“Topform is one of the largest Kitchen worktop manufacturers in the world, we consume so much electricity we have our own ESB substation on site. I needed a company I could trust to implement a sustainable energy solution. Solgrid for me were the complete package of knowledge, quality and support that I needed. A solar installation of our size was going to be disruptive, but the thing that impressed me most about Solgrid was the professionalism of the people who installed our system and the human way they worked with us, we found them extraordinarily easy to work with.”
Following an in-depth energy analysis, Solgrid determined that Topform’s energy demand was significant enough to justify the investment in a PV Solar energy system to supplement their energy requirements.
Solgrid Engineers designed and installed a large-scale 232 kWp Solar PV roof-mounted system, encompassing five different roof sections across an area of 1,104m2. The installation consisted of 470 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 193,348 kW hours of renewable electricity per annum for the next 30 years, which represents approximately 21% of the company’s overall annual usage.
Gary Dolan Solgrid’s Engineering Project Manager managed the project from end to end together with Solgrid’s in-house team of highly skilled Engineers, Electricians and Health & Safety specialists. Solgrid were able to provide Topform with a world-class turnkey solution to ensure the project was delivered on time and within budget.
