OUR APPROACH AND IMPACT
Vision engineering first approached Powercor to assist in understanding their energy usage for future power requirements as the company’s energy requirements were increasing rapidly with additional machinery required onsite.
With this, the Woking facility power requirements are a challenge with the DNO supply and were running at maximum capacity.
Having an existing solar array, they knew there were benefits to having solar, so we looked at providing a larger solar system to reduce their reliance on the grid at peak operational times and reduce the reliance on the grid whilst maximising savings.
We will be monitoring the system and looking to see where we can improve savings as well as designing an Electrical Energy Storage System (EESS) further down the line.
Powercor designed a 372KWp system utilising 3 x 100KW inverters integrated with the original 54KWp system over 2 MPANs.
Fully integrated system
A full turnkey solution of design, planning, installation and commissioning achieved.
Environmentally Friendly
836 Panels installed generating 288,170kWh per annum
Financial Returns
Gross savings over 10 years is £489,889.00
We had a solar photovoltaic system installed by Powercor, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated a level of expertise and professionalism that truly sets them apart. They were incredibly helpful, addressing all my questions and concerns promptly and thoroughly. The installation itself was executed flawlessly. The team took care to ensure everything was done to the highest standards, leaving me with a system that performs beautifully and looks great too. Thanks to Powercor, I’m now enjoying the benefits of clean, renewable energy and it’s a positive step to help us reduce our carbon footprint. I highly recommend their services to anyone considering a solar installation. Fantastic work!
