Addressing climate change
Drakes Renewables initially installed a solar PV system on the flat roof of this university campus in Oxford. However, a year later, the space was needed for additional HVAC equipment. In response, we designed and implemented a bespoke mounting solution to relocate the panels to a standing seam zinc roof. Our tailored approach ensured minimal disruption while maintaining the system’s efficiency and structural integrity, allowing the university to continue benefiting from renewable energy without compromising its evolving infrastructure needs.
