Vast 85,000 sq ft trapezoidal metal roof on a portal-frame distribution depot with local 250kW grid export restriction imposed by the regional DNO.

Turnkey Engineering Solution:

Engineered an aerodynamic non-penetrative clamp array paired with a certified G100 export-curtailment system. Surplus daytime generation was diverted into 16 new 22kW depot EV charging bays for the fleet delivery vans, achieving 82% on-site self-consumption.

Manufacturing & Factories

Precision Heavy Engineering Plant, South Yorkshire

Amortised Payback 3.4 Years
Installed Capacity 620 kWp 1410 Tier-1 Panels
Annual Generation 576,000 kWh ~900 kWh/kWp specific yield
Annual Cost Avoidance £142,000 / yr Behind-the-meter retail displacement
Scope 2 Carbon Offset 121 Tonnes Annual greenhouse gas reduction
Inverter & Electrical Topology:

6x 100kW Inverters integrated into private 11kV Substation

Primary Operational Challenge:

Intense daytime motor and induction furnace electrical loads generating heavy reactive power demands and facing high non-commodity DUoS/TNUoS charges.

Turnkey Engineering Solution:

Installed 620kWp of high-efficiency monocrystalline solar modules with built-in power-factor correction. System achieves 94% daytime self-consumption behind the meter, cutting peak grid import by 38% and qualifying for 100% Year-1 AIA tax deduction.

Cold Storage & Food Plants

Chilled Food Processing & Distribution Facility, East Anglia

Amortised Payback 3.1 Years
Installed Capacity 850 kWp 1930 Tier-1 Panels
Annual Generation 815,000 kWh ~900 kWh/kWp specific yield
Annual Cost Avoidance £212,000 / yr Behind-the-meter retail displacement
Scope 2 Carbon Offset 171 Tonnes Annual greenhouse gas reduction
Inverter & Electrical Topology:

8x 100kW Inverters with Module-Level Rapid Shutdown

Primary Operational Challenge:

Massive daytime refrigeration compressor cooling loads spiking during summer afternoons, requiring zero cleanroom disruption during food manufacturing operations.

Turnkey Engineering Solution:

Deployed an insulated roof-safe ballasted array designed to match the refrigeration load curve. The installation achieves 96.5% direct on-site self-consumption, delivering one of the fastest capital payback profiles in the commercial clean energy sector.

Agriculture & Farming

Modern Commercial Dairy & Grain Agribusiness, Somerset

Amortised Payback 4.8 Years
Installed Capacity 180 kWp 410 Tier-1 Panels
Annual Generation 168,000 kWh ~900 kWh/kWp specific yield
Annual Cost Avoidance £38,500 / yr Behind-the-meter retail displacement
Scope 2 Carbon Offset 35 Tonnes Annual greenhouse gas reduction
Inverter & Electrical Topology:

3x 50kW Ammonia-Resistant Inverters with Rural Transformer Synchronisation

Primary Operational Challenge:

Energy-intensive automated robotic milking parlour chillers and seasonal grain-drying fans operating on a constrained rural distribution transformer.

Turnkey Engineering Solution:

Installed ammonia-resistant certified solar modules across two south-facing modern agricultural grain stores. Utilised the 25% Defra Improving Farm Productivity grant to lower upfront capex, insulating operating margins against rural power price volatility.
