Addressing climate change
Simon Balle School directly engaged Drakes Renewables to install a 50 kWp solar PV system on their existing flat roof to help offset electricity costs and benefit from the Feed-in Tariff. The installation was completed during the school’s half term to minimise disruption to daily operations. Following the successful installation and the client’s satisfaction, we were invited back to install an additional 30 kWp system at the primary school on the same campus.
Drakes were professional and helpful throughout the two installations we used them for. They provided more insight into the project than other providers during a competitive tendering process and I believe we have a better outcome because of it.
