Towards the end of last year, we made our second visit to Northgate Arena to complete the 153 kWp solar PV system. The system took around a week to install as it consisted of 340 x Longi Solar, LR4-72HPH-450M solar panels connected to half the amount of optimizers as they connect to two solar panels each. The strings were then connected to the 2 x Solar Edge 50K Manager inverters which were installed undercover inside the building.

The 153 kWp solar PV system is estimated to produce around 124.61 MWh of energy and save 29 tonnes of carbon emissions every year which is the equivalent of over 1,300 trees being planted. Brio Leisure is helping the environment massively by going solar at most of their leisure centre’s in Cheshire.

In early May 2022, We installed a huge 530 kWp solar PV system at Norbar Torque Services based in Banbury, Oxfordshire. The system consisted of a massive 1180 Longi solar panels as well as half the amount of P950 optimizers. We also installed two different types of inverters in this project as the system was so large, these inverters are the Solaredge 66.6k Manager and three  Solaredge 100k Managers.

The system is estimated to produce 464.78 MWh of energy every year, which will provide clean, green electricity for Norbar and support local community energy projects. The system is also helping the environment massively by reducing its carbon footprint by 108.29 tonnes, which is equivalent to 4,974 trees being planted.

Cheshire West and Chester Council have seen a significant boost towards its ambitious target date of 2030 to achieve carbon neutrality for the Council’s own emissions, as well as a carbon neutral borough by 2045. This is due to the recent efforts of our team to complete the installations of the solar PV systems in Cheshire.

Last year we completed the 270.12 kWp solar PV system for Winsford Lifestyle Centre, one of the many completed for Brio Leisure in the last year. The system consisted of 607 x Longi Solar, LR4-72HPH-445M solar panels which were installed on an SFLEX mounting system with half the amount of P950 optimizers to connect to two solar panels each. The last parts to complete the system were the 6 x SolarEdge 30K inverters which were installed inside the building and wired up to the PV arrays on the roof.

The 270.12 kWp system is estimated to generate 211.88 MWh of energy and save around 50 tonnes of carbon emissions every year, which is the equivalent to 2,267 trees being planted. The pie charts below are showing the system production and the consumption of the solar PV system at Winsford Lifestyle Centre. so for example the blue section on the left shows how much energy they use roughly every year and the dark green shows how much energy the PV system produces so the light green shows how much energy will be leftover and be exported to the grid.
