Installation of 0,55 MW on the rooftop of the
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board
Highlights:
- Installation of a 0.55 MW Photovoltaic Solar System
- 3 locations: 108 kW on a flat roof, 195 kW on profiled steel sheets, and 253 kW on an insulated tiled roof.
- The project required significant design and electrical work.
- The pre-construction stage of project delivery involved structural designs that included: photovoltaic performance simulation, structure design, photovoltaic array design, mechanical structure, civil and electrical design, equipment supply procurement, and as-built plans.
Project:
The University of Cwm Taf Morgannwg (CTM UHB) in South Wales decided to invest in a solar photovoltaic installation to reduce its energy costs and decrease its environmental impact. We designed and installed a 0.55 MW installation in three different locations on the university campus.
The installation consists of 108 kW on a flat roof, 195 kW on profiled steel sheets, and 253 kW on an insulated tile roof. To ensure maximum efficiency and performance, the project required significant design and electrical work.
Prior to construction, the company carried out an extensive pre-construction stage, which included comprehensive structural designs. These included photovoltaic performance simulations, structure design, photovoltaic array design, mechanical structure, civil and electrical design, equipment supply acquisition, and as-built plans.
The project was completed within the established timeframe and budget. The 0.55 MW solar photovoltaic installation now provides clean and renewable energy for the university, significantly reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and decreasing its carbon footprint. Additionally, the project has had a positive impact on the local community by promoting the use of renewable and sustainable energy. The University of Cwm Taf Morgannwg has now become an example for other educational institutions in the country that are also looking to reduce their environmental impact and energy costs.
