Client Objective

Why Renewable Energy?

Understanding the business drivers behind the decision to invest in solar

Reducing the hospital's reliance on grid electricity and lowering operational energy costs across the estate

Improving long-term budget predictability and reducing exposure to wholesale energy price volatility

Delivering high-quality modern housing with integrated renewable energy infrastructure as part of a wider sustainability strategy

Strengthening estate-wide sustainability performance and supporting NHS decarbonisation commitments

The Challenge

Overcoming Obstacles

Every project presents unique constraints. Here’s what we navigated to deliver success.
Near-1MW Scale Installation

Designing and coordinating a 994.84kWp installation with 2,584 panels across a live NHS hospital site, requiring meticulous planning and phased delivery

Operational Healthcare Environment

Installation within an active hospital estate demanded strict health and safety protocols, minimal disruption to clinical operations, and coordination with hospital management

Structural & Roof Integration

Detailed structural assessments required to ensure roof loading capacity across multiple buildings, with bespoke mounting solutions for varying roof types
