Case Study: Ice Quest – 80kW Roof-Mounted Solar Array Installation
System Size: 80kW
Type of Installation: Roof-Mounted Solar Array
Annual Energy Production: 70,000 kWh
CO2 Reduction: 11,000kg per year
Ice Quest, a leading entertainment and leisure facility in Worcester, sought to minimise its environmental impact and reduce energy costs. The company was committed to sustainable practices and aimed to significantly lower its carbon footprint. They turned to us for a comprehensive solar energy solution. Solar Select’s task was to supply and install a solar panel system for Ice Quest. The primary goals were to generate as much clean energy per year to keep the ice rink running.
On the initial survey, the team conducted a detailed site survey to determine optimal panel placement. Within that, we analysed energy consumption patterns to design a system tailored to Ice Quest’s needs. Whilst coordinating with local authorities, such as the DNO, for necessary approvals.
Results and Benefits:
🔷 The installation successfully reduced Ice Quest’s CO2 emissions by 11,000kg per year, significantly contributing to their sustainability goals.
🔷 The solar panels produced 70,000 kWh of clean energy annually, covering a substantial portion of Ice Quest’s energy needs. This production translated to considerable cost savings on their electricity bills.
🔷 Enhanced Ice Quest’s reputation as an environmentally conscious business. It also provided a reliable and sustainable energy source, protecting them against future energy price fluctuations.
🔷 With the business using such vast amounts of electricity it contributed to global efforts in combating climate change by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
The successful supply and installation of solar panels at Ice Quest underscore our commitment to delivering sustainable energy solutions. By significantly reducing their carbon footprint and providing a consistent source of clean energy, we have helped Ice Quest achieve their environmental objectives while setting a benchmark for sustainability in the leisure industry.
Client Testimonial:
“We’re saving a lot of money on our energy bills. We installed at the right time just before the energy prices went up. This meant that we didn’t see the increase in bills that could have caused our business issues. The team at Solar Select were great. So much so that we have recommended them to other businesses.”
