Blakley Electrics are the UK market leader in the supply of power distribution equipment and lighting systems for use on construction and civil engineering projects. All of our Construction Products are designed to be robust, long lasting and easy to install.
Blakley Electrics have recently installed a solar photovoltaic (PV) array on their Ware manufacturing facility, taking advantage of the government’s green energy tariffs. The Scheme is rated at 9.99kWp and comprises of 54 Sharp 185W monocrystalline PV panels. Due to the installation being mounted on a flat roof, the panels were supported at an angle of 25° by a support framework. The panels are connected into the three phase supply via three SMA Sunny Boy inverters. The scheme was installed by Southern Solar Ltd.
Due to the fine weather in late September and October, it took only five weeks for the arrangement to generate its first 1MWh of power. It is estimated that in excess of 8MWh will be generated each year, yielding CO2 savings of 4350kg per annum.
