\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Northern Ireland engineering firm, PAC Group, has installed a solar PV system at software company Concentrix + Webhelp Belfast offices that is set to save the company between \u00a330-\u00a335,000 per year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sustainable energy solution was installed at their Maysfield site in the city and is an important step in reducing their carbon footprint and working towards net zero.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian Alexander, Renewables Business Development Manager at PAC Group said they performed a comprehensive roof evaluation and testing before installing the most suitable units.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPAC worked with specialists Bauder to create a design for the project and supply a roofing mounting kit and panels along with SolarEdge inverters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bauder Solar PV System is an integrated photovoltaic system where the modules and the substructure are combined to form a single unit which is secured to the roof without any penetration of the waterproofing or roof deck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working closely with Sr. Supervisor Facilities Management at Concentrix, Michael O\u2019Neill, PAC performed a comprehensive roof evaluation and got the roof spark tested for leaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian Alexander, Renewables Business Development Manager at PAC Group said: \u201cWe went down and built up a very strong relationship with Michael, he showed faith in us and we delivered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability for Concentrix + Webhelp to produce their own electricity will reduce their carbon footprint greatly, forwarding their efforts to battle global warming in Northern Ireland.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Peter Corr, Workplace Health & Safety Manager at Concentrix + Webhelp said: \u201cAs a global business, we recognise that we have a responsibility to support and improve our local communities and the health of our planet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChoosing to install solar panels at our Maysfield site is just one of our many initiatives to help reduce our carbon footprint and become a more environmentally responsible business.\u00a0 By installing the solar panels, we estimate a saving of 27.53t of Co2 which is equivalent to 1264 trees planted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 141.220kw system is the most lightweight system available in the market (9-12.5Kg\/m2) making it highly suitable for retrofit applications – where weight loadings are often a deciding factor on whether adding PV to an existing building is feasible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael O\u2019Neill, Facilities Manager at Concentrix + Webhelp added: \u201cIt has been an absolute pleasure working with PAC on this fantastic project. Their knowledge and expertise has been second to none.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
