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

Macclesfield Leisure Centre Solar PV Installation

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

Aldersey Green Golf Club 14.80 kWp

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.

Christleton Sports Centre’s new 59.20 kWp Solar PV System

Christleton Sports Centre’s new 59.20 kWp Solar PV System

Christleton Sports Centre Solar PV System

In November last year, we returned to Christleton Sports Centre to install a second Solar PV System for their sports centre due to them being impressed with the work of our first solar PV installation. The new system was built on the roof of the swimming pool which is one of the most used facilities at the sports centre. The PV system consisted of a huge 160 x Longi Solar, LR4-60HPH-370M solar panels with half the amount of P801 optimizers so they could connect to two solar panels each. We also installed a 3-phase SolarEdge 50K Manager inverter inside the building wired up to the system on the roof to complete the system.

All together the installed DC power of this system is 59.20 kWp which if you combine the power with the original system installed it is nearly reaching 160kWp. The system is estimated to produce 45.54 MWh of energy every year which will mainly be used to power to the swimming pool facilities such as the pool itself, lights, showers, etc. The system will save around 10.61 tonnes of Co2 emissions every calendar year, which is equivalent to 487 trees being planted.

Northwich Memorial Court – 101.70 kWp Solar PV System

Northwich Memorial Court – 101.70 kWp Solar PV System

Northwich Memorial Court Solar PV Installation

Towards the end of last year, we visited Northwich to install another Solar PV System for Brio Leisure at their Northwich Memorial Court campus. The 101.70 kWp system consisted of 226 x Longi Solar, LR4-72HPH-450M solar panels which were separated into 5 different sections on the roof of the leisure centre meaning that everywhere on the roof was now covered in solar panels. There are also 113 x P950 Optimizers which connects to 2 solar panels per one as well as 2 x SolarEdge 33.3K inverters as it is a large commercial system. It is estimated to produce 79.09 MWh of energy every year on top of what they already produce from the original system they got installed by a different company a few years back. They are not just having financial benefits from the installation as they will also be having environmental benefits because of the huge amount of Co2 emissions being saved. 18.43 tonnes to exact which is equivalent to over 800 trees being planted.

We owe a massive thanks to Qwest Services for their help in this installation as they helped our team retrieve the equipment on the roof by using a crane to lift them up on the sports centre.

The reason brio had this installation was to power the large amounts of gym equipment that will be running throughout the day as well as their huge swimming facility which will need the power to run the pool and all other general equipment outside the pool such as lights and showers. This installation will also save huge amounts of money on their monthly energy bills due to the recent rise in the UK.

The image shows two pie charts of the system production and consumption over a calendar year.
