A flat warehouse roof that runs the presses until mid-afternoon, five days a week.
The brief
A print studio with big daytime loads and a landlord who needed the roof membrane untouched.
What we fitted
Ninety-six panels on a ballasted, non-penetrating frame and a 40 kW inverter, installed over two weekends so printing never stopped.
Twelve months on
The presses now run on solar until around 4pm from March to October. The payback sheet we gave Marcus has been accurate to the month.

In their words
We were dreading the disruption. They fitted it over two weekends and the payback sheet has been right to the month.
