Ground Mounted Solar PV Installation

Case Study: 4.1MWp ground mounted solar photovoltaic installation using krinner ground screws

Background

• Client: British Gas
• Partner: JPCS
• Location: Toyota Plant, Derby
• Date: 10th May 2011 – 8th June 2011
• Project size: 4.1MWp ground mounted solar pv farm
• Ground screws used: 6000
• FLEXIII Framing: 8.65km
• Modules: 16,800
• Trenching: 1,600 metres

Challenges

To build the largest ground mounted solar array in the UK at the time, using an innovative approach that delivered quality and timescale efficiencies.

Outcomes

• JPCS and Krinner expertise, together with ground screws and FLEXIII® systems were used to install the foundations and panels frames, on time, on budget and with exceptional quality outputs
•  A project that would have taken 12 weeks to complete was carried out in just 4 weeks, using an average of 24 skilled operatives.

“We chose JPCS as our partner for these projects because they demonstrated strong technical knowledge and a sound approach to project planning.” — British Gas
