Engineered to a clients desire to maximise energy collection, the 248 kWp single axis tacked system designed by LHW Partnership in 2013 and commissioned in 2014, has for 8 years consistently been the best performing large scale PV system in the UK, and in both 2020 and 2022 exceeded generation of 300 MWh for the year producing over 1200kWh/kWp. 2022 shows a better yield than in 2020, and demonstrates the benefits of value in design.
LHW Partnership LLP has built an envied reputation of successfully "pushing the boundaries" and has historic and current involvement with some of the UKs most pioneering energy projects where joined-up thinking, an open mind, and experience based ability to pragmatically challenge the steady state and accept that continuous change is now the new steady state.
Comprising 7 separate PV arrays, the PV system will meet 50% of all the properties energy needs (Heat pump heating and electricity), with the imported 100% renewable balance coming from Ripple Energy/Octopus Energy. In Autumn 2023 all the surplus energy required will come from the Kirk Hill Wind Farm currently being constructed.
The property is one of the first to opt out of "Feed in Tariffs" , as the system is intelligent enough to determine the cheapest Half Hour import and export periods on day ahead basis.
With the cold weather, the 30kWh battery can provide heat for a day, and a back up generator holds biodiesel reserves for 1 month, with log burner as emergency contingency.
