The Challenge
Epping Leisure Centre wanted to reduce its reliance on grid electricity, cut operational costs, and support local sustainability goals. With rising energy prices and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility, the centre sought a renewable energy solution that would deliver significant long-term savings without impacting day-to-day activities.
The Solution
Sunlite Group designed and installed a 152.46kW solar PV system using the G Light Mounting System, chosen for its compatibility with the site’s green roof and minimal structural impact.
The installation included 345 high-performance 450W JA Solar panels, maximising available roof space to achieve optimal energy generation. The project was completed with minimal disruption to leisure centre operations, ensuring members and staff could continue to use the facilities throughout the installation period.
The Results
The installation significantly reduces the centre’s environmental impact, supporting local Net Zero objectives and setting a visible example for the community. The project also enhances the green roof’s sustainability credentials, combining biodiversity benefits with renewable energy production.
Annual Savings: £28,333
Lifetime Savings: £1,373,682
CO₂ Offset (Lifetime): 872,500 kg/year
The new system generates clean, renewable energy directly on-site, reducing the leisure centre’s carbon footprint and protecting against future energy price increases.
