LHW undertook testing on a number of installations that were suspected of underperfoming. The tests involved both string and module level testing, and provided very conclusive trends and results to affirm the issues. 

A number of tests were undertaken, and Electroluminescent testing will be undertaken at a later date.

Holding the latest CAA approval and regulation changes on 31/12/20, LHW can legitimately undertake drone rooftop PV inspections in nearly all urban and rural areas. This makes the use of drones almost obligatory if correct feasibility, design and operational issues are considered.

LHW undertook a feasibility that outlined a 12MWp PV farm generated 10.5GWh of electrciity per annum. A key finding was that the addition of a 4.1MW wind  turbine to the north of the PV farm increased annual generation ouput to 27 GWh per annum in total, with less than 3% generation constraint, and 75% of the wind generation was between October and April, when solar PV is least effective. 

Having completed an Energy Study in 2019, and a Tender specification in 2020, LHW are providing technical advisory services for the implementation of a large ground source heat pump at a Heritage location in Berkshire. 

Working with CLS Energy, LHW are providing a top to bottom energy strategy for a Local Authority in the Lake District. This includes a review of the Authorities future building heat and electricity needs, as well as larger scale Wind and Solar potential.

With shorter days and getting darker earlier, LHW are now providing seasonal electroluminescence testing and inspection surveys to determine health of PV modules. This is in addition to a range of other testing services. Already offered.
