Specifications
The solar PV panels project began with the installation of scaffolding and hoists to provide safe access to the roof. As a retrofit specialist, Axis carried out a full strip of the existing roof down to the concrete substrate, with the removal of 60 outdated solar panels, the deteriorated roof coverings, and the old mansafe guard rail.
• Scaffolding and hoists installed • Strip out and roof replacement • Removal of old 60 solar PV panels • Installation of new 135 solar PV panels • Rendering, painting, decoration of tank rooms and chimney stacks • Installation of lightning protection • Bauder tapered roof system
A new tapered roof system was installed by our roofing specialists, incorporating insulation, water barriers, and a felt membrane. This retrofit upgrade achieved a thermal efficiency of 0.15 U-value, meeting building regulations. Following this, our solar panel installers fitted 135 high-efficiency solar PV panels, supported by inverters and battery storage. The new renewable energy system is designed to generate approximately 54,000 kWh of clean electricity per year. A lightweight plastic mounting system was used to reduce structural load while withstanding wind uplift forces.
