Saving energy and emissions for a large student accommodation provider in the West Midlands! Last October we installed a combined 89kW solar PV system and 80 KW Battery system for 3 student blocks with a combined occupation of 250 beds, one of the larger providers of student accommodation in the midlands. Beauford Developments, Managing Director, Simon O’Neill has a passion for saving money, protecting the environment and is proud of the company’s efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. With the price of electricity rise to 70p – £1 p/kWh Simon new he had to do something and fast. We are an energy efficiency contractor and install solar systems on over 140 homes per month. The company uses an electric vehicle to move their steel during production and the team has introduced paperless documentation plus they now have two electric company vehicles. When searching for a renewable energy company, Simon contacted several installers before deciding to work with us. Our Sales Director, James Hughes, discussed the options available and developed a plan to power the company’s offices and main production facility during the working hours of the day, with surplus energy sold back to the grid. Simon, who’s very happy with the installation, said: “The system is working perfectly fine, the installers were very professional, and they handled everything efficiently.” Now that Beauford is generating its own solar energy they want to use it as much as possible and Simon and his team are looking to introduce more electric vehicles. In just under a week, our team installed and commissioned this system which includes 222 Solar panels Additionally Simon is delighted that Beauford Developments return on investment is under 2 years.
