Princes Court Apartments:
40KWp System
Completed and Commissioned April 2013
The Largest Residential Roof Mounted Solar PV System In the North of England When Commissioned
Good Neighbor, a proactive social enterprise dedicated to advocating community-scale solutions for addressing climate change, proudly selected Northern Solar for their exceptional expertise and experience in designing and implementing Solar PV systems, even in complex scenarios. Our strong environmental credentials further solidified our partnership.
Northern Solar achieved a notable feat by skillfully designing, installing, and commissioning a 40KWp Solar PV system on the rooftop of a residential apartment block for the group. This undertaking involved a critical challenge: optimizing space on the roof while preserving its weatherproof integrity. To address this, we opted for a non-penetrating ballasted aluminium framework system. The framework was strategically mounted at a 10° inclination to maximize the system's energy generation potential.
