Benefits?

• By switching to solar energy, Great British Kitchens are now saving 46% of their energy bills, thanks to the generation of renewable energy.

• The Solar Edge Optimisers makes it quicker and more efficient to find faults if an issue arises. This makes it easier for our team to investigate the fault, and get the system back up and running, ensuring no more energy if wasted.
• The bird protection installed around the edge of the solar panels protect the strings from animal nests and faeces, helping the system last longer.

The Process

In September 2024, we worked with Great British Kitchens with installing a 21kw solar PV system onto their workshop in Tonbridge.

After having a 12kw solar PV system installed onto their showroom in Sevenoaks in 2022, Great British Kitchens came back to us wishing to install solar PV panels onto their workshop, looking to help with their energy bills.

After providing us with some details about their current energy usage, we were able to create them a post survey design on PVSOL which generates a simulation of how the solar panels will benefit their workshop.

Due to the skylights and flue pipe, our solar panels designed the solar panels to lay around these, ensuring they were going to be installed in the most beneficial and aesthetically pleasing place.

If your business is looking to reduce its expenditure or improve its sustainability credentials, solar energy is a great option. Not only can switching to solar power save organisations money on their energy bills, but it also enables them to reduce carbon emissions – and in today’s world that’s a marketable asset.
