Elmsbrook Eco-Town, Oxfordshire
UPOWA, Brickability Group’s specialist sustainable technology product and service provider, provided a roof-integrated solar PV solution for 228 zero-carbon homes at the award-winning Elmsbrook Eco-Town in Oxfordshire.
Elmsbrook is the flagship first phase of the North West Bicester Eco-Town and the largest true zero-carbon development in UK. Promising zero-carbon homes, abundant green spaces and a thriving local community, Elmsbrook is a blueprint for the future of sustainable housebuilding and living. The highly energy-efficient new homes feature a range of cutting-edge green technologies to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 5. UPOWA designed a bespoke solution for partner Crest Nicholson and A2 Dominion Housing Group - a roof-integrated solar solution to meet the site-wide carbon reduction target, roof specification and aesthetic needs. The UPOWA Inline Solar system proved to be the most cost-competitive solution to achieve the project’s sustainability targets and delivered a considerable saving for the client.
UPOWA’s installation teams managed all aspects of roofing, installation, electrical connection and system commissioning across the 228 homes. Integrating seamlessly with the roofs, the UPOWA Inline Solar systems are now helping to power the eco-friendly homes with sustainable energy, reducing energy bills and carbon emissions for residents. Each property generates a net energy gain from the UPOWA Panels.
