These are the figures estimated for this installation, not metered results. What a site actually saves depends on its electricity supply contract and how much of its own generation it uses during the working day.
Design, supply and installation of PV across the W & T Blocks at UWE's Frenchay Campus, integrated with the buildings' fire safety systems.
The University of the West of England has an ongoing development plan as part of its 2030 strategy, and future sustainability is instrumental to that programme of work — with solar energy a key component. Comera Energy were engaged to design, supply and install the photovoltaic system to the W and T Blocks at Frenchay Campus, integrating the array with the buildings’ fire safety systems.
At this scale the numbers move into a different bracket. The installation generates around 264,971 kWh a year — enough to make a measurable dent in the campus’s grid demand — and offsets 56,938 kg of CO₂ annually.
Financially it returns roughly £67,600 a year and an estimated £1.69m across its lifetime, funding the university’s wider decarbonisation work while cutting operating costs on two of its busiest teaching blocks.
