Project Objectives and Challenges

Objectives

Morgan’s Fine Fish had a clear vision of embracing renewable energy and reducing their environmental impact. The primary objectives of this project were to:

  • Implement a solar PV system to generate clean energy on-site.
  • Reduce the company’s reliance on conventional energy sources.
  • Enhance energy efficiency and lower operational costs.

Challenges

During the project, we faced the challenge of designing the solar installation to meet Morgan’s Fine Fish’s unique requirements. However, with close collaboration and expertise, we overcame the challenge and ensured optimal placement of the solar panels to maximise energy generation.

Solar PV System Implementation

Solar Panels and Inverters

MarVal Power recommended and installed a customised solar PV system at Morgan’s Fine Fish. The system included:

  • 125 Longi 415W PV solar panels renowned for their efficiency and durability.
  • 2 x 25kW SMA Core 1 inverters to convert solar energy into usable electricity.

Energy Generation and Environmental Impact

The installed solar PV system has a capacity of 55kWp. This not only helps Morgan’s Fine Fish lower their carbon footprint and reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to a more sustainable future. The system’s green energy generation aligns with Morgan’s Fine Fish’s commitment to environmental responsibility and high standards.
