Case Study

RCS Plc, Retford, Nottinghamshire

Commercial 250kWp Solar PV Installation

RCS Plc approached Com Sol UK in 2020 to assess the potential for large scale solar PV across the available roof space at their main headquarters in Retford. Following a full site survey and feasibility review, Com Sol UK designed and delivered a combined commercial system totalling two hundred and fifty kilowatt peak.

The installation maximises the site’s existing roof lines, providing strong onsite generation and delivering immediate reductions in electricity costs. With output comfortably exceeding daytime consumption at points throughout the year, the system also enables RCS Plc to earn export income by feeding surplus energy back into the grid.

Combined year one value £49,300

Estimated payback Around three years

This project highlights how well planned commercial solar installations can deliver strong financial returns while helping businesses move towards long term sustainability targets.
