Project Challenges and Solutions
Every solar PV installation comes with its own set of challenges, and this project was no different. One of the primary concerns was completing the installation within a short time frame without compromising safety.
The school allocated one week during the half-term break for the installation. With students and staff absent, this presented the perfect window to execute the project without disrupting daily school activities. However, the timeline required detailed planning, coordination, and execution to ensure everything was installed, tested, and operational before the start of the new school term.
To meet the deadline, we scheduled the delivery of materials well in advance and worked closely with suppliers to ensure all components were readily available on site. Our on site solar installers employed a phased installation approach, with teams working simultaneously on multiple roofs to complete the installation efficiently.
As with so many of our solar installation projects, the materials used by our solar installers were sourced locally from Greentech Glasgow. Their efficiency and professionalism is always greatly appreciated and matches our ethos of own quality and service when it comes to solar installations. Being able to work directly with regional suppliers minimises the carbon footprint of our projects further which is an added benefit.
