CASE STUDY 1
KENT 34MW – HELIOS INVERTERS, SUN EDISON SOLAR MODULES
Situation/Challenge
This farm was taken over in July 201 after experiencing very low production the year before, mainly due to faulty inverters and monitoring or network issues.
BGE Solution
We deployed our engineers on the site for 24/7 monitoring and analysis, and the whole site optimisation with a focus on permanent solutions rather than “quick foxes”. A large site with lots of issues, we deployed a team of engineers to work through the site inspecting, testing and repairing all issues.
Outcome
Following 3 months of remedial repairs to the system and the BGE touch, the site has now produce 500 MWh more than any of the previous 5 years of the park’s life representing an additional £45, 000 to the client every year r an extra £945k during the lifetime of the site*.
* This is against an annual fee of £50k, so net cost to the client was just £5k per year for a fully wrapped solution on their site.
