Mrs Tilly’s

A 121.44 kWp Rooftop Solar Installation for a Forward-Thinking Business

As a Centrica Partner, we’re trusted by businesses across the UK to design and deliver solutions that are not only cost-effective but also sustainable for the long term.

In this recent project, we installed a 121.44 kWp rooftop solar PV system for well known confectionery manufacturer Mrs Tilly’s, who were looking to reduce their electricity costs and shrink their carbon footprint. The new solar panel system features 276 JA Solar 440W panels arranged in an east-west orientation on a Renusol Mounting System.  All connected to a highly efficient SolarEdge 90 kW Synergy Inverter.

Mrs Tilly’s, a large-scale commercial property approached the solar installers at Low Energy Services with a clear goal: to reduce their operational energy costs and become more environmentally responsible. They were seeking a high-output system capable of supporting their business energy needs while fitting within the constraints of their existing building structure.

Following a detailed site survey and energy usage analysis by our in-house team, we proposed a rooftop-mounted solar photovoltaic system using JA Solar 440W panels — a high-efficiency option known for their reliability and performance.

The east-west orientation was chosen specifically for its ability to maximise solar exposure throughout the day, ensuring consistent energy generation from morning through evening.

To support this configuration, we used the Renusol Mounting System, selected for its versatility, durability, and suitability for flat or low-pitched commercial rooftops. The system’s lightweight design also ensures minimal structural impact, making it an ideal choice for retrofit installations.

All components were sourced from Glasgow Greentech, ensuring a reliable, UK-based supply chain with a focus on quality.

Quality and Performance

The SolarEdge 90kW Synergy Inverter was a vital component in this installation. Known for its advanced monitoring and safety features, it provides superior system visibility and performance optimisation. Each panel’s output is tracked individually, allowing the client to monitor performance in real-time and quickly identify any potential issues. The modular design of the inverter also ensures easier maintenance and scalability in the future.

At Low Energy Services, quality isn’t just a word – it’s at the heart of everything we do.

Our team of qualified designers and solar installers delivered the project with precision, care, and strict adherence to industry standards. From risk assessments and system design to final commissioning, each phase of the installation followed a rigorous quality assurance process.

 

Environmental and Financial Benefits

One of the most compelling reasons businesses choose solar is the dual benefit of reducing overhead costs and contributing to environmental sustainability. This 121.44 kWp system will significantly lower the client’s dependency on grid electricity, reducing exposure to rising energy costs and improving financial predictability.

Based on average solar irradiance levels in the UK, the system is expected to generate over 100,000 kWh annually, translating into substantial electricity bill savings. Over the system’s expected 25–30-year lifespan, the return on investment is projected to exceed the initial cost many times over.

Additionally, the environmental impact is substantial. The system will offset approximately 25–30 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, helping the client take a meaningful step toward net zero and reinforcing their commitment to sustainability in the eyes of customers and stakeholders alike.

A Trusted Partner in Clean Energy

What sets us apart is our dedication to long-term client relationships and industry excellence. We’re not just installers — we’re energy partners who support businesses at every step of their solar journey, from consultation and design through to installation and aftercare.

We offer bespoke maintenance packages and ongoing support, ensuring that each system we install continues to perform at its peak. Our engineers are fully accredited, experienced, and passionate about delivering innovative, clean energy solutions that make sense — both financially and environmentally.

As more businesses in the UK shift toward cleaner energy sources, projects like this highlight what’s possible when innovation meets expert execution. By making smart investments in solar technology, companies are not only reducing costs — they’re positioning themselves as leaders in sustainability.

At Low Energy Services, we are proud to be a part of that movement. Whether it’s a rooftop system like this or a larger ground-mounted array, we are here to help UK businesses transition to a low-carbon future.
