Jaguar Land Rover required a cost-effective and efficient solar pv system that would not only provide renewable energy and cost savings, but also deliver an attractive return on investment. Kingspan’s Solar Rooftop PV system was chosen due to its proven success in providing sustainable energy solutions for large-scale projects in the UK.

“For Kingspan Energy and JLR, Health
and Safety, planning and implementation
was the primary focus from the outset.
Given the short time scales involved,
in the winter weather conditions, it was
a fantastic achievement by both companies
to complete this landmark project within
such tight time constraints.”

Project Manager, Kingspan Energy

3. The Vision
One of Jaguar Land Rover’s core
business values is sustainability.
The premium car manufacturer
uses resources responsibly in all
areas of its business, and these
eco-friendly morals influenced
the design of their new factory
in Wolverhampton.
Jaguar Land Rover required a
cost-effective and efficient solar pv
system that would not only provide
renewable energy and cost savings,
but also deliver an attractive return
on investment. Kingspan’s Solar
Rooftop PV system was chosen due
to its proven success in providing
sustainable energy solutions for
large-scale projects in the UK.

4. Fast Installation
The project set ambitious targets,
starting from the size of the system
at 5.8 MWp, covering a total area
of 35,000 m2 of roof space, and
a requirement to be completed
within three months.
Kinspan Rooftop PV is installed
in conjunction with a roof panel,
significantly increasing the speed
of construction. Under the guidance
of Kingspan Energy’s experienced
project management team, the
entire system was designed and
installed in just 11 weeks, exceeding
the ambitious three month schedule
set by Jaguar Land Rover.

Measures
The 5.8 MWp system is expected to
generate 30% of the plant’s annual
energy requirements.
This output, enough to power more
than 1,600 homes, will be used on
site to reduce the building’s primary
energy consumption from the grid.
The system is also expected to save
over 2,400 tonnes of CO2 every
year, the equivalent of burning
1,225 tonnes of natural gas. The
installation includes more than
21,000 of 275 Wp polycrystalline
PV modules, linked together by
over 100 miles of electric cables.
