Some buildings are a very good match for solar. Endeavour House is one of them.
The team at Endeavour House in Stockton-on-Tees asked us to install an array across multiple roofs. The result is a system of 364 panels served by eight inverters, and the way the building uses energy is what makes the numbers work so well.
Self-consumption is the whole story
98% of the solar generation is used on site. Only 2% finds its way back to the grid.
That level of self-use does two things. It shortens payback, because every unit consumed on site displaces electricity you would otherwise buy at full retail price. And it protects margins from price movement, because the value of that displaced unit rises with your tariff rather than being fixed by an export rate.
Export income is welcome. Self-consumption is where the return actually lives.
Tracking ahead of forecast
In terms of projected energy harvested, the system is running around 5% above our predictions. Some of that is a bright summer. But we are seeing this more and more each year, and we tend to be conservative by nature when we model. The roof has rewarded that caution.
The system delivers a 3.7-year payback across the site.
Installation around a working building
The work was planned around daily operations through clear scheduling and tidy coordination. No disruption, no delays, no surprises.
Good project management never looks dramatic. It just quietly keeps things on track.
