Client Objective

Why Renewable Energy?

Understanding the business drivers behind the decision to invest in solar

HG Construction sought to deliver high-quality modern housing with integrated renewable energy infrastructure as part of a sustainable development strategy

The development required a solar solution capable of serving affordable housing, shared ownership units, private apartments and ground floor commercial space

Reducing long-term operational energy costs for residents was a key objective to support affordable living

Improving the environmental performance of the development and supporting future ESG compliance within the built environment

The Challenge

Overcoming Obstacles

Every project presents unique constraints. Here’s what we navigated to deliver success.
Multi-Block Coordination

Designing and delivering a cohesive solar installation across four separate residential blocks, each with unique roof configurations and structural considerations

Active Construction Site

Installation coordinated within an active construction programme, requiring close collaboration with the Main Contractor’s site management team

Mixed-Tenure Requirements

System design needed to account for the energy requirements of affordable housing, shared ownership and private residential units alongside commercial space

Communal Energy Integration

Engineering a solar solution integrated with communal building energy demand to maximise benefit across all dwelling types

S-TEC Solution
