The project at Frenchay Primary School in Bristol was a significant initiative centred on solar power installation, alongside the re-instatement of Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) systems. This comprehensive design and build project was tailored to meet the specific needs of an educational environment, ensuring a modern, energy-efficient and secure setting for both learning and teaching.

The unique challenge was to balance the dual objectives of reducing costs and decarbonising operations. The primary school needed to cut energy usage without disrupting its daily activities. The project involved designing a retrofit system that were compatible with the existing building structures.

Installation

Nuvolt provided a customised installation at Frenchay Primary School, including a solar PV system designed to meet the specific needs of an educational environment. The solar panels efficiently convert sunlight into electricity, significantly reducing the need for grid-supplied power during daylight hours and contributing to the school's sustainability goals.

Implementing this project in a primary school setting presented unique challenges, particularly regarding health and safety. Ensuring the safety of students and staff was paramount, requiring careful planning and execution to minimise disruptions and avoid any risk. Additionally, the system was designed with the school's specific operational needs in mind, balancing energy efficiency with the need to maintain a safe, secure and conducive environment for learning.

Solution

The system was strategically designed to meet the facility’s energy demands while providing several critical benefits:
