Installation process
The process began with thorough planning, including site surveys and approvals. Scaffolding was set up ahead of schedule to ensure smooth progress. Roofers Eddie Friel, Luke Crimmins, and Joe Freeman worked diligently to install the panels across two units, ensuring precision and high-quality workmanship. The system was fully operational by the end of September, ready to deliver reliable renewable energy.
Hardware details
The installation included JA 410W black-frame solar panels and 2 Solis 15kW S5 3-phase dual MPPT inverters. These components were selected for their performance, durability, and compatibility with commercial applications.
Environmental and financial impact
The installed system is expected to generate an impressive 15,410kWh annually per unit, reducing The Ceramic Tile Company’s dependency on traditional energy sources. The upfront cost of £44,230 was met through an outright purchase, ensuring immediate savings and a strong return on investment over the system’s lifetime.
Conclusion
Chiltern Solar delivered a high-quality solution tailored to The Ceramic Tile Company’s energy needs, enhancing sustainability and cost-efficiency. This project demonstrates the potential of commercial solar installations to create long-term benefits for businesses.
