Newton Turner Case Study: Commercial Solar Project, East Sussex
Sustainable Steps Towards Renewable Energy
Newton Turner, the owner of a night club in Seaford, East Sussex, decided to take a sustainable step towards renewable energy by converting his night club building, which had been in operation since 1974. The night club ceased operation in late 2017, and the building was transformed for a new purpose while Newton Turner moved to live in the flat above.
The building was previously connected to a 3-phase energy supply, which presented an opportunity for the installation of a commercial solar system. Newton Turner aimed to significantly reduce the building’s reliance on the grid, generate clean energy, and achieve long-term cost savings on electricity bills.
After careful evaluation of Newton Turner’s energy needs and the building’s structure, MyHomeSolar proposed a comprehensive solar solution to meet the commercial establishment’s energy requirements. The following products were used:
18 Longi 405 Panels
Longi panels are known for their reliability and superior output, making them a perfect addition to the solar array for further energy generation.
2 x Growatt 6.5 Batteries
The inclusion of Growatt batteries allows the night club to store excess solar energy during the day for use during peak demand or non-sunlight hours, promoting greater energy self-sufficiency.
2 x Growatt SPH 5000 Inverters
Growatt inverters ensure smooth and efficient conversion of direct current (DC) generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) suitable for powering the building's electrical devices.
RenuSol Bucket Mounting System
The RenuSol bucket mounting system offers a secure and efficient way to mount the solar panels on the roof, ensuring stability and longevity.
Implementation and Results:
The MyHomeSolar team efficiently installed the solar panels and associated equipment on the building’s roof, optimizing their placement to maximize solar exposure throughout the day. The Growatt batteries and inverters were integrated seamlessly into the existing electrical setup.
Upon completion of the installation, the commercial solar system at Newton Turner’s night club started generating clean and renewable energy. As a result, the building’s reliance on the grid was significantly reduced, leading to substantial cost savings on electricity bills. The system’s performance and energy production were consistently monitored to ensure its optimal functioning and identify any potential issues.
Environmental Impact:
By switching to solar energy, Newton Turner’s commercial establishment made a positive environmental impact by reducing its carbon footprint. The adoption of renewable energy sources helps combat climate change and promotes a greener future for the Seaford community.
The MyHomeSolar commercial solar project at Newton Turner’s night club in Seaford, East Sussex, stands as a testament to the benefits of embracing renewable energy solutions. By harnessing the power of the sun, the establishment significantly reduced its dependence on the grid, achieved cost savings, and made a positive impact on the environment. This successful installation serves as a prime example of how businesses can play a vital role in driving sustainability and contributing to a cleaner, greener future.
