    The challenge: Reduce high bills faced by 24\/7 fire station facility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In 2017, Good Energy was commissioned by Hampshire County Council to design and install a 24.84 KWp Solar PV system on Basingstoke Fire Station, with the goal of reducing operational costs, cutting carbon emissions, and aligning with long-term sustainability goals. Operating 24\/7, fire stations are energy-intensive buildings needing heating, lighting and drying facilites around the clock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The solution: A Solar-Edge optimised solar array, designed for efficiency and safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Good Energy designed and installed a 92-panel SolarEdge optimised solar panel system, mounted on an east\/west S-Flex system. This configuration enables individual panel-level optimisation, ensuring maximum energy generation even under partial shading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A key advantage of the SolarEdge system is its industry-leading fire safety \u2014 essential for a site like a fire station. Each optimiser allows for module-level shutdown, reducing DC voltage to safe levels during emergencies or maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The installation is expected to deliver annual savings of \u00a33,328 and reduce carbon emissions by 12,575 kg per year. This project not only supports Hampshire County Council\u2019s sustainability goals but also demonstrates how intelligent solar panel technology can be deployed safely and efficiently on critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
