TEMS Solar was tasked with installing a state-of-the-art 66 kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system for a well-known fitness company in Shirley, Hampshire. The project was completed on behalf of Mitie, a renowned facilities management and energy services provider.

Client Background:

The fitness company, a major player in the UK fitness sector, operates numerous locations across the country and is committed to sustainability and reducing its environmental footprint. The company is focused on improving energy efficiency across its facilities while promoting a greener future for its members and staff. Partnering with Mitie and TEMS Solar was part of their wider strategy to invest in renewable energy solutions for both environmental and financial benefits.

Objective:

The objective of the project was to design and install a 66 kWp solar PV system at the fitness company's Shirley location to:

1. Reduce energy costs by generating renewable electricity on-site.
2. Lower carbon emissions and contribute to the company’s sustainability goals.
3. Provide energy independence by reducing reliance on grid electricity, especially during peak demand hours.
4. Support long-term savings and increase energy efficiency across the facility.
