Solar PV generates electricity during daylight hours. We evaluate each site individually designing a system to suit the customers electricity demand profile and matching that with their roof space and specific site conditions to produce the optimal design.
Solar Electric is an experienced and well considered company that is leading the way in Solar PV right through from new build homes, existing retrofit domestic homes up to large scale commercial and public sector buildings in Ireland. There is a new SEAI grant of up to €3,800 available for domestic solar PV installations. Please check our website www.solarelectric.ie for more details on this
We put much thought and technical skill to ensuring that we proposed the best option for a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for Kildare County Council Offices at Áras Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas, Co. Kildare, with the aims of reducing costs, guarding against energy price increases, reducing carbon footprint – and generating free electricity on-site.
Following Site visits, discussions and consideration of existing structures on the roof we came up with the following solution.
With all available roof space utilized and possible shading from existing structures on the roofs taken in to account the East/West facing array could host a 73.44kWp system from a total of 272 PV Modules. We designed a German manufactured weight ballasted mounting system that sits on the roof of both Block A and Block B of the County Council buildings. The PV modules were delivered to site and crane lifted with the mounting system and ballast weights early one morning in the Autumn of 2018 and then our installers got to work putting the system together including wiring the DC cables back to specifically designed German SMA DC to AC inverters and G10 relay compliant and tested by ESB Networks on site before the system was switched on for Kildare County Council a few weeks after starting the project.
Solar Electric staff worked very closely with the team of Kildare Council people on site at the Council offices to ensure no disruption or risk to staff and customers as the construction was being completed and implemented a rock sold site specific Health & Safety plan to ensure it was all carried out to high standard also. Kildare County Council staff were very helpful while Solar Electric delivered this project on time and within budget.
