Commercial solar for a high-energy industrial business
Four Seasons Fuel approached DW Energy after rising electricity costs became a growing concern at its Coneyhurst premises. With heavy machinery operating alongside the company’s office facilities, the site required a substantial and reliable source of on-site electricity generation.
DW Energy designed and installed a 106.9 kWp commercial solar PV system comprising 264 Solarwatt panels across the office and warehouse buildings.
Installing solar panels on a fragile warehouse roof
The warehouse roof presented the main installation challenge. Its fragile construction required careful planning to avoid placing excessive stress on the structure or compromising its watertight integrity.
The system also needed to serve two separate buildings and support the different electrical requirements of the office and machinery-intensive warehouse.
DW Energy developed a layout and installation approach that maximised the available roof space while protecting the property throughout the work.
264-panel commercial solar installation
The completed system comprised:
- 264 Solarwatt 405 W solar panels, providing 106.9 kWp of total capacity
- 48 panels installed on the office building
- 216 panels installed on the warehouse
- One 20 kW SolaX X3 Pro three-phase inverter for the office
- Two 40 kW SolaX X3 Mega three-phase inverters for the warehouse
- Specialist roof fixings selected for the fragile warehouse roof
The specialist fixings allowed the panels to be installed securely without compromising the roof’s watertight integrity. The three-phase inverters convert the electricity generated by the arrays for use across the office and warehouse.
On-site generation supporting significant energy demand
Four Seasons Fuel now has a substantial commercial solar system designed around the electricity requirements and physical constraints of its site.
The installation enables the business to generate electricity for its office and heavy machinery on site, reducing its reliance on grid electricity when solar generation is available. This was achieved while preserving the integrity of the fragile warehouse roof.
