The UK's largest commercial rooftop planetary system has actually been unveiled at the Port of Hull.

The 6.5 MW selection, including 21,000 photovoltaic panels, covers the port's stockroom roof coverings and extends 34,980 square metres and greater than doubling Associated British Ports (ABP) Humber Ports' renewable resource generation.

The project entailed two years of planning prior to construction, beginning in October 2019 through to conclusion in August 2020.

Inverter manufacturer Fimer coordinated with the UK's largest solar programmer, Custom Solar to install 49 PVS-100-TL 100 kW inverters and three PVS-50-TL 50 kW inverters to power the roof facility.

Customized Solar handling director Matt Brailsford stated: "It is an additional honored minute for the Custom Solar team, Fimer and our customer Associated British Ports as we provide yet one more famous rooftop solar system.

" The project remained in preparing for nearly two years prior to beginning construction, due to the sheer intricacy of the system we delivered.

" With carbon decrease, CSR and keen monetary savings on the program of all huge firms throughout such a tough time, we see solar as the excellent fit."
