Team Impression Ltd. Printers, Leeds

Capacity 250 kWp
Predicted Output 198,250 kWh
Panel Type Solarworld Polycrystalline
Inverters SMA Tripower
Roof Type Metal Trapezoidal and Asbestos
Location South Leeds

 

 

A 250kWp solar pv system installed on the east and west roof faces of Team Impression's Printing premises. With their energy usage regularly exceeding 200kW, the solar PV system we installed in August 2015 has had a huge impact on running costs. Self-consumption is 100% for 6 days of the week, meaning almost all of the energy produced is consumed on-site and contributes to energy savings. 

The panels feed into 8 SMA three-phase 25kW inverters which integrate with SMA's online monitoring system, Sunny Portal. We have also installed SMA's smart energy meter, so energy consumption and solar generation can be compared in real-time.

 

New-build Property Developers, Barnsley

Capacity 69 kWp
Predicted Output 56,590 kWh
Panel Type Solarworld
Inverters SMA Tripower
Roof Type Metal Trapezoidal
Location Barnsley

 

 

A 69kWp solar pv system installed on a new-build commercial premises using Solarworld panels and Sunny Tripower inverters.

 

Textiles Manufacturer, Huddersfield

Capacity 44 kWp
Predicted Output 35,948 kWh
Panel Type Solarworld Mono-Black
Inverters SMA Tripower
Roof Type Metal Trapezoidal
Location Huddersfield

 

 

176 x SolarWorld MonoBlack 250Wp solar PV panels mounted on 2 south south east facing roof faces at approximately 40 degree pitch, in 4 landscape rows of 22 panels per string per roof / inverter. The arrays suffer from winter and early morning / late afternoon shading to the lower string of panels, mitigated by placing the lower strings on input B to be tracked independently and using the Optitrac Global Peak function set to carry out a full voltage scan every 6 minutes.

Light Manufacturing Plant, Derby

Capacity 29.85 kWp
Predicted Output 26,500 kWh
Panel Type HJ Solar Poly-crystalline
Inverter 2 x Sunny Tripower
Roof Type Trapezoidal Metal
Location Derby

 

 

A 30 KWp 3-phase installation on a light manufacturing building across multiple roof faces, installed in July 2012. After careful analysis of the roof pitch & orientation, the inverters chosen were 2 x 12kW AC output inverters, which maximises the efficiency of the system throughout the year, and monitoring indicates only very rarely restricts the output from the system.

 

Freeman Street Market, Grimsby

Capacity 197.76 kWp
Predicted Output 151,681 kWh
Panel Type LG and Upsolar
Inverters SMA Tripower
Roof Type Metal Trapezoidal
Location Grimsby

 

 

A 197.76kWp solar pv system installed on the east and west roof faces of Grimsby Freeman Street Market using Upsolar and LG panels and Sunny Tripower inverters. The system was installed in 4 stages in November 2011, February 2012, March 2014 and February 2015 with the majority of the energy produced being consumed within the market.

The panels feed into 12 SMA three-phase inverters ranging from 8kWp to 17kWp and all reporting to SMA's online monitoring system, Sunny Portal.

 

Cafe, Headingley

Capacity 9.75 kWp
Predicted Output 7,454 kWh
Panel Type Schott
Inverter Sunny Tripower 10,000TL
Roof Type Artificial Slate
Location Headingley, Leeds

 

9.75 kWp solar pv system installed in Novermber 2011 on the roof of the Voodoo Cafe in Headingley, Leeds. Careful design was needed to mitigate shading issues.

 

Artist Studio, Leeds

Capacity 10 kWp
Predicted Output 8,711 kWh
Panel Type Hyundai
Inverters SMA Tripower
Roof Type Slate
Location Central Leeds

 

 

A 10kWp solar PV system installed on the South and East slate roofs. Rising energy bills at the studio prompted the owners to get in touch with us to design a besoke PV solution. At over 3 stories high and on a slate roof, this installation presented an interesting challenge.

A single inverter with dual tracking capability allows both arrays to operate independently of each other at maximum efficiency.

 

Hollingthorpe Low  Farm

Capacity 5 kWp
Predicted Output 4,310 kWh
Panel Type Hyundai
Inverter SMA 4000TL
Roof Type Concrete Tile
Location Swillington, Leeds

 

Oversized single phase solar PV system using 5kWp of panels limited to 16 amp output at the inverter. Installed September 2011 in Swillington, West Yorkshire.

 

Denby Dale Farm

Capacity 9.8 kWp
Predicted Output 8,095 kWh
Panel Type Yingli Poly-crystalline
Inverter Aurora Power-One
Roof Type Fibre Board
Location Denby Dale

 

9.8kWp array installed in February 2013 on the roof of a large cow shed on a farm in Denby Dale, South Yorkshire.

 

Quaker Meeting House

Capacity 3.76 kWp
Predicted Output 3,269 kWh
Panel Type REC 235Wp
Inverter SMA Sunnyboy
Roof Type Artificial Slate
Location Woodhouse, Leeds

 

Installed in August 2011 on the Quaker meeting house opposite Leeds University, with black framed panels chosen to minimise the visual impact against the black slates. Independent analysis of the system's performance by a Leeds University student indicated that this system has led to a 50% reduction in energy bills within the building.

 

St. Chads Parish Centre

Capacity 3.92 kWp
Predicted Output 3,290 kWh
Panel Type Hyundai 245Wp
Inverter Aurora Power-One
Roof Type Concrete Tile
Location Headingley, Leeds

 

Installed in May 2012 the all black panels were chosen due to the roof#s prominant location on the drive up to the grade 1 listed St Chads Church.

 

Hilton Church Lighthouse Cafe

Capacity 5 kWp
Predicted Output 3,703 kWh
Panel Type Hyundai
Inverter SMA 4000TL
Roof Type Concrete Tile
Location Inverness

 

Installed in March 2012, this 5 kWp Solar PV system is limited to 3.68 kWp using Hyundai 250 WP panels on Hilton Church Lighthouse Cafe, Inverness. Virtually all the energy generated is consumed by the cafe during opening hours.

 

Hilton Parish Church

Capacity 12.72 kWp
Predicted Output 9,480 kWh
Panel Type Yingli 265Wp
Inverter Aurora Power-One
Roof Type Trapezoidal Metal
Location Inverness
