Another challenging large-scale project, successfully delivered.

A 300-panel installation on an occupied mixed residential and student accommodation building in the heart of Nottingham.

We’re delighted to have completed a 300-panel solar installation on a mixed residential and student accommodation development in the heart of Nottingham.

This was far from a standard installation. With residents occupying the building throughout the project, careful planning and coordination were essential to ensure works could be completed safely and with minimal disruption.

The challenge: cabling an occupied building

One of the biggest challenges was routing cabling from the rooftop system to ground level. To overcome this, specialist abseilers installed cabling down the exterior of the building, allowing the project to progress efficiently while avoiding disruption to tenants.

Leadership and teamwork

A huge thank you to Will, our Director, whose expert project management kept the project running smoothly from design through to commissioning. Complex installations demand leadership, attention to detail and proactive problem-solving, and Will delivered on all fronts.

Thank you also to our installation and electrical teams for their professionalism, hard work and commitment to quality throughout the project. Their expertise, dedication and efficiency ensured every challenge was overcome and the system was commissioned in double-quick time.
