Push Power Ltd, premier UK provider of high-performance commercial solar power solutions, is underway to design and deliver the first ground-mount solar PV and BESS system for a UK marina at Suffolk Yacht Harbour (SYH) the leading independent marina on the East Coast.
With a track record spanning over a decade, Colchester-based Push Power Ltd provides utility-grade commercial solar solutions across major distribution, manufacturing, farming and sports facilities nationwide. The company’s portfolio includes bespoke solar PV roof installations at Silverstone’s iconic building The Wing and, in partnership with Centrica Business Solutions, roof installations at multiple David Lloyd Leisure Clubs throughout the UK, together with ground mounts at Gressingham Foods Ltd.
In the inaugural land-use energy optimisation for a UK marina, Push Power Ltd will design and install a bespoke array of 1152 PV ground-mounted panels for SYH, with a capacity of 479,108 kW per year, the equivalent to powering approximately 133 homes. In addition, the project will deliver the first BESS storage system for a UK marina, with a capacity of 852.48 kWh, the equivalent of powering 86 homes per day.
Founded in 1967 and based in Levington on the River Orwell in Suffolk, Suffolk Yacht Harbour is a major hub for cruising, racing and boat maintenance, with 550 marina berths plus additional swinging moorings. In addition to multi-faceted workshops, two chandleries and eleven marine businesses onsite, SYH has the largest hoist capacity from Bridlington in Yorkshire to the Solent.
Andy Khan, Managing Director of Push Power Ltd said, “This is a pioneering project for the UK’s marina sector. Push Power will design and deliver the country’s first ground-mounted solar PV and BESS system to energise a yacht harbour, resulting in optimal energy efficiency with significant cost-savings and greater operational resilience for SYH. We anticipate Push Power’s solar solution for SYH will cover nearly 50% of the company’s annual electricity needs, greatly reducing their reliance on grid power.”
He continued, “Adding marine facilities to our wide-ranging portfolio of commercial clients demonstrates Push Power’s expertise and agility in delivering solar solutions across multiple sectors, upholding our client’s energy efficiency goals, minimising their carbon footprint and significantly reducing their overall energy expenditure.”
Josh Major, Managing Director at Suffolk Yacht Harbour commented, “We’re very pleased to be working with Push Power on this project, which marks an important step forward for Suffolk Yacht Harbour.
“As a working harbour, we’re always looking for ways to evolve responsibly - supporting the businesses and people based here while reducing our impact on the environment around us.
“This installation reflects a long-term commitment to the future of the harbour, helping us move towards more sustainable operations while remaining true to the character and heritage of the site.” ENDS
