Photovoltaic Case Study - Ground Mount Installation
BRIEF
Whilst traditionlly, photovoltaic panels are installed onto a roof it is not always possible to do this due to planning permission, listed buildings or even aesthetics. In these instances a ground mount installation may be applicable - usually mountd onto steel A-frame structures, either from a variety of manufacturers or made in house by our team of specialist engineers, this is also an option if you have a portion of land you wish to make money for you, or ifyour roof is not south facing or has a level of shading.

PROCESS
This particular property had the benefit of a mid-field booster station with it's own M-Pan number, on which we were able to link a second photovoltaic installation on the site. This installation comprised of creating a bespoke a-frame ground mount, installing 15 Renesola 240WP polycrystalline photovoltaic panels and an external Danfoss 3.6kW inverter. This installation took around 2 days to install, complete, commission and test.

OUTCOME
At the time of installation (December 2011), it was predicted that this installation had an estimated output of 3.6kW.
Per annum, this installation is predicted to produce £1,600 in Feed in Tariff payments, £240 per annum saving on electricity bill and £60 export tariff per annum. The total annual saving/earning on this installation is £1900.
