Insight Into a Recent Commercial Project
This is a recent commercial project completed in Guildford. This system was designed and installed to maximise the ROI from the grant funding that this community centre received. If you are interested in how a solar and battery system can benefit your business or local community centre then check out the details below!
This system cut the QE Park Centres electricity bills in half!
System Overview:
For this project, we installed a 29.3kWp system with 32.61kWh of battery storage. The battery storage in the project is primarily designed to enable additional savings by charging overnight at off-peak prices.
- Panels: 63 x Aiko Neostar All Black 465W S2.
- Inverter: SolarEdge SE30K inverter with S440 voltage optimisers and trackers.
- Battery: 7 x FoxESS EQ4800 battery stack and 10 kW AC coupled inverter.
- Extras: Bird Mesh protection was installed to protect the panels and wiring from ant unwanted pests
System statistics:
The goals of any commercial solar and battery installation are to maximise financial savings while decreasing the building's environmental impact. Here are some of the key statistics of how this installation achieves these two things.
1. Site Survey
The first step is a site visit with you!
We understand that each commercial building is different and therefore needs a system designed to best serve the unique needs of the building and its occupants.
We want to work with you to design a system that fits your energy needs but first we need to understand them. During this time, we will answer all your questions so that you feel you can make an informed decision.
2. System Design
We design a bespoke system for you that maximises what you are looking for at the best possible cost.
Bespoke is usually a word associated with high, unnecessary costs, however for us, it means an attention to detail.
Whether you are looking for a system with shorter payback periods and lower upfront cost or a more premium system with panel-level optimisation and lower lifetime costs, we are here to design you a solar and battery system that helps meet your goals.
3. Funding options
Our funding partnership helps you start saving now!
When it comes to cutting energy costs and reducing your organisation's carbon emissions, choosing solar and energy-efficiency equipment makes sense.
With Smart Ease Payment Plans for solar panels, storage and other equipment, you can start saving instantly, take control of electricity costs and move towards sustainability goals.
Long-term Partnership
Solar PV systems are an ideal long-term investment due to how they are pretty much set and forget! However, through the lifetime of your PV system, you can rest assured that we will be there to identify and solve any issues you face, suggest upgrades or improvements and make sure that your investment is being maximised.
System Monitoring & Maintenance
Although it can be fun to spend hours in your system monitoring app looking at how much your new solar PV system is saving you, we know this isn't what everyone wants to spend their time doing.
So you can rest assured that we will keep tabs on your system to make sure any issues are noticed, addressed and brought to your attention so that your investment is running at maximum capacity.
Reviews & Improvements
As your energy usage changes and we get more data on how you are using your system, we can review your system and make recommendations on how to maximise your return on investment.
Whether this is an increase in battery storage, more regularly panel cleaning or additional panels we can guide you on what would be best.
This is an important step as it is often hard to predict exactly how your solar and battery system will fit with your buildings energy demands especially as they change and evolve.
Technical Support & Guidance
How your system works with your energy tariff will play a big part in your electricity bill savings. However, without being able to model and compare the different options, it can be difficult to determine which option is best for you.
Fortunately, we are here to help you with this, making sure you are getting the most from your solar PV and battery system.
We are also always available to talk through any technical questions you have.
