Solar PV Installation at JW Bowkett’s New Offices in Newport
1 Vision Solar partnered with JW Bowkett to install a 29.4 kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system on their newly constructed office building in Newport. This project aimed to enhance the building's energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint.
System Components and Design
The installation comprised 104 solar panels covering approximately 179 m² of roof space. A non-penetrative ballasted mounting system from Van Der Valk was employed, featuring a 10° tilt to optimise solar exposure and energy generation.
1 Vision Solar utilised PVSol software for system design, enabling precise calculations of installed power, DC/AC ratios, and projected energy output. This approach ensured a tailored solution that maximised efficiency and performance.
Installation Process
The MCS-accredited installation team completed the project within five days, ensuring minimal disruption to the client's operations. The efficient installation process underscores the team's commitment to delivering high-quality renewable energy solutions promptly.
Environmental and Financial Impact
The solar PV system is projected to generate approximately 25,490 kWh of renewable energy annually, leading to an estimated reduction of 17,640 kg in CO₂ emissions each year. Financially, the system is expected to yield a return on investment of £76,470 over 20 years, demonstrating the economic benefits of adopting renewable energy solutions.
This project exemplifies 1 Vision Solar's dedication to providing tailored renewable energy solutions that meet clients' specific needs, contributing to environmental sustainability and operational cost savings.
