The challenge
Powering a 13,800-patient surgery
Framfield House Surgery in Woodbridge serves 13,800 patients, with heating, lighting, IT and medical equipment running through the day and a substantial electricity demand.
The practice wanted to reduce its energy costs significantly while keeping medical services running uninterrupted.
The solution
A 53.3 kWp, 130-panel array
Solar4Good installed a 53.3 kWp system using 130 Canadian Solar 410W panels with a Solis 50kW three-phase inverter, sized to the surgery's daytime demand so the majority of generation is used on site.
The installation was delivered end to end — feasibility, DNO application, installation and commissioning — to MCS standards, without disruption to patient services.
