Making Solar Standard

4th July 2012

Local Green Education Centre Harvests Solar Power

We are pleased to announce our recent solar PV installation at Northfield Eco Centre, a Birmingham based charity that inspires local people to lead greener lives. The two phase installation, which was provided by EH Smith and installed by Eco2Solar, includes one pitched-roof and one flat-roof solar system; which will enable the centre to demonstrate both type of solar electricity installations to visitors of the centre.

The pitched-roof solar system, installed by Eco2Solar, was provided free of charge for the Eco Centre by EH Smith and encompasses six Schuco 190-MS-05 190Watt panels; powered by one SMA Sunnyboy 12000 inverter. This array is expected to contribute over 937kWh of the building’s energy usage each year.

The second installation, which uses a Solion Sunmount flat roof system, includes five REC 240-PE 240watt panels; alongside one SMA Sunnyboy1200 inverter. This system was installed for free by Eco2Solar and will contribute an additional 986kWh of renewable energy each year; making a combined contribution of 1,923kWh annually.

This impressive contribution will provide Northfield Eco Centre with £404 in tax-free income each year from Government-backed Feed in Tariff scheme and will save over 3,527kg of carbon annually.

Eco2Solar were recommended as a potential installer for the Eco Centre by EH Smith, who supplied some of the kit for the installation, due to our long-standing relationship with them over the past five years. The Eco Centre decided to go ahead with the installation to cut the carbon and electricity at the centre, alongside showing their leadership within the community. Eco2Solar are very pleased to have been involved with the successful installation and hope that the panels can be used as great educational resource for visitors.

Our procurement strategy is to develop long term sustainable trading relationships with our supply chain. In particular, we look to identify suppliers, such as Eco 2 Solar, who will work with us on a collaborative basis to drive cost out, and value in. We have traded with Eco 2 Solar for nearly five years and it was an easy decision, based on their continued excellent service at design stage through to on-site installation, to extend our current agreement or another 3 years.

Eco2Solar are a great all round contractor – they’ll work with us to achieve the required result, often being able to offer value engineering solutions at tender stage that actually come to fruition! From a delivery view point Eco2Solar work with us and are malleable to achieve the best value and no noise from the production team, at any point, is often the best feedback a contractor could hope for!! While we market check the rates once in a while – no other local contractor has got near the rates we buy at from Eco2solar. Long may the relationship continue and we don’t have to learn another Subbies way of doing things!
