Large Ground Array in AONB – Broad Campden

Broad Campden -Large Ground Array in AONB Client Brief: The client required a high-performance solar and battery solution to deliver long term energy reliability while significantly reducing electricity costs. Due to the property being Grade I listed and situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), roof-mounted solar installations were not permitted. The challenge was to design a system that complied with strict planning constraints while still meeting the client’s energy demands. Project Design & Final Configuration: Following a detailed site survey, a ground-mounted solar array was identified as the optimal solution. The system was carefully integrated into the garden to minimise visual impact, with an external cabinet installed to house the battery storage and associated equipment. Final system configuration: 98 × Perlight NTA Double Glass 455W solar panels 3 × 10 kW SolarEdge Home Hub inverters 3 × 13.8 kWh battery storage units   Due to local DNO (Distribution Network Operator) constraints, export capacity was limited to 25 kWh Impact & Results:   Over 27,000 kWh of clean energy generated since installation Approximately 65% of generated energy exported back to the grid 88% reduction in grid reliance, with just 22% of electricity imported over the first 11 months.   This solution successfully balanced planning restrictions with performance, delivering substantial cost savings and long-term energy independence for the client.

Agricultural Case Study – Cheltenham

Agricultural Battery Installation Client Brief: The client wanted to install as much solar capacity as possible on their agricultural building. During the initial consultation and subsequent application to the National Grid, it became clear that system size was constrained due to Distribution Network Operator (DNO) limitations. Project Design & Final Configuration: Over the last six months of operation, the system has: Generated 5.65 MWh of clean energyReduced grid dependence by over 50%Exported more than 2,000 kWh back to the gridAvoided over 2 tons of coal, equivalent to 2.6 tons of CO₂ emissions prevented Impact & Results: Over the last six months of operation, the system has: Generated 5.65 MWh of clean energy. Reduced grid dependence by over 50% Exported more than 2,000 kWh back to the grid. Avoided over 2 tons of coal, equivalent to 2.6 tons of CO₂ emissions prevented.   This installation demonstrates how tailored solar solutions can maximise self-consumption, reduce energy costs, and contribute to sustainable energy goals, even within grid limitations.

Solar Car Port Installation – Batsford

Solar Car Port Installation Client Brief: Following initial consultations, careful consideration was required to identify a suitable location for a solar installation that would respect the aesthetic and sensitive nature of the site. The client wanted a solution that would significantly reduce energy costs across a large site, while also complementing the existing environment. Project Design & Final Configuration: Working in collaboration with a local structural engineer and fabricator, an innovative  90-metre solar carport was designed and constructed along the centre of the existing car park. This was complemented by additional solar panels installed on a new staff building, maximising on-site generation without compromising the visual integrity of the location. Final system configuration: 270 × Meyer Burger Glass 380W solar panels (installed across the carport and staff building) SolarEdge 90 kW inverter Export limited to 50 kW in line with grid constraints Impact & Results: Over 65,000 kWh of clean energy generated in the last 12 months Approximately 96% of energy consumed on-site, with just 4% exported Around 25% of total site energy demand now met through solar generation significantly reducing overall energy costs across the site This innovative carport solution demonstrates how renewable energy can be seamlessly integrated into sensitive environments, delivering substantial financial and sustainability benefits without compromising site aesthetics.
