Commercial Solar PV – Fenwick Estate

Commercial | Social Housing | Clapham North, London

Overview

Located in the heart of Lambeth, Fenwick South represents a major step forward in London’s urban regeneration efforts.

As a 100% social-rent housing development, the project delivers 46 energy-efficient new homes across two distinct residential blocks. Synergy PV Renewables was commissioned to design and install a rooftop solar solution that would align with the estate’s rigorous sustainability commitments.

In a dense urban environment where buildings operate continuously and house multiple families, reducing the carbon footprint of communal energy usage is critical.

Our installation was specifically adapted for the unique constraints of a London housing estate, balancing strict building regulations with the need for maximum energy yield.

By integrating onsite renewable generation, Fenwick South doesn’t just provide housing; it offers a model for future-proofed, energy-resilient urban living, ensuring that social value and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

Performance

This solar installation is a key component of the wider Fenwick Estate redevelopment, a scheme designed to combine high-quality living standards with low environmental impact. The solar energy generated helps offset the electricity demand of the buildings, contributing to a lower carbon footprint for the development.

The project sits alongside other sustainable features, including communal landscaping, secure cycle storage, and future-proofed heating infrastructure. By generating clean energy on-site, Fenwick South demonstrates how commercial-scale solar can be effectively integrated into high-density residential planning, delivering long-term energy resilience for the community.

System Overview

To serve the two separate residential blocks effectively, we designed a split-system configuration that creates independence for each building while maximizing total output.

  • Dual Array Setup: The project utilises two separate systems, one for each rooftop. Each array consists of 11x 435W solar panels (22 panels total).

  • Inverter Strategy: Each roof is powered by a dedicated 5 kW inverter. This sizing ensures stable AC output specifically calculated to meet the communal energy requirements of the blocks.

  • Urban Integration: The layout was carefully planned to respect the architectural profile of the new development while ensuring optimal exposure to sunlight.
