Case Studies

In the space of just six weeks Southern Solar has completed the largest privately-owned solar photovoltaics installation in the UK. Situated on the roof of a poultry farm in Herefordshire, the 300kWp system features 1,600 solar PV panels covering 2,000m2 of south-facing roof.

A bungalow in North-East England has become the latest addition to the Sharp Solar family, after its owners decided to install a 3.96kW system. Mr Lloyd and Mrs Matterson of Murton, County Durham have invested £15,000 in the rooftop system, which is likely to reward them with annual savings to their electricity bill of nearly £200.

Last week SunConcept began the installation of a 75kW solar system for ACE Office Environments in Bournemouth. When completed on May 6, the new system will be one of the largest on the south coast.

Having operated in the renewable energy sector for over four years, KN Renewable Energy is well-versed in the installation of solar panels in the UK. The company, which specialises in the design, supply, installation and commissioning of all sizes of solar photovoltaic systems, has recently completed a social housing project in Croydon.

KN Renewable Energy, provider of Renewable Energy solutions within the built environment, operating throughout the UK and Ireland, has completed a 26.64kWp rooftop installation in London.  The company specializes in the design, supply, installation and commissioning of all sizes of solar photovoltaic systems from 1kWp to 5MWp, including building-integrated, ground, pitched and flat roof mounted solutions.

Mr and Mrs Reay’s 2.80kWp system was installed by Cleaner Air Solutions back in December 2009. The system, which utilises Sharp Solar panels and a Fronius inverter, has actually been over-performing since it was completed.

This 1.40kW system was installed by Cleaner Air Solutions, the largest distributor of sharp modules, for Mr and Mrs Beresford.

Abbey Fields Community Centre in Winchcombe was awarded £6,100 to go towards developing its solar power system. Tewkesbury Borough Council provided a second round of funding to help the Cotswold-based building to generate more than 8,000kWh of renewable electricity each year.

Last year we reported that Prince Charles had finally won the battle to install solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of his London residence, Clarence House. The Grade II listed building, which already covered almost a quarter of its electricity needs with renewable energy, now features 30 solar PV panels on its south facing roof.

This residential installation was completed by Evo Energy for Mr. Lindsay, who wanted to generate clean electricity and reduce the cost of living expenses.
