- The University Cwm Taf Morgannwg made a 0.55 MW investment in photovoltaic solar energy on its campus to reduce energy costs and its environmental impact
- The project was completed on time and within budget, providing clean and renewable energy, decreasing the dependence on fossil fuels, and promoting sustainability in the local community
London, January 25, 2023 – Cwm Taf Morgannwg University (CTM UHB), located in South Wales, has made a significant investment in photovoltaic solar energy to reduce its energy costs and environmental impact. In collaboration with the University, a 0.55 MW solar plant has been designed and implemented at three different locations within the university campus.
This solar plant includes a capacity of 108 kW on a flat roof, 195 kW on profiled steel sheets, and 253 kW on an insulated tiled roof. To ensure optimal efficiency and performance, the project required thorough design and specialized electrical work.
Prior to the construction phase, a detailed preliminary stage was carried out. This included photovoltaic performance simulations, structure design, photovoltaic array design, mechanical structure, civil and electrical design, equipment procurement, and as-built drawings.
The project was completed on schedule and within the assigned budget. This 0.55 MW photovoltaic solar project now provides clean and renewable energy to the university, significantly reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing its carbon footprint. Additionally, this project has had a positive impact on the local community by promoting the use of renewable and sustainable energy.
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University has become an exemplary model for other educational institutions in the country seeking to reduce their environmental impact and energy costs. This initiative demonstrates the university’s commitment to sustainability and its leadership in adopting renewable energy solutions.
