“The whole process dealing with Climate Integrated Solutions, from the initial quotation, and submission of the DNO, through to the installation and hand over of the system went without issue. Communication throughout was excellent with regular updates and clearly communicated timelines for each step of the installation. Their contractors caused minimal disruption to our site, and the whole installation was completed two weeks earlier than scheduled. I would definitely recommend Climate Integrated Solutions” – Michael Neale, Director

Design
The optimal project design, taking account of suitable roof areas and current and forecast consumption was for a 306 kWp system. The design and specification have taken account of the building design and orientation at the site and more detailed review of the specification. Our proposal incorporates additional options including extended 20-year inverter warranties, Fire fighter safety switch and an annual O&M service including annual site visits to optimise performance and deliver proactive maintenance of the system.
Results
The installed solar PV array is fully integrated with site systems delivering an automated solution optimised to maximise the energy savings over the lifetime of the system. We also provide live access to output data as part of the project, allowing users to view and monitor key data including on-site generation, CO2 savings and money saved. The project was completed in March 2024, With the first month’s output exceeding the ROI modelled figures the system is set to deliver target savings.
The system will be delivering savings of over £70,000 in the first year.
