This 306.61 kWp is our largest solar PV installation of the year so far and looking to top this as the year goes on. We have entered this installation into 250k+ project category at the Energy Effiicency Awards 2022 and hoping it can come out on top. The system consists of a huge 689 x Longi Solar, LR4-72HPH-445M solar panels, 345 x P950 optimizers and 6 x SolarEdge 33.3K inverters which is used to power the gym and swimming pool facilities.

No matter how big or small your business is there are benefits from solar energy for everyone!. If you have a good range of roof space on your commercial property installing a solar PV system can be an extremely good investment as you will make money back in the long run as well as save money on your current electricity bills. It’s not just beneficial financially, you can also help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.

Another positive about solar energy is that you can store your energy and then use it when it is suitable for you. an example of when to use solar energy could be at a time of a power cut which has happened a lot in different parts of the country this week due to storm Eunice. So this can give bussinesses with a solar PV system on their site an advantage over other competitors without a solar PV system as they could be without power for a number of days depending on how bad the weather is.

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.
