HBS New Energies has been awarded a contract by Wain Homes to install solar PV amounting to a total of just under 300kWp on 123 new low-carbon dwellings.
The Saxon Gate housing development consists of a total of 198 new homes in the town of Ivybridge, Devon, with HBS to design, supply and install complete in-roof solar systems for over half of these properties. This comes after the company launched the in-roof solar solution in February in partnership with JA Solar and GSE Integration.
The average PV array size to be installed at Saxon Gate comes in at 2.4kWp, with the HBS New Energies design team having worked with Wain Homes to engineer a solar solution that maximised kWh performance within the specification and budget.
ScottishPower has submitted a planning application for up to 40MW of solar, along with up to 50MW of battery storage and a 20MW electrolyser as part of its Green Hydrogen for Scotland project.
