 5000H Inverter which was installed in the outer house. The system is estimated to produce 3.34 MWh of energy every year and saves around 778.06kg of carbon emissions which is equivalent to 36 trees.

The customer’s solar PV system was installed for family domestic use, mainly for the tumble dryer which is used 4-5 times a day, and their five air conditioners in the house. They also need solar energy to power the two Zappi EV Chargers we installed so they can charge their electric vehicles before setting off on a journey.

Quote from the customer

“Genfit is outstanding in every aspect of their service delivery from first contact to follow up after installation. Experts in their field and I am happy to highly recommend their services. Worth every penny paid. Well done Genfit team! A delight to deal with”

Why They Chose Solar?

Apart from a moral obligation towards our children’s futures in cutting green house gases, energy is central to my quality of life. Energy prices will go one way only, that is upwards. Implementing measures to be as near possible to energy independent is the smart thing to do now.

Christleton Sports Centre’s Upgrade

Doubling Down on Solar

In November last year, we returned to Christleton Sports Centre to install a second Solar PV System for their sports centre due to them being impressed with the work of our first solar PV installation. The new system was built on the roof of the swimming pool which is one of the most used facilities at the sports centre. The PV system consisted of a huge 160 x Longi Solar, LR4-60HPH-370M solar panels with half the amount of P801 optimizers so they could connect to two solar panels each. We also installed a 3-phase SolarEdge 50K Manager inverter inside the building wired up to the system on the roof to complete the system.

All together the installed DC power of this system is 59.20 kWp which if you combine the power with the original system installed it is nearly reaching 160kWp. The system is estimated to produce 45.54 MWh of energy every year which will mainly be used to power to the swimming pool facilities such as the pool itself, lights, showers, etc. The system will save around 10.61 tonnes of Co2 emissions every calendar year, which is equivalent to 487 trees being planted.

Christleton Sports Centre

Christleton Sports Centre is the perfect place in the community to get active. The gym and fitness class timetable offer plenty of variety, and the pool provides a range of swimming sessions as well as lessons for all ages. The sports hall and 3G pitch are also available for bookings, making it a versatile hub for both individuals and local groups.

Beyond its facilities, the centre plays an important role in supporting health, wellbeing, and community engagement across the area. From school activities and club training to casual fitness and family swimming, it caters to a wide range of users throughout the week.

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability and reducing its environmental impact, Christleton Sports Centre has also invested in renewable energy. The addition of solar PV systems helps generate clean electricity on-site, supporting the day-to-day running of energy-intensive facilities such as the swimming pool, while reducing both carbon emissions and long-term energy costs.
