Client Objective

Why Renewable Energy?

Understanding the business drivers behind the decision to invest in solar

The nursery sought a clean, cost-effective energy solution to support daily operational demand and reduce exposure to fluctuating grid energy prices

Reducing operating costs was a priority to improve long-term financial stability for the childcare facility

Aligning with sustainability values focused on children's wellbeing and environmental responsibility was a key motivator

The facility required a system designed to work with the existing pitched roof structure without compromising building integrity

The Challenge

Overcoming Obstacles

Every project presents unique constraints. Here’s what we navigated to deliver success.
Pitched Roof Compatibility

The nursery’s pitched roof profile required a specialist mounting solution to ensure secure panel attachment and optimal orientation for solar yield

Panel Orientation Optimisation

Strategic panel positioning across the roof pitch to maximise sunlight exposure and energy generation throughout the day

Structural Mounting Suitability

Detailed structural assessment to confirm the roof could safely support the 107-panel array with Van Der Valk mounting systems

Operational Childcare Environment

Installation logistics carefully planned around nursery operating hours to ensure the safety and comfort of children, staff and parents throughout the project
