Marley collaborated with ADRA, the largest social housing provider in North Wales, on a new-build project that deploys a solar PV solution on the roofscape.
Requirement
ADRA is responsible for 6,800 properties and supports 15,000 local residents. Embarking on its own sustainability journey, the social housing provider needed an effective solar PV solution for the roofscapes of two new semi-detached properties constructed in Bro Pedr Fardd, Gwynedd.
Solution
A total of 12 Marley SolarTile® panels were specified across the two properties. The objective behind the product choice was to ensure that tenants would have access to a clean, sustainable and cheap energy source to support their daily lives.
The need to decarbonise housing stock and create energy-efficient, sustainable homes for the future is a vital element of the UK’s progress to net zero by 2050. With regulatory changes to building regulations under Part L now mandatory, those charged with delivering new homes are seeking practical and cost-effective ways to ensure compliance while building high performing homes.
Key to the project's success was the spirit of teamwork that saw Marley support ADRA throughout.
