Dundee City Church

Dundee City Church, nicknamed ‘The Friary’ is a busy church campus located in the heart of Dundee. In addition to the Sunday services, there is a constant flow of groups and individuals throughout the week using their facilities and engaging in the activities they are running, both during the day and the evening. All these activities use a lot of electricity, so they were keen for a long-term solution to get their electricity bills down.

The challenges faced were providing enough solar power AND battery storage to cover daytime and evening load. Being a listed building added to the challenge. So we designed a system invisible to the street (and acceptable to planning) but providing enough electricity to allow the church activities to continue both day and night while minimising imported electricity.

Our skilled slaters installed the panels ensuring everything left fully watertight as well as repairing some historical broken slates while we were there. All internal cabling was neatly installed out of sight so the system is very much in keeping with the beautiful building.
