Energy-Efficient Solar Installation for Nottingham’s Cornerstone Church

EP Consulting completed an £80k photovoltaic cell installation for the Cornerstone Church in Nottingham. This 40kW solar energy system is part of a £4m new build for a modern and vibrant city-wide Evangelical Church, designed to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency.

Scope of Work

Our team provided feasibility studies, budget costing, and detailed mechanical and electrical design for the installation of the photovoltaic system. We focused on integrating this zero-carbon technology, ensuring compliance with Part L2 Building Regulations. The project aimed to minimise the church’s carbon footprint and operational costs through this renewable energy solution.

Challenges and Solutions

Integrating a photovoltaic system into a new build presented the challenge of aligning modern architectural design with energy efficiency goals. EP Consulting tailored the solar installation to complement the church’s structure, optimising energy capture and performance while maintaining the building’s aesthetic appeal.

Results and Impact

The 40kW photovoltaic installation at Cornerstone Church significantly reduces energy costs and carbon emissions, reflecting the church’s commitment to sustainability. EP Consulting’s expertise in renewable energy and low and zero-carbon installations supports the church’s mission to promote environmental stewardship, setting a standard for future sustainable building projects in the community.
