Solar Case Studies
Here you can find domestic, commercial and public and sectors case studies showcasing our solar products and their innovative use.
The 617m² solar PV installation at HSBC’s global headquarters in Canary Wharf stands at 210m. The highest corporate installation of its kind in Europe and an incredible feat of engineering.
The largest commercial solar facade in Europe the CIS Tower incorporates 7,244 Sharp 80W modules used to clad the entire service tower.
The award winning Eden Project, one of Cornwall´s most popular tourist attractions providing education on ‘a sustainable future for all´ has 338 integrated Sharp solar PV panels within the building´s "Fibonacci" roof design.
This Tesco petrol station roof incorporates 96 Sharp solar panels generating around 12,500 units of electricity every year. This prevents 5.5 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions being released into the atmosphere each year.
Educating the next generation on the importance of renewable energy is vital to the future of our planet. An installation at St Crispin School demonstrates the real life benefits of Solar Power to students by displaying the performance of the 4.32kWp grid connected system in the main hallway and on the school’s intranet.
This installation was undertaken following the award of both a CSEP and Low Carbon Building Programme Grant. The installation includes a display in the reception area which outlines real time energy production as well as cumulative kWh and CO2 savings.
Amersham & Wycombe College installed a PV onto the roof of a building on their Chesham campus as the college were offering Solar PV installer training courses leading to a City & Guilds certificate 2372.
The Mancat sixth form college features Sharp modules on a two-storey solar façade and the building's flat roof is utilised with rows of PV modules providing further clean energy.
Mr Hagon’s solar PV system will make a significant contribution to his annual electricity bill. He will save an average of £127.55 a year from his energy bills and will earn in excess of £750.00 per annum.
The owner of this large country house didn’t want to affect the visual appearance on his listed property. Therefore a ground mounted system was installed covering an area of approximately a third of an acre.
Kirkless Metropolitan Council have been proactive in the deployment of various renewable energy technologies for some time. The PV scheme follows on from an earlier project under which 100 similar PV systems were installed, on adjacent properties.
Sharp Solar PV modules help reduce the average heating bills for the 28 social housing flats to around £75 per annum.
