Here are a few installation projects Solus Energy has completed recently
Farmfield Hospital built an extension to help younger acute patients locally with 12 bedrooms and support services including communal leaving and schooling in a single place.
From the outset the goal was to reach the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) Environmental and Sustainability Standard, which is holistic approach to achieving ESG, health and net zero goals. As part of meeting BREEAM, the extension included a solar energy system, heat pumps for heating and hot water plus EV charging points.
For the solar energy system, as can been seen from the photos there is space for a larger system, an optimum solution balancing the buildings requirements, BREEAM and budget was reached for a 10kWp system with the provision to expand in future as energy depends change.
The single inverter was combined with the heat pumps to provide heating, cooling and hot water controlled by demand as well as the lighting and other electrical services within the building.
New modular housing scheme required an EPC A rating to get through planning so each house is fitted with 3kWp of solar panels with a 3.6kW inverter which also gave the houses G98 certification for the DNO (Distribution Network Operator). The panels are also protected underneath using bird mesh to stop nesting and other activities interfering with the solar panels efficient and reliable operation.
The straightforward installation took two days to complete from start to commissioning and each property received MCS certification.
Farmfield Hospital built a new wing for acute patients incorporating solar panels to help with the energy use in the unit. To provide a flatter generation profile extending further into the early morning and later evening the generation was arrays were split, one facing south east to make more of the morning sunlight and the other south west for the evening sun.
Although the solar panel arrangement does not generate as much peak energy in the expected narrow bell curve top, the flatter profile with extended sides provides more energy overall. Another advantage is a smaller inverter can be used as it does not need the ability to process the narrow peak of generation with the added benefit of working longer more efficiently throughout the day.
