Customer: TopFit Health, Blackpool, Lancashire
Greenlite Solar has recently completed another project, installing a combined Solar PV and Battery Storage system at TopFit Health in Blackpool. Topfit Health Products is a family-run business with over 40 years of experience in manufacturing vitamins, minerals, supplements and sports nutrition.
System Specifications:
Solar PV System Capacity: 25.8kW
This sizeable system is well-suited for a commercial facility like TopFit Health, providing a significant portion of their energy needs.
Solar Panels: 60 x 430W Jinko Panels
Jinko Solar is known for its high-quality, efficient panels. The 430W rating per will maximize energy production within the available space.
Inverter: 1 x SolaX 20K Hybrid Inverter
SolaX is a market leader in solar inverter technology. The 20K hybrid inverter is designed to manage both the solar PV system and the battery storage, ensuring seamless integration and optimal energy flow.
Battery Storage: 1 x 7.5kWh Stacked Battery Storage
This battery system allows TopFit Health to store excess energy generated during the day for use during peak hours or when solar production is low, further enhancing energy independence.
Estimated Annual Generation: 18,850kWh
This impressive generation capacity will significantly reduce TopFit Health’s reliance on grid electricity, lowering both costs and carbon emissions.
Financial and Environmental Impact:
Estimated Energy Coverage: 52%
The system is projected to cover more than half of TopFit Health’s energy needs, significantly reducing their dependence on the grid.
Estimated Payback Period: 5 years
The relatively short payback period demonstrates the economic viability of this combined solar and battery storage solution.
Lifetime Savings (25 years): £298,640
Over the system’s expected lifespan, it will generate substantial savings on energy costs for TopFit Health, improving its bottom line and freeing up resources for other business priorities.
Additional Benefits:
- Energy Independence: The combination of solar PV and battery storage gives TopFit Health greater energy security, reducing its vulnerability to grid outages and energy price fluctuations.
- Peak Demand Management: The battery storage system can help manage peak energy demand, potentially reducing demand charges and further lowering electricity costs.
- Environmental Impact: This system will significantly reduce TopFit Health’s carbon footprint by generating clean, renewable energy, contributing to its sustainability goals.
