As part of their overall sustainability journey, Solgrid examined the credit union buildings energy consumption. They discovered that the installation of solar panels could offer both significant improvements in both energy efficiency, and also cut down significantly on the credit union's energy bills.
Solgrid Engineers designed and installed a 14.80kWp Solar PV roof mounted system across 71m2. The installation consisted of 37 Q-Cells Tier-1 business class panels with the market’s highest efficiency rating in excess of 21.3 %.
It is estimated that the system will produce approximately 13,704 kWh of renewable electricity per annum for the next 30 years, which represents approximately 23% of the company's overall annual usage.
Solgrids’ in-house team of skilled engineers, electricians, and ealth & safety specialists worked alongside the Project Team to manage the efficient installation from start to finish.
By providing a world-class turnkey solution, Solgrid was able to deliver the project on time and within budget, ensuring client satisfaction.
