At St. Luke's Care Home in Berkshire, part of the B&M Care Homes group, a 132.86 kWp rooftop solar PV installation is strengthening the site's sustainability strategy while supporting group-wide environmental targets. Designed and delivered by Spirit Energy, the system uses Trinasolar Vertex S+ modules and is expected to generate 59,776 kWh of clean electricity annually, reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 25,920 kg per year.
Ahead of installation, Spirit Energy carried out a full feasibility study encompassing structural checks, cable routing, risk assessments, and grid-connection requirements. The resulting solution features pitched-roof mounting fixed into the rafters, compliant electrical protection and metering, and online monitoring for ongoing performance visibility. Together, these elements ensure a safe, well-integrated setup optimised for long-term output.
Built around the demands of a 24-hour operating environment, the project was delivered without disrupting day-to-day care operations. It also provides a scalable blueprint for similar upgrades across the wider B&M estate, demonstrating how the group can roll out high-performing solar installations efficiently and responsibly. Spirit Energy's collaboration with Trinasolar underpins a reliable system aligned with the long-term sustainability ambitions of St. Luke's and B&M Care Homes as a whole.
