Solar PV Installation at Glan Llyn Primary School, Newport
1 Vision Solar partnered with CMBE to install a 14 kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system on the 91 m² roof of Glan Llyn Primary School in Newport. The project aimed to enhance the school's energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint.
System Components and Design
The installation utilised Renusol standing seam clamps for the mounting system. These clamps are designed to attach securely to the roof's standing seams without penetrating the roof surface, preserving its integrity and accommodating thermal expansion. The clamps are aligned and tightened appropriately to ensure stability and durability.
Installation Process
1 Vision Solar's team of MCS-accredited installers completed the project within a week, ensuring minimal disruption to the school's operations. The open-site location, free from surrounding trees, required careful calculations to account for maximum wind speeds and directions, ensuring the system's resilience and performance.
Environmental and Financial Impact
The solar PV system is projected to generate approximately 12,502 kWh of renewable energy annually, leading to an estimated reduction of 8,400 kg in CO₂ emissions each year. Financially, the system is expected to yield a return on investment of £37,506 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.
