The grid advised that substation upgrade would be required for the 160kWp solar PV to be connected
The Challenge
We were asked to provide the Solar PV for 102 plots near Glasgow. Our installations allowed us to help meet national sustainability targets, alongside helping Barratt’s customers save money and reduce their carbon footprint.
The contemporary and modern design of these properties is important to maintain. To fit this need we utilised In-roof, all black panels, which create an aesthetically pleasing installation for both clients and end consumers.
We saved £78,500 in grid connection costs

The Solution
Grid connection has often been a challenge in Scotland. Any grid additions are carefully monitored, in order to avoid overloading. With this project, a sub station upgrade was advised, in order to facilitate the 160 kWp Solar PV on site. However, our technical team were able to undertake a study that determined that the grid upgrade would not be needed for the installation, saving hassle and time on site.
After determining that no grid connection cost would apply, a significant saving was made. The original estimate to upgrade the local substation was around £80,000. This saving reduced hassle and financial outlay for Barratts, showing how we can go above and beyond to help you save money and meet targets.
