On a 3 Phase system the maximum amount of PV that the ESB will allow you to connect is 11kw without having to put on G10 relay.
Under SEAI Better Energy Community Texaco was able to receive a 30% Grant to do the PV System and replace existing old lighting fixtures to new LED lighting fixtures.
Trina Solar was installed as it is a Tier 1 product manufacturer.
We installed 11kw on the roof of the filling station to offset emissions by generating on site.
This PV installation will offset approximately 10,000 kwh of electricity per annum and will do this for at least 25 years with no maintenance.
