Colchester-based Push Power Ltd provides utility-grade commercial solar solutions across major distribution, manufacturing, farming and sports facilities nationwide. The company’s portfolio includes bespoke solar PV roof installations at Silverstone’s The Wing building and, in partnership with Centrica Business Solutions, roof installations at multiple David Lloyd Leisure Clubs throughout the UK, together with ground mounts at Gressingham Foods Ltd.
In the inaugural land-use energy optimisation for a UK marina, Push Power Ltd will design and install a bespoke array of 1152 PV ground-mounted panels for SYH, with a capacity of 479,108 kW per year, the equivalent to powering approximately 133 homes. In addition, the project will deliver the first BESS storage system for a UK marina, with a capacity of 852.48 kWh, the equivalent of powering 86 homes per day.
Founded in 1967 and based in Levington on the River Orwell in Suffolk, Suffolk Yacht Harbour is a major hub for cruising, racing and boat maintenance, with 550 marina berths plus additional swinging moorings. In addition to multi-faceted workshops, two chandleries and eleven marine businesses onsite, SYH has the largest hoist capacity from Bridlington in Yorkshire to the Solent.
“This is a pioneering project for the UK’s marina sector” said Andy Khan, Managing Director of Push Power Ltd. “Push Power will design and deliver the country’s first ground-mounted solar PV and BESS system to energise a yacht harbour, resulting in optimal energy efficiency with significant cost-savings and greater operational resilience for SYH. We anticipate Push Power’s solar solution for SYH will cover nearly 50 percent of the company’s annual electricity needs, greatly reducing their reliance on grid power. Adding marine facilities to our wide-ranging portfolio of commercial clients demonstrates Push Power’s expertise and agility in delivering solar solutions across multiple sectors, upholding our client’s energy efficiency goals, minimising their carbon footprint and significantly reducing their overall energy expenditure.”
