Case study: Brothers Drinks (Food and Drink Production) Solar PV System

“We had a few key factors that were critical to our decision-making process and whilst price was obviously important, the reputation of Solarsense both in terms of the quality of their work and environmental, social aspects swayed the choice in their favour. Several factors hindered the install initially, including limitation on export and working around a busy factory, but the main aspect we wanted to address was ensuring the condition of the roof was adequate to last the lifetime of the solar panels. Solarsense helped with this, were easy to work with and quick to respond to any queries through the whole process, providing good information at the sales stage and acting professional at all times when on-site through the installation.”

Matthew Showering, Managing Director – Brothers Drinks

 

 

Case study: Alderman Tooling (Manufacturing) Solar PV System

“Price was a key factor but not the only one. We were looking for experience and a strong reputation – we wanted to know the contractor was going to be around for a long time. By the time we were looking at three quotes it included research on the company’s values, friendliness, customer service, response to queries and attitude to health and safety – they were all crucial to us and Solarsense came out on top.”

Karen Friendship, Managing Director – Alderman Tooling

 

 

Case study: King’s School Macclesfield (Education) Solar PV System

“Together with CEC we opted for Solarsense because they are a company aligned with our own values for the environment, have a very transparent and practical way of presenting their proposal (we could see the total costs, the impact we could expect, the payback period and more) and were price competitive. You should not underestimate the planning required to achieve a successful outcome. This included a detailed survey of roof areas and going through formal planning processes and design work within the building. This was all undertaken by Solarsense who provided an excellent service. They were also able to adapt the timetable of work due to various onsite construction issues.”

Jonathan Spencer Pickup, Bursar and Director of Finance, King’s School Macclesfield

 

 

Case study: Lush Cosmetics (Warehousing & Distribution) Solar PV System

“We installed a 126kWp solar PV system at our warehouse in Poole. It was a perfect installation from our perspective. Low disturbance, professionalism, respect for the building tenants and clear communication throughout. Many thanks to the team involved. It’s given everyone a lot of confidence to expand a further roll-out of solar PV in the future.”

Jack Gale – Utilities Lead, Lush Cosmetics

 

 

Case study: Wildlife and Wetlands Trust (Non-Profit) Solar PV System

“We have been working with Solarsense for several years to install clean energy systems at three of our sites and have four further installations planned. They have been great to work with, which is why we keep going back to them.”

Lucy Smith – Head of Sustainability, WWT (Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust)

 

 

Case study: Plasser UK (Transport and Manufacturing) Solar PV System

“This was a challenging project due to the busy nature of our manufacturing facility, however Solarsense were a one-stop shop and never missed a beat. Russell and his team were extremely reliable and excellent to work with. I trusted them to get the job done quickly and efficiently. We will be working on further clean energy projects soon and I won’t hesitate to use them again.”

Michael Gowen, HSQE & Facilities Manager – Plasser UK

 

 

Case study: St Mary’s RFC (Sports and Leisure) Solar PV System

“We were very keen to improve our sustainability but cost was a driving factor – even before the recent rises in electricity prices we couldn’t afford not to do it. We contacted several different companies to quote, including Solarsense who were recommended by a local community group. Solarsense completed their tender return accurately and professionally and were responsive and supportive throughout the process. They did everything they said they would do and were always more than happy to answer questions and provide data. Everyone I dealt with at the company was pleasant to work with and the Project Manager was amazing – he was worth his weight in gold! Overall Solarsense did a brilliant job!”

Kevin Mulvaney – Club Vice Chairman and Project Manager, St Mary’s RFC

 

 

Case study: Limbs and Things (Manufacturing) Solar PV Case System

“Reducing our impact on the environment is really important to us and to deliver efficiency improvements in the process is a win-win solution. The Solarsense specialists worked hard with our team to overcome the technical challenges of two phases of PV panel installation, on both flat and pitched roofs. Completion of the second phase helps us achieve our aims by combining our existing and new systems to work in unison to create clean, renewable energy for years to come. We are now working with Solarsense on a third project to install further PV and electric car charging points.”

Nick Hull – Managing Director, Limbs and Things
