Anstruther, Fife Solar Panel Installation Project

Metaflake Ltd

Solar Installation for a business in Anstruther, Fife.

Metaflake are specialists in water milled aluminium pigments and pellets for the coatings, inks and plastic markets.

Based in Anstruther, Fife, they are pioneers of water milled aluminium pigment that is 100% free of harmful hydrocarbon residue. With their unique, environmentally friendly solutions, it is only natural that they would embrace solar energy to help make their business even more environmentally friendly with the installation of solar panels.

They already had solar panels fitted on the industrial building as part of a ‘Phase 1’ installation and our solar installation team were tasked with completing Phase 3 of this solar installation project for Metaflake.

This latest phase involved installing solar panels on two North East facing roofs, complementing the original solar installation work completed in Phase 1 on the South West facing roofs. The project aimed to enhance energy generation efficiency and sustainability for the business while showcasing Metaflake’s commitment to cutting-edge renewable energy solutions.

Solar Installation Process

The entire solar installation process was completed in under a week which included the issuance of the handover pack and ensuring the client was seamlessly integrated into all systems.

Despite being North East facing, the newly installed solar panels demonstrated impressive energy generation capabilities comparable to the South facing arrays installed previously in Phase 1.

Even though the Phase 3 solar installation has the same number of panels as the South facing arrays, the newer models installed in Phase 3 have boasted higher efficiency and output. This is thanks to the constantly advancing technology used in solar panels.

This all means that the newly fitted solar installations are now significantly helping to increase the businesses green energy requirements and helping the business to lower their energy costs.

The new solar panel system boasts an impressive 45.84kWP using DMEG 445w solar panels. The entire solar panel system is mounted to a Renusol MS+ mounting system and connected to a Solis Inverter.

Thanks to Solen Energy where all materials were sourced.

Solar Installations for Businesses

More and more businesses are looking into solar panels as a real way of controlling their energy expenses.

The volatile nature of the energy market has put many businesses on edge in recent years and for many, there seems little they can do about it. But having solar panels installed on the roof of your businesses will allow you to control your energy expenses and even help your business to turn it into a revenue stream.

At Low Energy Services, we install solar panels and battery storage systems for businesses across Scotland and England who want to reduce their reliance on the national grid, lower their energy costs and help reduce their carbon footprint.

The process of solar panels is quite simple. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) modules harness energy from the sun and generate this into electricity for use in and around your office building. Contrary to what many believe, Solar Panels do not require direct sunlight to generate electricity; they just need daylight to produce electricity. This means that a solar panel system can provide energy all year around, even on a cloudy day in Anstruther, Scotland.

Finance Options

At Low Energy Services, we provide a range of finance options for businesses so that they can finance solar panel installations now so that they can take advantage of green energy sooner rather than later.

Whatever size your business is, the benefits of commercial solar installations are clear to see.

Through our financial partnership with Systems Finance, our range of finance options allow you to spread the costs into manageable payments and even have the solar panels installed for free if you sign up for a Solar PPA.
