Ridge Wharf Yacht Centre, a busy marina and marine service facility in Wareham, Dorset, sought to reduce overhead energy costs and improve sustainability across its operations. In 2013, the management team engaged Save Energy UK to deliver a solar PV solution tailored to the site’s energy needs and coastal environment.
Save Energy UK installed a 52-panel solar PV system on the main building, with the system positioned to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day. The installation was designed to support the site’s daily electrical load, which includes lighting, workshop equipment, and marina facilities.
Since installation, the system has operated reliably with minimal intervention.
The solar PV array continues to supply clean energy, reduce electricity bills and enhance the site’s environmental credentials, an important consideration in a sensitive coastal setting.
