Client Background
Integral UK is a mechanical and electrical engineering contracting company that operates throughout the United Kingdom. They specialise in technical engineering services with a commitment to creating and maintaining sustainable buildings. Integral approached UCS Renewables in November 2020 with the opportunity to provide a quotation for the design and installation of a solar photovoltaic system at Berwick Leisure Centre.
Berwick Leisure Centre is a new leisure facility in Berwick Upon Tweed, located near the former Swan Centre. The new building is scheduled for opening in Autumn 2021 with a 25m swimming pool, spa, fitness suite and seating areas. There is also a sports hall, sensory room, football pitch, play park and parking spaces within the grounds.
The Challenge
UCS Renewables provided four varied quotations for the project to suit the renewable energy requirements of the client and any required adjustments as the project progressed. UCS Renewables were awarded the contract in November 2020. The installation was completed in July 2021 based on the final submitted quote and associated design.
What UCS Renewables Did
UCS Renewables designed and installed an 84kWp system featuring two 40kW Solis inverters alongside 248 JA Solar panels. UCS Renewables also installed mesh underneath each panel to prevent birds from being able to access the electrical components and cause damage.
