In September 2019, Spirit completed its biggest domestic install so far. The 15.99 kWp system spans multiple roof faces of the client’s home and nearby barn, which have a single phase connection.

In October 2019, Spirit installed the gorgeous limited edition red Powerwall 2 for a client in Northwood.
In September 2019, Spirit installed two Tesla Powerwalls for a client in Chertsey. An early adopter of renewable technology, Mr G has had a 3.88kWp solar PV system since 2011.
In December 2019 Spirit installed a Rolec SecuriCharge unit for Nuvola in Swallowfield.
In November 2019, Spirit finished installing a complete system for Mr L in Maidenhead - solar PV, Powerwall 2, eddi and two zappi chargers.
In August 2019, Spirit installed its first zappi version 2 at a house in Reading.
In August 2019, Spirit commissioned a 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall 2 to store power generated by an existing PV system in Croydon.
In February 2019, Spirit installed a 5.76 kWp solar array at this cottage in Haslemere. The system consists of 18 panels, divided across two pitched roofs. We chose monocrystalline Perlight panels, which have a high efficiency and concealed busbars for a sleek all-black finish.
In February 2019, Spirit installed a 29.9 kWp solar system for Jungle Jungle, a children’s soft play centre in Andover. The pitched industrial roof allowed for 98 panels, which are optimised with a SolarEdge inverter to get the maximum performance from each module. Generating over 24,000 kWh per year, the system should allow for 80% on site usage with the remainder exported to the grid. Output can be monitored via the SolarEdge portal, and the installation is estimated to be paid off in 6 years.
In November 2018, Spirit Solar installed a 15.95kWp solar PV system for Haydon M&E Ltd at Sugar Quay London. The PV system utilises 58 polycrystalline JA Solar 275W panels mounted on a flat roof, using ballasted A-frames inclined at 10 degrees. The annual output of the system is expected to be in excess of 14,000kWh, with the annual CO2 savings projected to be just less than 7,500kg.
In October 2018, Spirit installed a PV solar system for Ridge Farm in Buckinghamshire. The system array consisted of 30 x JA Solar 275W panels mounted on a 15 degree pitched roof, orientated just 10 degrees off south. As there is no likely shading and a preferable orientation the system is expected to achieve an output in the region of 7,500kWh per year. The estimated annual savings and tariff income amounts to £1,206 per year, giving an appealing payback period of only seven years. As well as the attractive economic benefits the PV system also has its environmental benefits with the system expected to save 3,880kg of CO2 per annum.
In January 2019, Spirit installed an in-roof PV system for a new build in Surrey. The property has a number of roof orientations, but the system was designed and installed on the south facing roof to give the best possible performance. The system installed consists of 18 x Longi 300W panels sloped at 40 degrees, giving a system size and peak power of 5.4kWp. This is estimated to equate to an annual output of 5,319kWh per year and in turn save approximately 2,700kg of CO2 per year.
In June 2018, Spirit installed and commissioned 6 Dual Socket EV chargepoints at St Giles Hotel in Heathrow, London.
In May 2018, Spirit were chosen to install a charging unit at Mega-Pak in Slough.
In 2017, a private landlord contracted Spirit to upgrade the lighting in the communal areas of their property in Bishops Court, Slough. This consisted of replacing 46 existing fittings with a range of new LED lights.
July 2017 saw Spirit carry out a 30 fitting LED lighting retrofit for a commercial property in Newbury, Berkshire. NCR Bodyshops' wanted existing highbay lights in their warehouse to be replaced with new 220W LED equivalents.
In July 2016, Meika Ltd contracted Spirit Solar Ltd to install LED lights in its office and warehouse complex in Reading, replacing 125 existing light fittings and bulbs.
The new fittings range from 600mm x 600mm panels in the office and meeting rooms to 80W LED Corn lamps and 5ft tubes in the warehouse.
Energy use will be reduced by up to 65%, with a total annual reduction in electricity use of just under 15,000kWh. The annual savings in running costs and replacement bulb costs will be £1,765+VAT; the project has a 3 year payback.
The installation will also improve lighting quality and reduce the need for maintenance of the lights. For example the panels give 35,000 hours service, which is 20 times the expected life of the existing fittings.
