Overview
Resolute Engineering Group recently completed a bespoke Solar PV installation for St. Josephs Hospital - Donegal, helping the facility take a major step toward energy efficiency and sustainability. With high day-to-day electricity demand due to 24/7 operations, the hospital was the ideal candidate for a large-scale solar solution.
System Specifications
System Size: 50kW
Panels: 106 x AE Solar 475W high-efficiency panels
Inverter: 50kW Solis Inverter
Mounting System: Fastensol Ground Mount – designed specifically for ground installations, offering durability and optimal load distribution.
Design & Execution
Our engineering team designed the system to meet the hospital’s substantial and consistent energy demand. The installation utilised 106 AE Solar 475W panels, known for their high output and reliability, helping to maximise solar generation even in Donegal’s variable weather conditions. The Fastensol GM mounting system was selected for its compatibility with ground installations and proven long-term performance. The 50kW Solis inverter ensures high-efficiency conversion of solar power to meet the hospital’s daily energy needs.
