HBS New Energies is to install 37 of its complete in-roof solar systems at a new housing development in Weston-super-Mare.
The solar installer was chosen by Lovell Homes to design, supply and install the 110kWp of solar, with selected dwellings at the Foxglove Meadows development to feature all black in-roof solar panels with system sizes ranging from 2.4kWp-3.6kWp.
The scheme is to generate an estimated 99,897kWh per year, with work on-site to begin soon using HBS’ own direct labour force.
The site itself will have a total of 130 homes, with a mix of two, three and four bedroom homes available through Lovell Homes and a mix of one, two, three and four bedroom homes available through housing association Abri Group.
