About the Project

Almost four containers of product were brought to the roof using a crane, pallet by pallet, loaded on rafts to ensure weight dispersion on site. Timed to perfection with our installation schedule, the solar panel installation phase was completed in under two weeks. Being a flat roof, a ballast system was the only option. Due to the limitations on weight allowed on the roof, ESDEC FlatFix was the system of choice due to its unique design requiring significantly less weight.

Project Management

“This 420 kWp system will help SSE produce approximately 342,991 kWh’s of electricity and offset over 87 tonnes of carbon on a yearly basis.”

Ciaran Marron, CEO, Activ8 Solar Energies.
