Background

This project marked the second Solar Together initiative undertaken by GSL and was the closest to our head office. The Solar Together scheme is designed to make solar power more accessible and affordable by bringing together a group of homeowners to purchase solar panels at a discounted rate. This project was a significant milestone, showcasing our commitment to sustainability and renewable energy in our local community.

Challenges

Supply Issues with Solar Panels:

Wattage Variability: We encountered issues with the availability of the specific wattage of solar panels initially planned for the installations. As a result, we had to provide some customers with higher wattage panels than originally specified. This required clear communication and careful management to guarantee customer satisfaction.
Supplier Delays: Global supply chain disruptions effected the timely delivery of solar panels. We had to coordinate closely with our suppliers to manage these delays and adjust our installation schedules accordingly.
DNO Notification Delays:
The industry experienced a high demand for solar installations, which led to delays in obtaining notifications from the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). This was a critical step in the installation process as it involved securing approval to connect the new solar systems to the grid.

To manage this, we implemented a proactive communication strategy to keep customers informed about the status of their installations and any anticipated delays. This transparency helped maintain customer trust and satisfaction during the process.

Results

Despite these challenges, the project was a resounding success:

Installations: We successfully installed 127 Solar PV systems. These installations included packages with JA Solar Panels (all black for aesthetic integration), Growatt inverters, and battery storage solutions. The systems were tailored to meet varying energy needs with options for small (3.3kW), medium (6.5kW), and large (13kW) installations.
Customer Benefits: All participating customers received reduced energy costs, contributing to their long-term financial savings and reduced carbon footprints. The installations also enhanced the value of their properties by incorporating sustainable energy solutions.
Community Impact: By implementing this project, we significantly contributed to the local community’s transition to renewable energy, aligning with broader environmental goals and promoting sustainability.

This project not only highlighted our capability to manage large-scale solar installations but also reinforced our commitment to customer satisfaction and environmental stewardship. The lessons learned from managing supply chain issues and DNO notifications will inform our future projects, ensuring even smoother execution and enhanced customer experiences.

Had solar panels installed by Grant Store and the whole experience greatly exceeded expectations. The process was very smooth, from the booking, to the communication of the steps, through to execution. It's a 3 day process (actually 3 half days). The scaffolders, the roofers and the electricians all arrived as expected and just got on with the job and all of them were friendly and communicated well. I don't usually leave reviews but this level of service deserves recognition

The two surveyor's who came out were very professional and personal, we had a laugh about one being a Wigan warriors fan and we're Rhinos fans lol. Then Rob who came out to fit the boiler again very professional and personal, very tidy workmanship. Can't thank your company enough, new boiler fitted in less than a week and easy to deal with.

Kate Field

The fitters arrived spot on time and both worked hard informing us exactly what they were going to do,Rob+Paddy were very professional and were good reflection for grant store. boiler installation was great but let down by not having a electrition on same day
