Introduction
The solar energy system at Take 3 Ltd, a leading joinery and shopfitting services company catering to various market sectors such as grocery, fashion, electrical, entertainment, dentistry, and veterinary services, has taken a significant step towards sustainability and cost efficiency. By installing a fully optimised 31.00 kWp solar energy system on its south-facing roof, the company is demonstrating its commitment to lower carbon emissions while achieving substantial operational savings.
Solar Energy Production Project Overview
The system has been specified, designed, installed, and commissioned in full compliance with the latest Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) standards. It meets Take 3 professional requirements and includes all associated costs.
In collaboration with Excel Energy, Take 3 Ltd opted for a high-quality turnkey solar PV installation that maximised solar energy production and efficiency. The system features premium Tier 1 products, including Trina Solar panels and SolarEdge technology, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
The solar PV system installation proposal included:
Solar Modules: 62 x Trina Solar 500W Vertex panels
Inverter System: 1 x SolarEdge SE20 kW Solar Inverter Three Phase with SetApp & DC Surge Protection
Optimisers: 31 x SolarEdge S1400 Power Optimisers – long input
Mounting Structure: Renusol Metasole Portrait Rail 400mm long
Monitoring System: SolarEdge Online Monitoring System
Mid-approved Inepro 380 generation meter
Import/Export Solaredge Watt node mod-bus meter
Additional Infrastructure: Scaffolding, feasibility study, planning application, documentation, DNO-G99 connection and notification, and roof structure survey
Solar Energy System Performance & Energy Savings
With an installed DC power of 31.00 kWp and a maximum achieved AC power of 20.00 kW, the system is optimised for peak performance. The solar PV setup is expected to generate an annual energy production of 31.62 MWh thanks to the ideal roof orientation. This renewable energy production will significantly reduce the company’s dependence on grid electricity, resulting in lower energy bills and a substantial return on investment.
Lower Carbon Emissions Environmental Impact
The solar installation’s sustainability benefits are remarkable:
CO2 Emission Reduction:
An estimated 6.11 tonnes of CO2 emissions are reduced annually, significantly contributing to lowering carbon emissions and mitigating climate change.
Tree Planting Equivalent:
The system offset carbon emissions equivalent to 281 trees planted annually, providing the same environmental benefits as a small urban forest.
Commitment to Sustainability:
By transitioning to renewable energy, Take 3 Ltd is actively contributing to a cleaner environment, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and reinforcing its commitment to sustainable business practices that align with global environmental goals.
