Portfolio: Empowering a Charity with Off-Grid Solar Power

The Challenge:

A charitable organisation providing vital SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and dementia services faced the challenge of securing a reliable and sustainable power supply for their facility. Their location presented difficult terrain with challenging soil and boggy conditions, requiring a specialised off-grid solution.

The Solution:

Array Electrics stepped up to support this worthy cause by designing and installing a robust off-grid solar power system. The system features:

  • Victron 590w solar panels: High-quality panels to maximise energy generation even in varying weather conditions.
  • 20kWh battery storage: Ample storage capacity to ensure continuous power supply, day and night.
  • ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) generator: Seamless integration with a backup generator to guarantee uninterrupted operation during extended periods of low sunlight.

The Results:

  • Reliable power for essential services: The charity now has a consistent and dependable source of electricity to support their critical SEND and dementia care programs.
  • Reduced operating costs: Eliminating reliance on grid power significantly lowers the charity's energy expenses, allowing them to allocate more resources to their beneficiaries.
