Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service - Photovoltaic Cell Installation

EP Consulting successfully completed a £400k photovoltaic cell installation project for the Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service across five existing fire stations. This initiative aimed to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability through the integration of renewable energy solutions.

Scope of Work

Our team conducted feasibility studies and budget costing, delivering comprehensive electrical design for the installation of photovoltaic systems. This ensured that each station could effectively harness solar energy to reduce reliance on traditional power sources and lower operational costs.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the main challenges was retrofitting photovoltaic systems onto existing structures without disrupting fire station operations. EP Consulting’s solution ensured the installation of the solar panels would optimise energy production while minimising installation impact and maintaining operational efficiency.

Results and Impact

The photovoltaic installations have significantly reduced energy costs and carbon emissions for the Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service.
