Killane Engineering, a leading player in the manufacturing sector, sought to reduce its reliance on traditional energy sources and enhance its sustainability profile by installing a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system at their primary facility. The company recognized the potential for significant cost savings and a reduction in its carbon footprint, aligning with its broader commitment to environmental responsibility.
The integration of the new solar PV system with Killane Engineering’s existing electrical infrastructure posed another challenge. The facility’s existing grid setup required upgrades to handle the additional input from the solar panels. This necessitated careful planning and coordination to avoid power disruptions, especially given the company’s reliance on continuous power for manufacturing processes. The engineering team had to design a custom solution that would allow for seamless integration without compromising the facility’s energy needs.
To address the issues, a detailed project plan was developed, incorporating a phased approach to installation and compliance. EnergyServ utilised advanced solar mapping technology to optimize panel placement, ensuring maximum efficiency despite the structural challenges. Close collaboration with regulatory bodies helped to expedite the approval process, while strategic scheduling minimised the impact of integration work on daily operations.
The project was successfully completed within the adjusted timeframe, resulting in a state-of-the-art PV solar system that now supplies a significant portion of Killane Engineering’s energy needs. This installation not only reduced operational costs but also bolstered the company’s commitment to sustainable practices. The project serves as a model for other industrial facilities looking to transition to renewable energy, demonstrating how proactive problem-solving and strategic planning can overcome significant challenges in solar energy implementation.
