Overview

Charter House, located at Links Business Park in St Mellons, has undergone a sustainable transform-ation by installing an In-roof Solar System. The recently refurbished building provides modern self-contained office accommodation over three floors.

Objective

The primary objective for Charter House was to reduce the carbon footprint of the building and contribute to sustainability goals.

The Solution

An In-roof Solar System was installed to harness solar energy, thereby reducing the building's reliance on traditional energy sources.

Challenges

Each In-roof Solar System is a bespoke project, tailored to fit the specific dimensions and characteristics of the building's roof. While this customisation may introduce some complexity in terms of design and installation, it's a great opportunity for optimisation of the existing roof structure.

In-depth Look at the In-roof Solar System at Charter House

What is an In-roof Solar System?

An In-roof Solar System is a type of solar panel installation where the panels are integrated directly into the roof structure, rather than being mounted on top of existing roofing. This provides a sleek, streamlined appearance and can be a more aesthetically pleasing option compared to traditional on-roof systems.

Key Features

Seamless Integration

In-roof solar panels fit flush with the roof, offering a more visually appealing look.

Weather Resistance

Being integrated into the roof provides better protection against adverse weather conditions.

Space Efficiency

The system doesn't take up additional space, making it ideal for buildings with limited roof area.

Maintenance

In-roof systems generally require less maintenance as they are less exposed to environmental elements.

Compatibility

These systems are compatible with various types of roofing materials, including tiles and slates.

"I'm thrilled to share our sustainability journey with Nuvolt. The In-roof Solar system seamlessly integrated into our roof structure,

enhancing our building's aesthetics while reducing our carbon footprint.

The customized design fully utilized our roof's potential. With features like seamless integration, weather resistance, and minimal maintenance,

it was the smart choice for us. The impact has been significant, resulting in a yearly reduction of 1.82 tonnes of CO2e.

In summary, Charter House's In-roof Solar System is a testament to our commitment to sustainability. Thanks to Nuvolt,

we're not only eco-friendly but also setting a compelling example for others in our industry to follow."

Benefits of the In-roof Solar System at Charter House

Energy Savings

The system contributes to significant energy savings, reducing overall operational costs.

Sustainability

Aligns with Charter House's commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.

Aesthetics

The sleek design enhances the overall look of the building, with the in-roof installation going almost unnoticed.

Impact

Carbon Footprint Reduction: The installation led to a reduction of 1.82 tonnes of CO2e annually. To put this into perspective, this is equivalent to taking a car off the road for approximately four months each year. This reduction is a huge step towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions and aligns perfectly with Charter House's sustainability goals.

Energy Efficiency: Charter House has achieved an 'A' energy rating, which is the highest achievable score for energy efficiency in buildings. This is a testament to the effectiveness of the In-roof Solar System, among other sustainable practices implemented in the building. An 'A' rating indicates that the building is optimized for energy usage, reducing not only its carbon footprint but also operational costs. Over time, this could translate into significant financial savings, making the building not just eco-friendly but also economically viable.

Conclusion

The In-roof Solar System at Charter House not only contributes to reducing the carbon footprint but also aligns with the broader sustainability goals. The project serves as an excellent example for other businesses looking to make a positive environmental impact.
