The project is located at the Robowatch facility within the industrial landscape of Lydd, Romney Marsh. The site consists of commercial units utilised for high-stakes security monitoring operations, requiring a robust infrastructure capable of supporting 24/7 mission-critical services. The building features a metal-clad rooftop typical of modern commercial units, providing an expansive surface for solar integration.

• Energy Saving: The installation has transformed the site's energy profile, with 63% of total energy requirements now met directly by solar generation. By integrating a 54.24 kWh battery storage system with intelligent peak shaving and grid-tied optimization, the client has achieved a 48% reduction in electricity bills and established a new revenue stream through surplus energy export tariffs.
• Sustainability Impact: This project significantly bolsters the client's ESG and carbon reduction commitments by offsetting 9.3 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Beyond simple generation, the system utilises advanced Sigenergy Gateway technology to maximize self-consumption, ensuring that clean energy is prioritized over grid reliance and reducing the overall environmental footprint of their security operations.
• Project Management: Absolar delivered a complex, multi-layered technical solution that integrated solar, battery storage, and existing onsite backup generators. Despite challenges including cut-edge roof corrosion—which required full remedial works by Absolar’s roofing team—and the need to maintain live critical operations, the project was completed with zero downtime for the client's monitoring services.
