Solar PV - Array 790K Wp / East Anglia

We were recently instructed to install, test and commission a 790Kwp PV array for our client in East Anglia

  • The customer was looking to take advantage of there large warehouse roofs and try to start the process of both energy and carbon reduction. We worked closely with our client to ensure both the electrical and solar design would be suited for the installation and hit the targets the company wanted to achieve.

    We were able to achieve this by getting average yields for the roof space on past meteorology reports for the area and issuing the client with a rough guide of yield and savings.

    We also worked closely with both parties to put a schedule of works together to ensure that the deadlines were met for the end client. It was also essential to ensure that there was minimum disruption to the working environment as it was in constant use.

  • We worked alongside the operations manager, electrical technical manager, electrical design team and project manager to ensure the works were carried out to the highest of standards with regular quality checks for all the different elements.

    On site adaptions were made to ensure the project ran smoothly with our contracts manager onsite and weekly meetings were held to ensure programming was being met and health and safety procedures were constantly being adhered too.

  • The materials for the job were as below:

    • 1438 x JA Solar 550W Deep Blue 3.0

    • 1438 x Solaredge P850 Optimizers

    • 6 x Solaredge 3 Phase Inverters

    • New Schneider MCCB board

    • G99 Panel

    • G100 Panel

    • AC & DC Isolators

    The installation included all elements of a PV installation the mechanically rail installation, panel connection, DC Stringing and installation of optimizers to all panels.

    We also mapped all the Solaredge optimizers on to the relevant software so the client could ensure that all the system was working remotely and all the panels were functioning.

  • We installed a new inverter station to the exterior of the building and brought down the DC cabling from roof to the newly installed inverter station. We also connected the new 240mm mains to the new installed transformer. Once all elements had been installed were came back to test and commission all elements of the PV array and help with the switch on the array.

    Working closely with the main contractor and end user throughout the project we were able to ensure the project was completed on time with no additional fees or any delays and the system was working on the day intended. We have also picked up the ongoing contract for the maintenance/servicing and remedial work for the next five years.
