Shavington Leisure Centre – 83.25 kWp

Shavington Leisure Centre – 83.25 kWp

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 – 93.15 kWp Solar PV System

Sandbach Leisure Centre – 93.15 kWp Solar PV System

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.

Sandbach Leisure Centre

Sandbach Leisure Centre opened in January 1976 and is situated just outside Sandbach town centre, the centre is equipped to provide health, fitness and social activities to suit everyone. They have a wide range of fitness classes, a 25 metre swimming pool, the Everybody fitness suite, squash courts and much more.

Salesbury Church of England School – Blackburn

Salesbury Church of England School – Blackburn

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.

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.

Macclesfield Leisure Centre – 119.25 kWp Solar PV System

Macclesfield Leisure Centre – 119.25 kWp Solar PV System

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.

Aldersey Green Golf Club 14.80 kWp Solar PV System

Aldersey Green Golf Club 14.80 kWp Solar PV System

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.
