Amber Petroleum
Company Background
Amber Petroleum are a group of garages, with retail and fast food outlets, based in a number of areas across Munster.
Project Brief
Due to the nature of their business Amber had very high energy consumption and significant carbon emissions. Amber wanted to install a rooftop solar system on as much of their rooftop space as possible but they had concerns over fire safety and wanted a system with additional fire safety measures due to the installation being in a highly flammable area.
System Design
MarVal Power designed a rooftop solar pv system using Tier 1 panels and inverters to include Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI). The system was installed from start to finish with zero interruptions to the day to day running of the site.
Project Benefits
- This individual solar energy generating system produces 174,000kWh per annum of clean electricity for Amber.
- This will in turn is reducing their carbon emissions by 55 tonnes every year.
- In addition, they have assurance and can manage their budgets better knowing that their electricity costs are set at €0.04/kWh.
- As one of the largest fuel suppliers in Ireland, the implementation of one of our customised Solar PV projects continues to return substantial savings. This is the equivalent of €30,000 per annum against their energy bills.
Role of MarVal Power
- Design.
- Installation.
- Commissioning.
- Monitoring.
