After reviewing ACC Renewables’ excellent reputation and customer feedback, the client contacted us directly to quote for a competitive tender process.
The requirements were:
- A solar PV system maximising the available flat roof space
- Minimum 16kW battery storage
- A robust and secure mounting solution suitable for a flat roof
The project was also eligible for a local renewable energy grant, making financial return a key consideration.
Our Solution
Following a detailed site assessment, we proposed a system designed to optimise performance, longevity, and return on investment:
- 18.6kW Solar PV Array
- 40 × Aiko All Black 465W panels
- 30-year performance warranty
- Van der Valk + trapeze weighted framework system
- Specifically designed for flat roofs
- Ballasted (non-penetrative) solution to protect roof integrity
- 20kW All-in-One Inverter & Battery Storage System
This exceeded the client’s minimum battery requirement and ensured strong daytime self-consumption and evening energy usage support.
Tender Outcome
Our pricing was highly competitive, and combined with our strong track record and technical proposal, we successfully won the tender process.
The project also secured the local renewable grant funding, improving affordability and accelerating payback.
Key Results
- Total system size: 18.6kW Solar PV
- 20kW inverter & battery system
- Annual carbon savings: 3,162 kg CO₂
- Payback period: Less than 6 years
The system will significantly reduce the community centre’s energy costs, protecting them against rising electricity prices and freeing up funds for community services.
Installation Process
Our installation team completed the full project in just one and a half days.
The works included:
- Installation of the Van der Valk trapeze mounting framework
- Secure placement of 40 solar panels
- Installation and commissioning of the all-in-one inverter and battery system
- Full system testing and handover
The project was delivered safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to centre operations.
