Supporting Oaklands Community Pool in Southampton to reduce energy bills and carbon usage.
Powerforce Renewables has successfully completed a commercial solar PV installation at Oaklands Community Pool, offering a sustainable, cost saving energy solution for the facility. This project highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality renewable energy systems that are customised to meet the unique requirements of our commercial clients.
Oaklands Community Pool, located in Southampton, is a charity-driven facility dedicated to promoting health and well-being in the local community. Offering a variety of swimming activities and programs, the pool provides a valuable resource for residents of all ages. As a charitable organisation, Oaklands Community Pool is committed to sustainability, exemplified by its recent solar PV installation to reduce both energy costs and environmental impact.
Solar Project Objectives
The main objective of the installation was to reduce electricity bills for Oaklands Community Pool through the use of a sustainable, green energy solution. By harnessing solar power, the solar system helps lower operational costs while supporting the facility’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
The Solution
The solution provided for Oaklands Community Pool consists of a 49kWp solar PV system, utilising high-efficiency 480W Jinko modules to maximise energy generation. The system incorporates Solaredge technology, which optimises the performance of each individual panel, ensuring enhanced energy output and greater reliability.
We managed the project from start to finish. This included G99 applications as well as sourcing the panels, and arranging to install of scaffolding with MAC Access Scaffolding. The install took 7 days to complete.
Solar solutions that give back to the local community
The installation is helping Oaklands Community Pool save on electricity costs, allowing the charity to redirect those funds into further improving the facility and enhancing services for the local community. These savings will support ongoing efforts to provide accessible, high-quality programs and maintain the pool as a valuable resource for residents.
The Results
CO2 Savings: 8.78t
Annual Savings: £9102
