Background: S-TEC recently completed an extensive 128.6 kWp solar installation at a prestigious private school in Essex. This project not only provides the school with substantial energy savings but also represents a strong commitment to sustainable practices in education, aligning with the institution’s values of forward-thinking and environmental responsibility.
Challenge: The school sought a large-scale, reliable solar solution to meet its significant energy demands while demonstrating environmental stewardship to its students and community. The challenge lay in designing a system that would maximise energy yield, offer long-term savings, and maintain the aesthetic standards of the school’s premises.
Solution: Our team implemented a powerful solar array that included:
- 314 Canadian Solar Panels: These high-efficiency panels are well-suited to large installations and provide significant energy output.
- K2 Trapezoidal Mounting System: This mounting system ensures stability and longevity, designed to work seamlessly with the school’s roof structure.
- Solax Inverter: The inverter optimises energy conversion, allowing the system to deliver steady power and ensure efficient performance throughout the school day.
By commissioning this 128.6 kWp system, the school now generates its own electricity, reducing both its carbon footprint and its reliance on conventional energy sources.
Outcome: This installation not only provides clean energy and cost savings but also serves as an educational tool, inspiring students and staff alike to appreciate the benefits of renewable energy. The project demonstrates S-TEC’s ability to deliver large-scale solar solutions that align with the values and goals of educational institutions.
Key Takeaway: With high-performance components and expert installation, S-TEC supports schools and institutions in their journey towards sustainability. This project highlights how educational facilities can lead by example, embracing renewable energy to benefit both the environment and their communities.
