Utility Trade Group Generates over 1 Megawatt of Power from Solar PV Installations
In the last year alone, Utility Trade Group completed 75 Solar PV installations – 90% of which were for commercial properties, and 10% for domestic. Those installations generated a staggering 900,000kw of power, reducing carbon footprint and ensuring that we are taking strides in the campaign against climate change.
Our working relationship with local authorities such as Leicestershire County Council, has provided us with the opportunity to educate our clients, staff and partners on the positive environmental impact, in addition to the economic benefits of our work. One example is the consultation, design and installation work we did with Leicestershire County Council to unlock sustainable income to pay for local projects, such as providing further education for adults.
Danemill Primary School Annexe has just been refurbished and will reopen as an adult learning centre. As part of the refurbishment and continued commitment from Leicestershire County Council to make their property portfolio more sustainable, the buildings now have a 25kW solar array. The system comprises of 93,275W Jinko SolarEdge optimised PV modules, and is forecast to generate 22,500kWh and avoid 10 tonnes of CO2 emissions in year one.
In September, we achieved industry recognition for the work we’ve done in the Solar PV category. Not only did we secure third place in the National Solar PV Project of the Year category (which we wrote about last week), but we also received a special commendation in the National Solar PV Installer & Contractor of the Year Category.
Our double success in the Solar PV category further highlights our expertise in this area, and is just reward for the hard work and dedication, in the pursuit of success for our clients. Receiving recognition from industry peers, in such a prestigious award category, is one of the highest accolades possible.
A representative from Leicestershire County Council spoke very highly of our work:
“Utility Trade have been an excellent contractor to work with throughout the installation of solar panels at Vulcan Court. The installation was a complex project with a tight deadline, and Utility Trade delivered both on time and on budget”.
“We would highly recommend UT Power for Project Managing, and the installation of Renewable Technologies. We have had a large number of installations completed by UT Power, and all have been managed professionally, delivered before programme and with minimal disruption. We have achieved a very high overall customer satisfaction, from Building Managers through to the end user”
This is a glowing endorsement, and further consolidates our position as one of the Solar PV industry leaders. Our proven track record in this area is something we’re extremely proud of, so if we can help you with any aspects of your Solar PV project, then please get in touch today.
