Amber Petroleum

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 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 is, in turn, 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.
