Businesses in Yorkshire are facing unprecedented energy costs. This case study details how a logistics hub in Sutton Fields, Hull, utilized their roof space to secure their energy future.
The Challenge
The client, a cold-storage distribution centre, had a daytime base load of 120kW due to refrigeration units. Their electricity bill had tripled in 2 years. They had a large, unshaded trapezoidal steel roof.
The Solution
Yeers designed and installed a 250kWp Solar PV system utilizing 580 modules of Jinko Tiger Neo panels. We utilized a mounting system that clamped directly to the roof seams, avoiding any penetration of the roof sheet and preserving the waterproofing warranty.
The Financials
- System Cost: ~£185,000
- Tax Relief: 100% Capital Allowances (Full Expensing) claimed in Year 1.
- Annual Savings: £42,000 (based on 22p/kWh import rate).
- Payback Period: 3.5 Years (adjusted for tax relief).
For the remaining 21+ years of the system's life, the electricity generated is effectively free, providing a massive competitive advantage.
