Our client, a tier one mechanical and electrical contractor, had the requirements of BREEAM rating of Excellent and an EPC rating of A for this project. To help achieve this target we installed a 33.35kW solar PV system, split across the fourth and sixth floors of the building.
​
The split-level circular design of the building posed a number of challenges with the panel layout and shading issues from the higher roof. We worked closely with the client to ensure the system worked both technically but also aesthetically, as parts of the system are overlooked by a roof terrace.
