Turning Sunshine into Sustainable Energy

Arc Renewables aims to greatly reduce its reliance on traditional energy sources while decreasing its environmental impact. The challenge was to design and install a solar photovoltaic (PV) system that could reliably deliver sustainable energy to meet a substantial portion of the company’s power needs.

Arc Renewables, an energy technology firm in London, aimed to decrease its carbon footprint by tasking Excel Energy Ltd to install a solar panel system. The challenge was to create a dependable system that could fulfil a significant portion of the company’s energy requirements.

After thorough planning, Arc Renewables decided to choose an Excel Energy turnkey solar photovoltaic (PV) system that was customised to its needs. This system comprised 80 JA 500wp solar modules strategically placed for optimal sunlight exposure, along with 80 P500 solar panel power optimisers to maximise energy harvest.

Solar PV Panels

80 JA 500wp solar photovoltaic panels were strategically positioned to harness maximum sunlight exposure, ensuring optimal energy generation.

Mounting Systems

To ensure stability and longevity, the solar panels and associated equipment were mounted on robust Val der Valk mounting systems. This choice of mounting hardware guarantees durability and resilience against the elements, vital for a system expected to perform for decades.

Power Optimisers

Complementing the solar modules, 80 P500 solar panel optimisers were integrated into the system. These devices maximise energy harvest from each solar panel individually, mitigating performance issues caused by shading or panel mismatches.

Inverter Technology

A 33kW SolarEdge inverter was selected for its efficiency and reliability. SolarEdge inverters are renowned for their ability to maximise power production while providing real-time monitoring for enhanced system visibility and maintenance.

Arc Renewables Commercial Solar Panel Solution

After careful deliberation and thorough consultation, Arc Renewables selected a cutting-edge, custom solar PV system from Excel Energy Ltd to meet its specific needs. The installation of this turnkey solar panel setup at Arc Renewables has proven to be highly beneficial:

Peak Production

The installed 40.00 kW DC power system will deliver a maximum output of 33.30 kW and an annual energy production of 31.36 MWh. This substantial contribution will help fulfil Arc Renewables’ energy demands, further reinforcing their commitment to sustainability and reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

Energy Savings

By utilising solar power, Arc Renewables has significantly reduced its dependence on traditional grid electricity, resulting in substantial cost savings over time. This shift not only supports environmental sustainability but also enhances financial efficiency, making renewable energy a viable and strategic choice for the company’s long-term energy needs.

Environmental Impact

Embracing solar energy highlights Arc Renewables’ dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting environmental sustainability. By adopting solar power, Arc Renewables achieves significant environmental benefits, including saving 6.08 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. This reduction in carbon emissions is comparable to planting 279 trees each year, or 6,975 trees over the lifetime of the solar energy system.

Reliability

Equipped with a durable design and state-of-the-art monitoring features, the solar power system ensures consistent performance with minimal downtime. This provides Arc Renewables with a dependable and sustainable energy source, further enhancing their operational efficiency and commitment to renewable energy solutions.

Arc Renewables Commercial Case Study Conclusion

The cutting-edge solar power system, meticulously installed by Excel Energy, consistently produces 40 kW of peak power. This significantly reduces Arc Renewables’ dependence on grid electricity, resulting in considerable cost savings.

Additionally, the move to solar energy exemplifies Arc’s commitment to environmental sustainability, with decreased carbon emissions and increased energy independence. The system’s reliability, coupled with advanced monitoring capabilities, guarantees uninterrupted performance, further solidifying Arc Renewables’ position as a leader in sustainable practices within London’s business landscape.
