Kia, Loughborough
Car showroom · 65.5 kWp · 12 days
What was there
A car showroom that had just put in new EV chargers, and was watching its electricity use climb because of them.
What we did
154 panels across the showroom roof, 65.5 kWp in all, on a SolarEdge system with optimisers. We checked the roof could take the load and got network (G99) approval first. The showroom stayed open for the whole job.
How it's doing
Switched on at the end of October 2023. In the 12 months to 30 September 2026 it made 58.6 MWh, and half of all the electricity the showroom used came from its own roof.
