System Details

Push Power designed and installed roof-mounted solar PV systems across 10 David Lloyd Leisure Clubs nationwide, with capacities ranging from 300 kWp (Manchester) to 631 kWp (Cambridge). These systems were tailored to maximise energy generation while addressing site-specific challenges and roof structures.

Meeting and Exceeding Expectations

The systems are performing above forecasted energy yields, showcasing their efficient operation. The energy output has exceeded expectations, with some sites generating more energy than anticipated.

The systems have reduced David Lloyd's reliance on purchased grid electricity, generating cost savings that will help offset the initial investment over time.

Installation

Performance Overview and Key Efficiency Results

Environmental Impact

The installations spanned 6 months and involved designing bespoke roof systems for various roof types (flat, domed, trapezoidal). K2 and Van der Valk mounting systems were used for reliability and durability. Health and Safety was prioritised, with stringent on-site measures ensuring compliance and minimising risks.

Industry Standard vs. Actual Performance:
The systems have 93.4% efficiency, significantly surpassing the industry average of 85%, demonstrating their high performance.

Total Energy Produced: 590,000 kWh

CO₂ Offset: 122 tonnes (equivalent to 5,550 trees or 44 homes for a year)

Energy Savings: Significant reduction in grid electricity reliance and energy bills.

The solar systems have offset 122 tCO2e- equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 5,550 trees- helping David Lloyd meet its sustainability goals with clean, renewable energy. They not only reduce the portfolio’s carbon footprint but also support long-term energy objectives, exceeding production expectations and delivering significant environmental and financial benefits.
