Customer: Edge Hill University, Life Science Building, Ormskirk, Lancashire
The team here at Greenlite Solar recently completed an impressive solar PV system installation at Edge Hill University’s new Life Science Building. This project showcases our commitment to sustainable energy solutions and demonstrates the significant benefits of solar power for educational institutions.
System Specifications:
Capacity: 97.4kW PV System
This substantial system size is well-suited for a large institutional building, providing a significant portion of its energy needs.
Solar Panels: 224 x 435W Jinko Panels
Jinko Solar is a quality manufacturer known for high-efficiency panels. The 435W rating per panel will maximizing energy production within the available roof space.
Inverter: 1 x SolaX 80kW Inverter
SolaX is a leading brand in solar inverter technology. The 80kW inverter is appropriately sized to handle the system’s output, ensuring optimal energy conversion from DC to AC power.
Estimated Annual Generation: 82,753 kWh
This impressive generation capacity will significantly reduce the university’s reliance on grid electricity, lowering both costs and carbon emissions.
Financial and Environmental Impact:
Estimated Payback Period: 4.6 years
The relatively short payback period demonstrates the economic viability of solar energy, even for large-scale installations.
Lifetime Savings (25 years): £703,709.80
Over the system’s expected lifespan, it will generate substantial savings on energy costs for the university, freeing up resources for other educational priorities.
Additional Benefits:
Environmental Impact: This system will significantly reduce the university’s carbon footprint by generating clean, renewable energy, contributing to its sustainability goals and setting an example for other institutions.
Energy Independence: The system enhances the university’s energy security by reducing reliance on the grid and protecting against future energy price fluctuations.
This investment in green technology can boost Edge Hill University’s reputation as an environmentally conscious and forward-thinking institution, potentially attracting environmentally aware students and faculty.
