Project Overview

Sustain Commercial Solar has designed a 31.16 kWp solar PV system for Arthur House in Manchester. Located on Chorlton Street, this grid-connected PV system utilises the available roof space to generate renewable energy.

System Specifications

The solar PV installation at Arthur House features:

  • 31.16 kWp total system capacity
  • 76 HT-SAAE HT54-18X-410 solar panels covering 148.4 m² of roof space
  • Two FoxESS T15-G3 inverters with optimised string configurations
  • Dual orientation design:
    • 38 panels facing northeast (44°) with 10° inclination
    • 38 panels facing southwest (223°) with 10° inclination
  • Grid-connected system with 3-phase connection
  • Mounted roof installation

Technical Details

The technical design of the system includes:

  • Performance ratio of 83.01%
  • Specific annual yield of 804.65 kWh/kWp
  • Yield reduction due to shading: 5.1%
  • Inverter sizing factor of 103.9% for both inverters
  • String configuration:
    • Each inverter has two MPP trackers
    • Each MPP tracker has a string of 19 modules

Energy Production

Based on simulation using climate data for Manchester (2001-2020), the system is expected to:

  • Generate 25,099 kWh annually
  • Export 100% of generated electricity to the grid
  • Have standby consumption (inverters) of 26 kWh/year
  • Avoid 5,190 kg of CO₂ emissions per year

Environmental Impact

The environmental benefits of the system include:

  • Annual CO₂ emissions reduction: 5,190 kg
  • Contribution to renewable energy generation in an urban environment

System Layout

The system utilises the building's roof with:

  • Northeast array: 38 panels arranged to maximise morning generation
  • Southwest array: 38 panels positioned to capture afternoon sunlight
  • Panel spacing and positioning designed to minimise impact from shading

Parts List

The main components of the system are:

  • 76 x HT-SAAE HT54-18X-410 PV modules
  • 2 x FoxESS T15-G3 inverters
