Project Overview
Chiltern Solar proudly partnered with NEC to design and install a cutting-edge 63.37kWp solar PV system at their premises in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. This ambitious project aimed to reduce energy costs, increase sustainability, and decrease reliance on the National Grid. The system was tailored to the site’s unique energy demands, featuring top-tier equipment to ensure long-term performance and efficiency.
Timeline
The journey began with a detailed quote sent on 11th June 2023, followed by NEC’s order confirmation on 30th June. The roof installation phase was completed by 16th August, and the system was successfully commissioned on 9th November 2023, marking the project’s completion.
Hardware and System Design
The installation included 154 JA Solar 405 panels, known for their high efficiency and reliability, paired with a Solis 50kW three-phase inverter. This combination ensures optimal energy conversion and seamless operation for a system size of 63.37kWp.
Installation Team
The project brought together a skilled team:
