The challenge
Meeting daytime demand at a busy health centre
Lawrence Hill Health Centre in Bristol wanted to reduce its energy costs and strengthen its sustainability credentials. Like most primary-care buildings, its demand runs steadily through daylight hours — lighting, heating, IT and clinical equipment.
That demand profile makes rooftop solar unusually effective: almost every unit generated is consumed on site rather than exported, maximising the value of each kilowatt-hour.
The solution
A 45 kWp, 100-panel rooftop system
Solar4Good installed a 45 kWp system using 100 DMEGC 450W panels with a Solax X3-MGA-40K three-phase inverter, sized to meet much of the centre's daytime demand and delivered without interrupting patient services.
At a £45,000 system cost against £7,500 saved each year, the system pays for itself in about six years and prevents up to 10,000 kg of CO₂ annually.
The result
What the health centre gained
£7,500 saved every year, about £625 a month
System pays for itself in about 6 years at a £45,000 cost
MCS-certified installation — eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee
