This installation supports both operational cost savings and the campus’s
sustainability strategy, helping reduce reliance on grid-sourced electricity and lower
overall carbon emissions.
Brighton MET College undertook a major redevelopment of its Central Campus to
enhance facilities for students and adult learners, including the creation of a new
Centre for Creative and Digital Industries. As part of the circa 3,000 m²
redevelopment, a photovoltaic (PV) system was installed to support the college’ s
sustainability objectives and reduce carbon emissions.
Ablaze GES installed 126 high efficiency solar panels mounted on aluminium flat
roof brackets bolted to steel grating, which provides 34 kilowatt (kWp) of power. A
generous yield of 30,000 kWh/yr is generated by the south facing direction of the
panels, translating as a 20% reduction in the college’s energy consumption.
“As a repeat customer of Ablaze, I would happily continue to involve them in future
projects due to confidence in the quality of their products and installation,
commercial competitiveness, and trustworthiness to deliver on time. Customer focus
is clearly at the forefront of their business, from procurement through to handover,
and this is demonstrated by the obliging and supportive professional manner in
which they approach their projects. Design challenges are commonplace on MEP
projects, and Ablaze is always on hand to assist with their expertise and drive,
adapting to project needs and never capitalising where change is required.”
