Daly's Circle K: cutting daytime electricity costs on a forecourt

Commercial solar PV fitted to a Circle K forecourt to bring down electricity costs on a high-consumption site.

The project

A forecourt and service station runs pumps, fridges, lighting and a shop through the day, every day, so electricity is a constant cost. We fitted commercial solar PV to the site to offset a share of that daytime demand, designed around a live, trading forecourt rather than a site that could be closed for the work.

What we did

  • Assessment

    We reviewed the forecourt roof space and the site's daytime electricity use before designing a system.

  • Install

    Commercial solar PV fitted to the site, timed and sequenced around normal trading hours.

  • Result

    Lower daytime electricity costs on a site that runs high loads every hour it is open.
