750 kW Solar PV Scheme
A rooftop solar installation for transport operator FDC Holdings, cutting energy costs and carbon across their central distribution hub.
The problem
With a fleet of 120 vehicles and rising energy costs, FDC wanted to cut bills and emissions, targeting a 30% reduction in energy costs and 20% in emissions over five years, while strengthening its sustainability credentials.
The solution
We installed a 750 kW PV system on the roof of their central distribution hub, generating around 900,000 kWh a year and cutting reliance on grid electricity. Tier-1 Aiko panels and SolarEdge monitoring were specified for efficiency and reliability.
Delivery & results
Installed over two months with minimal disruption to daily operations. In the first year the system cut electricity bills by 35% and carbon emissions by 25%, while raising FDC’s profile with environmentally conscious clients.
“Cornerstone’s performance was faultless, all works carried out on time and within budget while units remained occupied.”
