This solar installation was completed by Solar Technologies on the Brockhill site, which is a warden-assisted residential home for the elderly. The accommodation comprises of a number of self-contained flats set out over two floors with common areas and facilities.
The photovoltaic installation consists of 970 Solar Laminates retro-fit mounted onto a sloping tiled roof (approximately 35 degrees), using a galvanised steel channel support system, making it an 'on-roof' installation. The support system is attached to the roof's timber sub-structure through a number of galvanised steel hook brackets fitted under the existing tiles attached to the main structural rafters.
The existing tiles have been replaced leaving a weather proof roof. The 82kWp installation is electrically connected to the Woking Council's private wire-way via the building supply.
