Solar PV Installation at Lancaster Street, London
1 Vision Solar collaborated with JW Morris to install a 9.5 kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system on a residential building along Lancaster Street in London. This project aimed to enhance the building's energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint.
System Components and Design
The installation comprised two 4.75 kWp systems, each consisting of 17 solar panels, totalling 34 panels. These were mounted using a 15° Valk flat roof system, a non-penetrative ballasted mounting solution that utilises ballast blocks to secure the panels without compromising the roof's integrity.
Given the building's characteristics, careful consideration was taken during the design phase to identify the most efficient locations for panel placement, mitigating potential shading issues and maximising energy generation.
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 8,778 kWh of renewable energy annually, leading to an estimated reduction of 5,700 kg in CO₂ emissions each year. Financially, the system is expected to yield a return on investment of £26,334 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.
