Findlay Irvine Ltd is a Penicuik-based engineering company that develops specialist electro-mechanical and software products for transport applications. Operating from three dedicated buildings at its Bog Road site, the company supplies customers in more than 100 countries.
At the company’s operational premises on Bog Road, Gensource delivered an 82.80 kWp roof-mounted solar PV system across three buildings. The installation was designed to generate renewable electricity on site, reduce reliance on grid-supplied energy and support the company’s longer-term sustainability objectives.
The project was coordinated alongside roofing works and carefully planned around the requirements of a live commercial site. A total of 184 solar panels were distributed across the available roof areas, allowing Findlay Irvine to make effective use of its existing buildings for renewable energy generation without interrupting its core operations.
The system was connected to the site’s electrical distribution and incorporates SolarEdge technology, including panel-level power optimisation and import/export monitoring. This provides clear visibility of system generation and performance, helping the site team monitor renewable electricity production and identify potential performance issues.
These environmental savings support Findlay Irvine’s wider sustainability objectives while the on-site generation provides an opportunity to reduce exposure to grid electricity costs. SolarEdge monitoring also provides ongoing visibility of electricity generation, system status and energy flows, supporting effective system management over its operating life
