Riverside Housing: 875 kW

In November 2016, Engenera Renewables Group installed installed 850kW of Solar PV for Riverside Housing, across three new build PFI sheltered housing developments in Hull. This was one of the largest rooftop Solar PV installations in the sector.

The installation will reduce their electricity spend by approx. £88,000 whilst also drastically reducing site carbon emissions. The installation consisted of various roof and mounting types – flat roof/ballast & pitched roof.

“Dealing with the environmental concerns of our tenants and home owners drove us to consider installing Solar PV. It makes a lot of sense financially as we could see the potential for a dramatic reduction in our clients energy bills,” said Dominic Beha, Energy Consultant.

Even though the property was not perfectly South facing, Engenera took into consideration the following characteristics of the building including pitch, azimuth and orientation. 

Engenera approached Riverside to explain their offerings and the savings that they could achieve through the installation of renewable measures. Through a pricing matrix Engenera illustrated to the client, by fitting a 850KW system, they could save Riverside an average £88,000 per year.

The installation and ongoing maintenance really does cost businesses nothing and offers real financial savings on billed compulsory charges together with lower electricity bills year on year.
