Case Studies

Meggitt PLC - 2.6MW Roof Mounted System

In 2019 we installed one of the biggest roof mounted solar PV systems in the UK. This 2,600kW system will produce around 2 million kW's of electricity /year. The system took 3 months to build and has over 9,500 solar panels and around 20km of cable! Meggitt estimate the system will cover 25% of the Aerospace manufacturers power requirement.

London Fire Brigade - Richmond and Kingston

Our team designed and installed systems retrofitted to 2 fire stations in West London, the system are installed on a mixture of flat roof and pitched tiled roofs

Student Accommodation Leicester

We worked with the electrical contractors to install over 110kW of PV across 4 new build student accommodation blocks in the centre of Leicester, the systems where all flat roofs and used a variety of different smart panels and conventional systems to overcome shading issues from parapets and to maximise the clients return on investment.

Amazon - Coventry

In August 2017 we installed a 437 panel system to the new Amazon European distribution hub. The system comprises 4 Fronius inverters with a string level remote monitoring system, lightning strike protection and a zero-export facility to integrate with the local network. Acis undertook complete design, installation and commissioning of the system which will produce around 94MW/year.

London Taxi Company - New Factory

In Installation of 100kW system on London Taxi’s new state of the art £350m electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Coventry. The system comprises 385 Sharp solar modules and 3 Huawei inverters. The system also incorporates a fire safety shut down system that can be initiated from reception to protect firefighters working on the roof in an emergency. This requirement is becoming increasingly common and we have several solutions available depending on the system installed. The system will produce around 83MW/year.

Howdens Joinery - Raunds

Howden Joinery’s national distribution warehouse in Northamptonshire was bespoke built at a cost of £75m. Acis Energy designed and installed the 120kW PV system which incorporates 460 Winaico panels and 4 SMA inverters. The system is monitored by a cluster controller that also allows the system to throttle back to prevent exporting power to the grid which was a requirement by the local network operator before it could be connected. The system will produce around 100MW/year.

90kW Derby NHS Hospital

London Road NHS hospital installed a 90kW solar system linked to 3 Power One inverters. The installation coincided with the hospital installing ground source heat pumps to heat and cool the building. The PV will offset the electricity required to run them the new heating system maximising the power generated by turning every kW of free solar power into 4kW of heat.
