Over 150 m2 of grid connected solar modules have been installed in a new B&Q retail store in the East Midlands to reduce the amount of CO2 being released into the atmosphere.
Building integrated photovoltaic modules, supplied by BP Solar, have been used extensively in the roof and facade design of the B&Q Warehouse in Sutton-in-Ashfield. They will contribute to the building's annual 275 tonnes of CO2 emissions savings.
The grid connected solar installation, which comprises 151 m2 solar modules within the roof cladding and 45 m2 incorporated in the main entrance elevation, will generate peak power 7·6 kW, which will support the electrical loads of the premises.
