Background

This project marked our fourth successful engagement with the Solar Together initiative and represented our largest undertaking to date in terms of solar panel installations. Having proven our capabilities in three previous schemes, we were elevated to a higher operational bracket. This new level of responsibility saw us managing an impressive 367 installations over a six-month period. For this scheme, we were awarded the contract for Cheshire East, including the prestigious Golden Triangle area.

Challenges

The project presented several significant challenges, particularly due to the simultaneous execution of another large-scale scheme in Leicestershire. At the peak of operations, we were managing over 950 Solar Together customers across multiple regions. Key challenges included:

  • Concurrent Projects: Balancing the demands of the ongoing Leicestershire scheme while initiating the Cheshire East project required meticulous planning and resource allocation.
  • Warehouse Expansion: To accommodate the increased volume of materials, we extended our warehouse facilities and implemented a new stock management system. This upgrade was crucial for handling the logistics of large deliveries efficiently.
  • Logistics and Storage: Managing the logistics for storing and handling deliveries of up to 1800 solar panels at a time was a complex task. Integrating the new stock system added an additional layer of complexity to the process.

Result

Despite the challenges, the project was a resounding success. We achieved the following outcomes:

  • High Volume Installations: We successfully installed Solar PV systems across 367 properties within the six-month timeframe. The installations included a mix of Solar PV only, Solar PV with Battery Storage, and Battery Retrofit packages.
  • Quality Components: The installations featured Longi 430w All Black panels and Growatt Battery Storage packages, ensuring high efficiency and reliability for the customers.
  • Efficient Operations: The expansion of our warehouse facilities and the implementation of a new stock system played a crucial role in managing the increased workload. These improvements allowed us to handle large deliveries and logistics more effectively.
  • Customer Satisfaction: By effectively managing over 950 Solar Together customers and delivering high-quality installations, we ensured a high level of customer satisfaction and maintained our reputation for excellence in the renewable energy sector.
  • Environmental Impact: The successful implementation of this project contributed significantly to the reduction of carbon emissions and promoted the adoption of renewable energy solutions in Cheshire East.

Conclusion

The Cheshire Solar Together Scheme of 2024 stands as a testament to our
commitment to excellence in renewable energy initiatives. By overcoming logistical
challenges and delivering high-quality Solar PV and Battery Storage installations, we
not only enhanced energy efficiency but also contributed significantly to reducing
carbon footprints in Cheshire East. This project reinforces our reputation for
innovation and reliability in the renewable energy sector, paving the way for future
advancements in sustainable community development.

Fantastic service from first contact to fitting. Call centre staff very informative, 1 simple form to complete then sign online. 1 week later boiler fitted. Surveyor and gas fitters very professional and everything cleaned up afterwards. Thanks.

Had solar panels installed by Grant Store and the whole experience greatly exceeded expectations. The process was very smooth, from the booking, to the communication of the steps, through to execution. It's a 3 day process (actually 3 half days). The scaffolders, the roofers and the electricians all arrived as expected and just got on with the job and all of them were friendly and communicated well. I don't usually leave reviews but this level of service deserves recognition

The two surveyor's who came out were very professional and personal, we had a laugh about one being a Wigan warriors fan and we're Rhinos fans lol. Then Rob who came out to fit the boiler again very professional and personal, very tidy workmanship. Can't thank your company enough, new boiler fitted in less than a week and easy to deal with.

I had Alex & Simon at my house. Hands down, they are the best workmen EVER, by miles. They arrive on time, are polite, super clean & tidy in their work & cleaning up afterwards. Spectacularly good work was carried out by them both. They clearly take pride in the quality of work they do & their cleanliness in people’s homes, which is sadly lacking for most trade's people today who just don’t care how shoddy their work is or have no respect for people’s property.
