West London Properties
Fusion designed 40kW PV solar system for West London Properties, to be installed on a 7-storey building.
The Challenge:
Fusion designed a renewable solar 40kW PV system to be installed on a flat roof on top of a seven-storey building for West London Properties.
The main challenge of the project was the requirement to use a non-penetrating system in which the solar panels were not attached to the roof, as damage to the roof material would void its warranty.
How We Helped:
Our solution was to weigh down the PV system, calculating the weight required to stand up to wind speed while also allowing for snow load. We used 9 tonnes of ballast to secure the system, designed and arranged to evenly spread weight across the entire roof space.
The Outcome:
The outcome was the installation of the maximum solar PV system, providing renewable energy back into the building and achieving the qualifying BREEAM target for West London Properties.
