Green Energy Solutions for Sustainable Business
Background
Law Print are a leading expert in the supply and management of packaging throughout the world. With client that include Morrisons, C&D Foods and Westland Garden Health. Reducing their carbon footprint and making a secure financial investment were a priority for all stakeholders.
The Challenge
Solar PV was included in this project to ensure low cost energy was provided to clients occupying the apartments. Facing rising energy costs, Irwell valley wanted to ensure their tenants would benefit from a more sustainable and financially secure energy source. They
were looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly solution.
The Solution
After a comprehensive assessment of their energy needs, our team recommended the
installation of a state-of-the-art commercial solar PV system. The system was custom designed to maximise energy production while minimising environmental impact.
Key Features of the Solar PV System
Capacity: 20 kWp
Components: High-efficiency solar panels, advanced inverters, and a robust pitched mounting system.
Location: Utilising in-roof mounting for aesthetic purposes in a heritage building.
Monitoring System: A sophisticated real-time monitoring system was implemented to track
energy production and identify any performance issues promptly.
Benefits
Energy Independence: The solar PV system now covers 27% of their energy needs, significantly reducing their reliance on the grid and providing long-term energy cost stability.
Environmental Impact: The system reduces CO2 emissions by almost 3.4 tons annually,
equivalent to planting over 130 trees each year.
Financial Savings: They are projected to save £10,876.60 per year in energy costs, with an
estimated payback period of just over 4.3 years.
Positive Brand Image: The transition to renewable energy has garnered positive attention from customers, stakeholders, and the community, enhancing Irwell Valleys reputation as an environmentally-conscious housing provider.
Maintenance and Support: Our team provides regular maintenance and performance checks to ensure the system operates at peak efficiency. A 25-year warranty covers the PV modules and a 7 year warranty covers the inverters. KAST offers 1 year workmanship warranty as standard that can be extended to 5 years along with a yearly servicing package for peace of mind.
