Solar PV Installation at Egham Hill Student Accommodation, London
1 Vision Solar collaborated with JW Morris to install a 3.3 kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system on the flat roof of a student accommodation building on Egham Hill, London. The project aimed to enhance the building's energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint.
System Components and Design
The installation comprised 13 solar panels, each rated at 270 W, mounted using a specialist 10° non-penetrative system. This design optimises the panels' exposure to sunlight, thereby maximising energy generation. The mounting system preserves the roof's integrity while providing a secure and efficient setup.
Installation Process
1 Vision Solar's team of MCS-accredited installers completed the project within three days, ensuring minimal disruption to the residents. The efficient installation process underscores the team's commitment to delivering high-quality renewable energy solutions promptly.
Environmental and Financial Impact
The solar PV system is projected to generate approximately 2,957 kWh of renewable energy annually, leading to an estimated reduction of 1,980 kg in CO₂ emissions each year. Financially, the system is expected to yield a return on investment of £8,871 over 20 years, demonstrating the economic benefits of adopting renewable energy solutions.
This project exemplifies 1 Vision Solar's dedication to providing tailored renewable energy solutions that meet clients' specific needs, contributing to environmental sustainability and operational cost savings.
