Challenge
The new UPS London Hub was being built at London Gateway and needed to meet its BREAM standards for sustainability.
Solution
Consultation
We were sub-contracted as installers by Ecolution who led the consultation on this project.
Detailed design
- Designs were completed by Ecolution
- A safe system of installation was planned to get over 1000 solar panels onto the roof and installed
- String layouts were designed that reduced cable lengths and improved efficiency
Installation and handover
Our commercial solar team installed a 280 kWh system on time and within budget.
Technologies
Inverters: Kaco
Panels: 270WP monocrystalline
Results
The UPS London Hub solar PV system has reduced running costs, lowered its carbon footprint, and contributed to helping UPS to meet the standards for BREAM certification
Installing PV panels at the build stage often makes installation much easier and cost-effective.
