GB Solar Case Study
Mr Alston, Sheffield
Project Summary
GB Solar are proud to present an overview of this 39.48kWp system, installed on an exceptional property in Sheffield.
We were pleased to have been contacted by our client, who was making significant investment and renovations to his existing property. As part of ongoing works, our client was keen to incorporate a Solar PV system onto the large existing flat roof. The PV system would significantly support a home which had high electricity usage, including an air source heat pump and multiple tech systems.
GB Solar put together a detailed proposal and system design to present to our client, along with a site visit to fully understand the scale and logistics of the proposed system. Our recommendation was a 39.5kWp Solar PV system tailored to the Mr Alston's specific needs. This system comprised 84 high-efficiency 470Watt Aiko Energy Solar panels and a SolarEdge 33.3kW inverter with power optimizers. SolarEdge power optimizers were incorporated into the system to optimize energy production from each panel, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance, particularly useful for those panels which experienced some slight shading from nearby trees.
This system is expected to have significant energy generation.... 28,451kWh of electricity annually, covering 47% of the property's total energy consumption. With an impressive 60% self-consumption rate, the client will enjoy a substantial 40% reduction in electricity bills. This translates to significant savings over the system's lifespan, and an impressive ROI rate.
The GB Solar installation team were on site for 5 days in total, undertaking the necessary roofing and electrical works. The solar panels were mounted using Esdec, and installed on the large N/W facing flat roof. With each panel benefiting from a SolarEdge power optimizer, we can also guarantee that on the rare occasion of any panel faults, we are able to diagnose the exact panel immediately. Our electricians worked hard to ensure the three-phase inverter was installed neatly and safely - which is fully operational in the property's plant room.
GB Solar ensures a full handover is given to our customers, once their system is fully commissioned and live. This included a walk through of the system on site, access to the SolarEdge portal and ongoing GB Solar support if required. Our staff in the office ensured that we had full DNO approval for the 39.5kWp system prior to installation, and notified the DNO upon commissioning. Our handover pack includes all electrical certification, including stringing reports, building control, NICEIC certification and MCS.
