Blog / ESG Bristol Building 10.6KW Solar PV Installation 15 May 2022 — by Barry Bassett VMI’s Bristol building has been fitted with a 10.6KW Solar PV array, to provide the majority of it’s power requirements.As part of this initiative, we have also replaced all lighting in Bristol facility with known Lumens/Watts-rated LED lights, to match Acton. This has reduced light-caused energy consumption by up to 90%.Even with EVs, 10.6KW is a lot more power than the Bristol branch is likely to use except at peak times and since our surplus is now being sold to the grid, we will in some small way help fortify Britain’s green power generation.Before and After PicturesBefore InstallationAfter InstallationBristol Solar PV cuts power use by 56%Amazingly, Bristol’s Sola PV installation has cut their power use by more than half (56%), though the pictures tell the full story though!(Data from Octopus energy readings taken 25-April – 22 May but excluding 13 May when the installation was in progress).
