PSA provided feasibility, Stage 3 Solar PV design and delivery support for a rooftop installation in Sheffield.
The project formed part of a wider building refurbishment, which also included a full re-roofing scheme.
As a result, the project team could coordinate the Solar PV installation with the planned roofing works. This approach made efficient use of the contractor’s existing access arrangements.
In addition, sharing access helped reduce installation costs and avoid unnecessary duplication.
PSA’s design supported a 106.56 kW rooftop Solar PV system comprising 288 panels. The system improves energy performance while supporting the client’s sustainability objectives.
CLIENT: Your Housing Group
LOCATION: Sheffield
NO. OF PANELS: 288
SYSTEM OUTPUT: 106.56 kW
ANNUAL GENERATION: Approximately 95,000 to 100,000 kWh*
ESTIMATED ANNUAL CARBON SAVING: Approximately 43,748 kg / year

SECTOR: Residential | Social Housing
CLIENT OBJECTIVES
The client appointed PSA to assess the viability of Solar PV technology for the building.
Importantly, the project formed part of a wider refurbishment and re-roofing programme.
The client wanted to improve energy efficiency and reduce long-term electricity costs. At the same time, the project needed to maximise the planned roofing works.
PSA also assessed the appropriate system size to maximise the value of the electricity generated. However, the solution also needed to remain within budget.
Following the feasibility stage, PSA progressed the scheme through Stage 3 performance design and delivery support.
OUR SOLUTION
PSA completed the initial Solar PV feasibility study before progressing the scheme through Stage 3 design.
Next, we coordinated the Solar PV installation with the wider re-roofing works. This approach made better use of construction access and avoided unnecessary duplication.
PSA also developed the building services design and coordinated the system with the existing electrical infrastructure.
Throughout delivery, we worked with the appointed contractor and wider project team to support the installation.
In summary, project elements included:
- Initial Solar PV feasibility assessment
- Stage 3 performance design and technical coordination
- Rooftop Solar PV layout development
- Electrical infrastructure coordination
- Delivery support and contractor liaison
- Compliance with current electrical and building regulations
THE OUTCOME
The project delivered a 106.56 kW roof-mounted Solar PV system comprising 288 panels.
As a result, the system will improve energy performance and reduce reliance on grid electricity. It will also support the client’s wider carbon reduction objectives.
The installation should generate approximately 95,000 to 100,000 kWh of electricity each year.
Furthermore, coordinating the installation with the re-roofing programme created additional efficiencies. Shared access reduced duplication and supported a more efficient construction programme.
