A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE

Since establishing in 2013, LHW Partnership LLP has completed over 1000 project assignments, ranging from feasibility, renewables design, inspection and testing, due diligence, aerial photography across nearly the whole range of energy efficiency and renewable portfolios from small residential projects to the tallest wind turbines and largest PV farms in the UK.

Innovation, synergy and new ways at looking at challenges is a fundamental belief of the partnership, and have been fortunate to have worked on some of the most innovative projects in the sector.

Outlined below are a few examples

Solar PV

250kWp PV Tracker

2013-4

Performance Verification

2021

Desktop Review of performance of 2 tallest onshore wind turbines on 100m hub installed in 2014 near Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard, and a 3rd turbine on 62m hub near Mansfield.

Wind & PV Hybrid Generation

2018-2020

Half Hour kWh modelling of an existing 1.5MW turbine, and addditional turbine and 1.8MWp PV farm, batteries for suitability of powering a highway EV charging station for cars, and the forthcoming local electric bus network.

Renewable Heat

Energy Study and Ground Source Heat Pump Feasibility Study

Energy Strategy

2021

Working in partnership with CLS Energy, undertook a full audit of Local Authority building assets including sports centres, buildings, Crematoriums, Council offices and some council owned land for large scale PV and wind, for Copeland Council located in the Lake District National Park.

Inspection

Infra Red, String Testing & System Yield Revue

2018

Engaged to undertake Infra Red inspection, IV string testing and yield revue on the UK's largest rooftop PV array comprising 24,000 PV Modules.

Expert Witness
