PROJECT STORY
The Challenge
With sporting facilities, a sauna, floodlit tennis courts, general lighting and a restaurant, Richings Park Sports Club had significant electricity requirements. The client reported electricity bills of approximately £5,512 per month and approached Lunar Solar Limited to help reduce those costs. The project also presented installation challenges. The building combines a structural steel frame with timber roof construction and slate tiles, requiring careful planning of the mounting system and electrical earthing.
The Solution
Lunar Solar Limited designed and installed a system comprising 151 AIKO solar panels, a hybrid string inverter and stackable Sigen battery storage. The solar panels supply electricity to the club, while the battery stores surplus generation for later use. Additional surplus electricity is exported to the grid, providing export income. The installation includes bird netting around the solar array. A monitoring app allows the client to track solar generation, electricity consumption, battery charging and battery discharge.
Managing Installation And Grid Approval
Lunar Solar Limited managed the project from design through installation, the Distribution Network Operator application, testing and commissioning. The slate roof required careful fitting of mounting hooks and rails, while the steel building structure required integration with the existing earthing arrangements. Severe winter weather extended the anticipated two-week installation to approximately four weeks. Following installation, a DNO engineer attended the site to inspect the electrical work, and the installation passed the required checks and testing.
The Results
The system is estimated to generate approximately 77,000 kWh of solar electricity annually. During its first several months of operation, the client reported daily generation approaching 400 kWh on one occasion. The client also reports that their current electricity bill has fallen from approximately £5,512 per month to £0, with additional income from electricity exports. With an approximate project cost of £78,000, the indicative simple payback is around 14 months if savings equivalent to the previous monthly bill are sustained. This remains an estimate; a full year of billing and generation data will help establish annual savings across the seasons. Generation forecasts and payback figures are estimates. Current billing outcomes are client-reported and relate to the period observed.
