The innovative design incorporating several renewable energy technologies to meet the carbon dioxide obligations set for the project includes a large south facing solar PV system on the Sports Hall Roof comprising 130 185Wp PV panels and four SMA 6000A inverters.

The PV is mounted within the Solion Sunmount mounting system in order to reduce the ballasting requirements of the non-penetrating array, with all units linking together with ballast only around the perimeter to prevent uplift of the edges.

The total size of the system is 24.05kWp, with an estimated annual output of at least 17,950kWh, displacing over 10 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year and generating a sizable income from the newly introduced Feed-In Tariff.

System description:

  • Footprint of Array 308 sq m.
  • 130 Sharp NU185 Monocrystalline Photovoltaic modules, each with a nominal output of 185Wp.
  • Total array 24.05kWp.
  • 130 Solion Sunmount mounting system.
  • Total weight of array 4480kg.
  • Total annual electricity output anticipated to be in excess of 17,950kWh.
