89.25kWp solar PV on Coldstore, Essex

Installation, Maintenance, Solar PV

The maximum system size permitted by the distribution network operator in this case was 89.25kilowatt-peak. The site consisted of a large refrigerated storage shed with high electricity demand, especially during the summer months - matching perfectly with the peak generation of the solar PV system.

Our client in this case wanted to make their investment decision on an absolute worst-case scenario. All of the modelling for the investment forecasting was based on the assumption that the electricity generated would be sold directly to the grid, essentially for a ‘wholesale’ price. In fact the vast majority of the electricity will be used on site, realising a cost saving far higher than the ‘export’ sale price. This means that they can be confident of achieving a much faster rate of return on their money.
