The Project
To further increase SAP scores, 90 dwellings were retrofitted with solar PV. The properties had already benefitted from having air source heat pumps installed, so have had their energy efficiency increased further with the addition of the solar panels to help reduce running costs.
The Installation
The solar pv systems installed included; Jinko Tiger Neo 54c 420w N-Type all black mono solar panels, Fox ESS S200-G2 inverters and Xiamen Fastensol mounting systems. Manufacturer product warranties for the panels and inverters were 10 years and a 2-year labour and workmanship warranty from Osborne Energy. A full handover was provided to the client.
The Carbon Savings
72.94 Tonnes saved
That’s the equivalent of planting 2261 trees every year!
The Result
There has been an increase in the efficiency of all dwellings through self generation from the solar PV.
Only 18 dwellings remain in SAP banding D&E, with the remaining increasing to C,B & A rating.
