Cheltenham, UK: Mypower has completed its largest single-rooftop solar PV system with the installation of just under 4,000 panels with a peak output of 1.65MW.
The client, a South Wales based business, requires around 1.6M kWh of electricity each year to run, so a sizeable system was needed to make a significant impact on operating costs and carbon footprint.
The solar PV system will provide nearly 40% of the site’s annual electricity needs plus provide a healthy income from energy exported to the grid. The renewable electricity is generated at the equivalent of 5p/kWh compared to the grid price of approximately 20p/kWh and will cut this client’s CO2 emissions by 260 tonnes each year.
If a business is spending upwards of £30,000 a year on electricity its highly likely that a solar PV system could take a sizeable chunk out of this spend while helping reduce carbon emissions, Mypower says.
