Introduction
Could you imagine a future where your business isn’t just known for its products or services, but also for its commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. This isn’t just a dream; it’s a reality that can be achieved with the power of commercial solar energy.
In the heart of Dagenham, Essex, the Fanshawe Community Centre has set a shining example by transforming their energy use and embracing commercial solar power. In collaboration with NXTGEN Energy, they have not only slashed their energy bills but also made significant strides towards a greener future. This success story could be yours too.

Assessment and Design
Understanding the Energy Needs
The solar energy journey of the Fanshawe Community Centre began with a comprehensive assessment of their current and future energy needs. NXTGEN Energy’s solar energy experts conducted a thorough analysis of the centre’s current energy consumption patterns to determine the best approach for their commercial solar installation.
Roof Space and Structural Evaluation
Evaluating the available roof space and the structural integrity of the flat roof was crucial to designing a commercial solar PV system that would maximize the efficiency of the commercial solar panels. By examining every detail, from the size and orientation of the roof to the materials used, NXTGEN Energy ensured that the system would be both effective and durable.
Customized Solar Solution
Based on the initial assessment, a tailored commercial solar panel system was designed. The 22,000KW system included 40 high-efficiency JA Solar Panels, each capable of producing 550W. These were paired with 40 SolarEdge S500 power optimisers to ensure each solar panel operated at peak efficiency and minimized energy losses. Read all the solar project details in the Fanshawe Community Centre Case Study.

Installation Process
Precision and Care in Installation
The installation process was carried out with precision and care to ensure minimal disruption to the centre’s daily activities. The high-efficiency commercial solar panels were meticulously installed using a specialist Vander Valk flat roof mounting system, providing a secure and stable foundation for the large solar panels.
Advanced Power Conversion
To convert the generated DC (Direct Current) power produced by the solar panels into usable AC (Alternating Current) power used by the centre’s appliances, a robust SolarEdge 20,000W 3-phase solar inverter was professionally installed. This inverter not only provided high conversion efficiency but also allowed for advanced monitoring and management of the solar system.
Optimising Solar Performance
The inclusion of SolarEdge S500 Power Optimisers ensured that each of the commercial solar panels operated independently at its peak performance, reducing energy losses due to shading or mismatched panels. This advanced technology maximized the overall efficiency of the commercial solar system.

Benefits and Impact
Substantial Energy Savings
The Fanshawe Community Centre now enjoys substantial savings on their energy bills, thanks to the 22,000KW commercial solar panel system. The reduction in energy costs allows the centre to allocate more funds to community programs and activities for the local residents in their community.
Environmental Sustainability
The centre’s commitment to sustainability has significantly reduced their carbon footprint. By harnessing solar power, they are contributing to a greener future and setting an example for other local community centres and businesses to follow.
