Crown Street - Solar PV to 33 Apartments

Distrikt Energy were engaged by CBES Ltd to design, supply & install a 67kWp solar PV system on their flatted development located to the South of Glasgow City Centre. This impactful project supported our client's ambition of providing their customers with energy efficient homes, with incredibly low energy costs.

Each apartment within the development had a dedicated PV system supplying over 2kWp of peak solar power, generating over 1,500kWh of clean electricity via Solax inverters. The apartments also benefit from a hot water diverter, which utilises excess solar power to heat domestic hot water, to further reduce electricity costs.

The roof of the apartment blocks was finished in Sarnafil single ply membrane, which meant that mechanical fixings were not an option. Working with our designers, and supply chain, we designed a roof mounting system which was fully ballasted, meaning that no penetration of the roof finish was required, ensuring that all warranties and guarantees were intact.

Situated in the heart of Glasgow, this solar PV installation required meticulous planning, working on a busy city centre site, managing access and loading of materials, all while co-ordinating works around other trades working on the development. Our flexible approach ensured that all works were completed ahead of schedule, within budget, and in harmony with all other trades.

By choosing Distrikt Energy, the occupiers of the new apartments in Crown Street can embrace the power of solar energy to reduce their carbon footprint and unlock significant savings on their utility bills. This solar PV installation generates clean and renewable electricity, significantly reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. The high-quality systems employed on this project ensure optimal energy production, resulting in substantial cost savings on electricity bills for many years to come.
