Filsol have significant experience in the design, supply and installation of solar energy systems to public sector projects: from schools, colleges and university buildings to civic offices and government properties, as well as village halls and community centres.
All our systems are tailored to meet the specific requirements of our clients and the particular design constraints of buildings. We provide detailed designs, assist in securing any available grant funding and complete the installation of the system to the highest specification.
Whilst we have undertaken numerous solar water heating installations on schools, colleges and other public sector buildings, our solar PV systems sometimes provide a preferable solution. Such buildings, where electricity needs are often higher than the requirements for hot water, often enjoy greater benefits by using larger available roof spaces to generate electricity through the sun's rays to either use on-site or export back to the grid.
Installation of solar energy technologies in public sector buildings provides a significant educational value by bringing clean, 'green' energy into the heart of the community.
Schools and colleges in particular can benefit from seeing well demonstrated solar energy installations in action. To support this we are able to provide digital monitoring equipment and software which allows the performance of the systems to be monitored and recorded for use in science or other curricular work. Systems can also be linked up to digital displays showing real-time performance which can then be positioned in prominent positions such as reception areas or assembly halls.
