At EvoEnergy, we are excited to announce the development of our latest innovation in solar PV technology – the H1Z2Z2-K Multicore Braided Cable. This cable is specifically designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of solar photovoltaic installations.

The Inspiration Behind the Development

The inception of this new cable was driven by Amendment 2 of the IEC Code of Practice for the installation of Grid Connected solar PV systems, which explicitly excluded the use of standard multicore SWA cables on the DC side due to their inability to meet the requirements for double or reinforced insulation.

Recognising the need for a more robust solution, we collaborated with Eland Cables to create a cable that meets these stringent criteria. Our goal was to maintain the mechanical robustness, protection against lightning surges, and ease of installation and maintenance provided by armoured multicore cables while adhering to the new safety standards.

Development and Features

What sets the H1Z2Z2-K Multicore Braided Cable apart from existing products in the market is its compliance with BS EN 50618, making it the only cable of its kind that meets the requirements for double or reinforced insulation in a multicore format for use in solar PV systems.

This innovation, though not a technological advance per se, represents a novel application of existing technology to create a new cable type that did not previously exist.

The cable is constructed using multiple cores of Solar flex cable to BS EN 50618 standards, paired in properly coloured DC cable pairs (4, 6, or 12 cores) and enveloped in a galvanized steel braid for both mechanical and electrical protection.

An outer sheath, also compliant with BS EN 50618, ensures the cable’s durability and safety.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Design

While the H1Z2Z2-K Multicore Braided Cable is not specifically designed with sustainability features, its enhanced protection and durability contribute to a longer system life and lower solar maintenance requirements.

This means less frequent replacement and overall reduced material usage over its lifetime, indirectly supporting sustainable practices and net zero.

Benefits and Applications

For businesses, the key benefits of using this new cable include increased resilience of outdoor electrical installations, enhanced protection against mechanical damage, and better screening against lightning and surge currents.

This translates to reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs over the system’s lifetime.

This cable is tailored specifically for the solar PV industry, providing a crucial solution for installations requiring robust and reliable DC cabling.

Practical Information

Installation of the H1Z2Z2-K Multicore Braided Cable is straightforward, and intended for use between string boxes and inverters, utilising standard cable containment methods.

Its design also simplifies testing and inspection during maintenance, making it easier to identify and manage compared to traditional string cabling.

The cable is manufactured to generally comply with EN 50618 standards, though it is not yet certified by an external testing house.

Eland Cables plans to pursue this certification within the next 12-18 months, aligning with market demands.

Market Impact and Future Prospects

We believe this cable will significantly influence the solar PV industry by meeting the increasing technical and quality standards for fire protection and electrical safety.

It provides an off-the-shelf solution for new and evolving industry standards.

Looking ahead, EvoEnergy aims to have the cable independently tested to EN 50618 standards soon and to explore additional cable construction versions, including a fire-resistant outer sheath variant.

For more information about the H1Z2Z2-K Multicore Braided Cable, feel free to contact us or Eland Cables directly.

Christmas 2024 – Where did 2023 go? With UK political and social life distracting the eye of the press, it may be surprising to learn that the solar sector has been flat out designing and delivering installations from the small the very large across the UK.

On the national stage the solar industry has been elevated to a position where it has its own taskforce looking at the enablers and the blockers to a fivefold increase in solar PV generation from 15GW to 70GW by 2035. This taskforce recognises the fact that without 70GW of solar in twelve years’ time, the UK will fail to achieve its net zero goal by 2050.

This increase is a massive opportunity for our sector that will require us all to step up our production and our performance if solar energy is to take its place as a recognised and reliable part of the UK’s energy infrastructure.

Within EvoEnergy, we have been just as busy. Some of the projects we have completed over the past 12 months are;

Aldi Leamington Spa Eco Store

The Aldi Eco Concept Store at The Shires Retail Park stands as a testament to Aldi’s commitment to sustainability, we designed and installed a solar system to supplement the store’s with eco-friendly design.

The store’s 209kWp solar PV system, accompanied by features like recycled lighting columns and a partial green roof, has become a beacon of clean energy generation. This system, consisting of 709 solar panels, is estimated to annually produce 167,409kWh, which is calculated at significantly reducing the store’s energy demand by 57% compared to conventional stores.

Positioned as a model for eco-conscious retail, the Aldi Eco Concept Store sets a new standard for the seamless integration of solar PV technology into commercial operations, inspiring similar initiatives nationwide.

National Cycling Centre

We successfully designed and installed a solar carport system at the National Cycling Centre in alignment with Manchester City Council’s vision for clean energy initiatives.

Our innovative solution involved crafting asymmetrical Y-shaped canopies, 3.5 meters high for taller vehicles, and implementing features such as Solaredge Module Level Power Electronics for enhanced monitoring and energy generation.

With a system size of 196kWp and an estimated annual generation reaching 171,788kWh, the solar carport not only contributes to sustainable energy but also incorporates safety measures, aesthetic considerations, and advanced technology.

Completed in July 2023, the project reflects EvoEnergy’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of solar solutions in challenging urban environments.

Royal Mint

We delivered a solar ground mount system for the Royal Mint, the official manufacturer of British coins.

The 2.19MWP system, featuring 4,056 panels, aligns with the company’s commitment to the Green Key Award, reducing carbon emissions and lowering energy expenditure.

Awarded the project through Infinite Renewables, we integrated the solar PV system into the private HV network, connected directly to the Mint’s site through a private wire arrangement. The bespoke containerised substation, constructed offsite, and the use of bi-facial modules and Huawei inverters maximise energy yield and efficiency.

The Royal Mint now boasts a reliable source of solar power, complementing its existing wind turbine system, and ongoing monitoring ensures optimal performance.

Rainhill

Using Solfit panels, we designed and installed a solar PV system, marking the largest-scale solar PV installation over clad roofing in the UK.

With a capacity of 1.17MWp and 3,115 panels, the project is not only estimated to achieve significant carbon emissions reduction but also addresses the challenge of a leaky roof through an innovative overclad PV solution.

This dual-purpose approach contributes to an estimated annual output of 942,930kWh, saving an estimated 195,250kg of CO2e in the first year alone.

The success of the installation was further highlighted by the addition of safety features like a man-safe line and maintenance walkways, along with the integration of a weather station and smart metering system, showcasing our commitment to innovation, problem-solving, and excellence in the renewable energy sector.

Harrods

We successfully addressed Harrods’ sustainability goals by designing and implementing a 1.6MWp rooftop solar PV system on their Thames Valley building.

Overcoming challenges like installing new infrastructure and executing a complex shutdown procedure, our teams showcased expertise in renewable energy.

Anticipated to generate an impressive annual output of 1,415,975 kWh and achieve a substantial carbon offset of 300,654 kgCO2e in the first year, this project not only met Harrods’ sustainability objectives but also set a precedent for future solar initiatives within their property portfolio.

To help deliver these schemes the EvoEnergy team has grown with a further eight people in 2023 and the breadth of our services now includes more detailed assessments of our maintenance services and the ability to provide embedded carbon calculations to our customers.

2024 looks like being another busy year as our customers continue their transitions to net-zero. We wish all our customers and suppliers greetings for the seasons and hope that they all have a profitable, low-carbon 2024.

As part of our ongoing commitment to community support and social responsibility, we are delighted to announce our sponsorship of the New Tupton Ivanhoe U11 Gold Football Team.

New Tupton Ivanhoe U11 Gold faced a challenging situation just four weeks away from the season’s start, lacking the essential kit to play and train.

Recognising the importance of youth sports and community involvement, we stepped in to provide the necessary support.

Mason Hamlin, the team’s coach, expressed his gratitude, saying: “We had no kit to play in, no equipment for training, and I had 12 young players relying on me to find a way so that we could actually play and take part in the season. We sent over 100 emails to local businesses in a plea to sponsor our team, and EvoEnergy stepped up.”

The sponsorship funds have not only enabled the team to acquire their much-needed kits but also facilitated the purchase of training equipment, jackets, balls, and a training kit. The entire team is immensely thankful for the support received.

We believe in investing in the well-being and development of our communities, and supporting youth sports aligns perfectly with our values. We are proud to contribute to the success and enjoyment of New Tupton Ivanhoe U11 Gold.

We are delighted to have received an industry standard certification from Carbon Footprint. We are now a Carbon Footprint – CO₂e assessed company. In order to measure this, we were assessed to an industry standard certification by CarbonFootprint.com (based on scope 1 & 2 emissions).

To complete this assessment, we measured our business’s operations on a multitude of different activities including our office operating expenses, flights, fuel usage and other sources of carbon.

Our assessment covers the period April 2022 – March 2023. This ensures that our results are comparable to the previous year. This latest assessment has measured our carbon emissions at 52.03 metric tons of CO₂e, which is 1.33 metric tons per employee. This is a decrease of 0.27 metric tons per employee from last year.  Not only is this lower than the previous year’s result of 1.6, but it’s also lower than our 2019 baseline.

Scope 3: Freight Assessment

This year, we have also calculated the emissions associated with our freight activities. The external assessor, Carbon Footprint reviewed our sea and lorry freight associated with the transport of solar panels from the warehouse to each site for the period April 2022 – March 2023. This was calculated at 93.27tCO₂e.

Ultimately, it has been another successful year for EvoEnergy, as we continue to innovate and expand our ever-growing portfolio of projects. Our 2024 holds many exciting new projects in the pipeline and we will be looking forward to new opportunities in the coming year.

The Current Issues & Solutions In The UK’s Renewable Energy Sector

Mike Salisbury, Managing Director & Jonathan Roper, Principal Renewable Energy Consultant appeared on BBC Radio 4’s show You & Yours to discuss the impact that the global economic climate is having on the UK’s renewable energy sector.

 

[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/lRxHTfxgYwU” width=”640″ height=”840″]

Transcription:

Jonathan Roper is the senior design engineer with Evo Energy, which installs a range of renewable technology at commercial and industrial premises.

Interviewer: How busy are you right now?

Jonathan Roper: Incredibly busy. I think we’re now looking at 2024 for booking and installations, and we’ve got a program in the pipeline that’s running through all of 2023.

Interviewer: Can you cope with the demand at the moment?

Jonathan Roper: The demand is high. We are at a stretching point in terms of our consulting and sales process. There are, of course, the lead times of panels, inverters, mounting, system mounting frame, and all the other elements of getting a project off the ground.

Interviewer: EvoEnergy’s managing director, Mike Salisbury says a shortage of materials is also affecting the commercial sector.

Mike Salisbury: We were very used to running a just-in-time business. The major key components were readily available within 2 to 3 weeks. The supply chain now is nearly 2 to 3 months. Plus, some components are on 6 to 8-month lead times.

Interviewer: His company is also struggling to recruit skilled workers. Partly, he says, because of the country’s historical unwillingness to invest in apprenticeships.

Mike Salisbury: Now we’re starting to see the repercussions of that come down the line. You know, people would much prefer to be back, sat behind a desk doing a design job than they will be going on-site and doing a physical job.

Interviewer: Do you have a staff shortage at the moment?

Mike Salisbury: Yeah, absolutely. It’s stumping our growth rate, we will grow only where we can find the right people for the business. It is causing us real challenges. We can find fresh young graduates to come and sit and do the job at the front end with design, technical and support, and project management. But as soon as we start to get down to the site in the physical jobs and work, that is where there is a real challenge, both in terms of the quality of the labor that’s available.

Interviewer: However, despite the pressure on the renewables industry and those willing to adopt the technology, Jonathan Roper believes they have a positive story to tell.

Mike Salisbury: All of the bad news in the headlines at the moment is temporary pain. They’re structural, they’re to do with international politics, and supply chains will find ways through that. What’s happening in the bigger picture is that everyone is looking to decarbonize, to go green, to take control of their own energy. And that’s a slow process. And these short-term pains won’t affect that long-term process.

I think businesses in the UK have a real opportunity to invest in manufacturing and production back on the UK shores. Costs of energy is going up, so there’s more money to be made. We’ve got the skills. We’ve got the manufacturing bodies in the Midlands and around the country to start doing some of this ourselves again. And we’ve seen some startups at the moment, but I’m really expecting more to come through in the near future.

Two electric vehicle HyperHubs are opening in York which aim to act as a demonstration of best practice for the design of EV charging facilities in cities.

The Monks Cross HyperHub, next to one of York’s Park and Ride sites, opens today and is one of the largest EV charging hubs in Northern England. It features four 175kW ultra-rapid chargers (which can be upgraded to 350kW when more EVs can charge at this rate), four 50kW rapid chargers, with an adjacent area having thirty 7kW chargers for Park and Ride users.

The HyperHub also has a solar canopy which allows the site to generate its own renewable energy which can be stored in the Tesla Powerpack batteries at the charging hub, helping to reinforce the grid.

The ultra-rapid and rapid chargers are user-friendly for EV drivers thanks to contactless payment. Cars and vans can access the chargers, and the facility has been designed with no kerbs to allow disabled access. Protection from the weather is provided by the solar canopy and all of the electricity supplied from the National Grid will be generated by renewable sources.

In addition to the Monks Cross HyperHub, a second HyperHub is also set to open next to the Poppleton Bar Park and Ride site in the summer, and a third site is due to open near the city centre in 2022.

The unique projects are the result of a partnership between the City of York Council and EvoEnergy.

A key element behind the development of the HyperHubs was the production of an Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy by the City of York Council. This looked at a wide range of issues in order to ensure that the HyperHubs met the needs of residents, fleets, commuters and through traffic. The convenient location of the charging hubs was a central part of the strategy, with the first two HyperHub sites being located off the ring road next to established Park and Ride sites.

The Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy also identified that it wasn’t yet commercially viable for the private sector to develop such charging hubs, so the City of York Council would own its charging network in order to guarantee the best results for residents. This allows the Council to plan how the network will grow and to set tariffs, as well as making it directly accountable and enabling it to deliver next-generation chargers as quickly as possible.

The funding for the HyperHubs is also unique, with the City of York Council successfully securing £1 million of European Regional Development Funding and £800,000 from the Office for Zero-Emission Vehicles, along with £400,000 of the Council’s own capital funding to install the first two HyperHubs. This has resulted in 80% of the £2.2 million projects being externally funded.

Cllr Keith Aspden, Leader, and Cllr Andy D’Agorne, Deputy Leader of City of York Council, comment “Our HyperHubs will allow electric vehicle drivers to charge easily and quickly using renewable energy. This will help us reduce emissions that impact on climate change and local air quality, and help us achieve our climate emergency goal of being CO2 neutral by 2030.

“EvoEnergy has been a critical partner in turning our vision into reality, managing the construction of the HyperHubs and successfully integrating the many different aspects of the projects.”

“In addition to charging points already available in car parks for residents living closer to the city centre, the HyperHubs – rather than on-street overnight charging provision – are part of our strategy for diversity of provision.”

Jonathan Roper, Principle Renewable Energy Consultant at EvoEnergy added “The York HyperHubs, with elements such as ABB rapid and ultra-rapid chargers, solar energy generation and battery storage, act as a technology showcase. Combined with GridBeyond’s management of the battery for participation in grid balancing services, the sites actually help to strengthen the electricity grid and will allow the latest electric vehicles – and the next generation of EVs – to charge in a hassle-free way, helping to reduce emissions from road transport in York.”

The 175kW ultra-rapid chargers mean that many of the latest EVs can gain 100 miles of range in 10 just minutes. In addition to the 175kW ultra-rapid and 50kW rapid chargers at the Monks Cross HyperHub, the 7kW chargepoints at the adjacent site allow drivers to charge over a longer period of time if they are using the Park and Ride or if they are visiting the shops and cafes at the Vanguard Shopping Park.

Users of the HyperHub are able to benefit from lower prices for Rapid and Ultra Rapid charging than would typically be the case for non-subscription customers of commercial operators, in part due to the battery storage solution. The York HyperHub chargepoints also have no minimum spend, and there’s no increase in the tariff for using contactless payment methods.

The management and optimisation of the battery for participation in grid balancing services is handled by GridBeyond, a provider of intelligent energy technology. This way, the hub will not only benefit EV users, but will also support the decarbonisation of the energy network by providing additional flexibility to the grid.

The HyperHubs project is already an award-winner, having scooped the Solar & Storage Live 2021 ‘EV Infrastructure Project of the Year’ accolade.

EvoEnergy is a specialist renewable energy company, offering a range of complementary services and technologies to secure its clients’ energy future and carbon targets. EvoEnergy consults, develops, designs, constructs, monitors and maintains projects to deliver financial savings and renewable energy for leading brands all over the country.
