Kingspan Insulated Panels is celebrating the completion of the next phase of its ongoing drive towards sustainable manufacturing with the installation of one of its latest product developments at the state of the art manufacturing facility at Holywell. 2,900sqm of Kingspan Roof PowerPanel System photovoltaic modules have been installed on the roof of one of the south facing manufacturing buildings.

The building already combines the benefits of a number of Kingspan’s own products, from insulated panel systems to passive solar renewable energy generation in the shape of the EnergiPanel system, which produces solar air heating.

The addition of the photovoltaic array on the Kingspan KS1000 FC box profile roof panel makes the facility a prime example of the effectiveness of the ‘insulate and generate’ principle. The 406.08kWp system, which comprises of one thousand seven hundred and twenty eight 235Wp Yingli crystalline PV modules, is expected to generate circa 350,000 kWhr per annum, making a significant contribution to powering the plant’s electricity needs.
