🔋SOLAR CANOPIES COMPLETION🔋 Principal Contractor Briggs & Forrester Special Projects have completed the solar PV canopies project at One Leisure Centre in St Ives, Cambridgeshire. The installation of the structure, solar panels, civils and adaptation of existing car park lighting for Client Huntingdonshire District Council forming part of the Councils goal of being net zero by 2040. The safety and segregation of the works and public was a key consideration on the project, as well as ensuring the site remained operational throughout the works. Solar canopy car parks are becoming a popular feature throughout the UK and parts of Europe, providing angled solar panels mounted on steel supports. They offer benefits two-fold by shading the vehicles parked beneath them from sun, rain and snow whilst harvesting the sunlight to provide ‘free’ power. Also known as ‘car ports’, car park owners of both public and private properties can convert their existing car parks to benefit from this technology, effectively maximising space making them a better alternative to the regular solar farms. #Energy #Solar #PV #SolarCanopies #CarPorts #SolarFarms #Construction #Engineering #BuildingServices #MEP
