Case Study: Solar PV Installation at Lawley Primary School, Telford

 

Project Overview:

Lawley Primary School in Telford took a significant step towards sustainability by partnering with Shropshire Green Energy Centre to install a 17kW solar PV system. This initiative aligns with the school’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact while lowering energy costs. By harnessing solar power, the school is not only cutting carbon emissions but also setting an example for students and the wider community on the importance of renewable energy.

Project Scope

The system was designed and supplied using components including:

  • 68 Canadian Solar 250W Polycrystalline Panels
  • Growatt 18000UE Three-Phase Inverter
  • Clenergy Pro Rail Mounting System
  • DC & AC Isolators, Connectors, and Generation Meter

 

Installation & Benefits

  • Renewable Energy Generation: The 17kW system significantly reduces the school’s carbon footprint and reliance on the grid.
  • Cost Savings: By generating their own electricity, the school is expected to save on energy bills over the years.
  • Educational Value: The installation serves as an educational tool for students, teaching them about solar power and sustainability.

Outcome:

The successful installation of the 17kW solar PV system at Lawley Primary School highlights the school’s dedication to sustainability and energy efficiency. With the system now operational, the school is actively reducing its carbon footprint, lowering electricity costs, and promoting renewable energy awareness among students and staff.

Conclusion:

By partnering with Shropshire Green Energy Centre, Lawley Primary School has taken a meaningful step towards a greener future. This project not only delivers long-term financial and environmental benefits but also serves as an educational tool, inspiring the next generation to embrace sustainable practices.
