Superior
Energy
Solutions
The energy installation for this
project consists of an energy-
efficient LED lighting upgrade,
a building energy management
system and the Rooftop Solar PV.
All these elements combined will
yield a total annual energy saving
of nearly 1,040,864 kWh.

Speed of
Construction
Rooftop Solar PV systems can be
installed extremely quickly. This
new build project covers an area
of 50 000sq ft and the entire
energy system was installed in
90 days. This quick installation
process meant site attendance
costs were also reduced.
