As part of Sunderland City Council’s drive toward sustainability and reduced carbon emissions across its estate, Oakes Energy Services was selected to deliver a rooftop solar PV system at the Sunderland Aquatic Centre – a popular leisure facility in Monkwearmouth. The project was designed to reduce energy costs, lower the site’s carbon footprint, and support the council’s broader environmental targets.
The system comprises 103 x 450W Trina Solar panels, delivering a total capacity of 46.35 kWp, paired with one SolarEdge 3 inverter for optimised system performance and real-time energy monitoring. The SolarEdge solution enables maximum energy yield from each individual panel, making it ideal for large installations like this, where shading or panel orientation may vary slightly across the roof surface.
