The M6 Galway to Ballinasloe scheme is located in the West of Ireland. This article will examine our latest Solar PV Case Study! The toll road is on the M6 Galway to Dublin route. The toll is approximately 13.5km West of Ballinasloe /42km east of Galway. The toll applies to the section of the M6 between junction 15 (Ballinasloe West) and junction 16 (Loughrea).
The Solar PV system was erected on a ground mount using ground screws, so there was no need for concrete. 260 panels were mounted on this facing directly south for maximum generation.
Two 50kWp inverters mounted underneath the panels.
In March 2023, Solarco commenced works on a 130kWp Solar PV system on their land adjacent to the motorway and their offices.
Longi 505w panels were used alongside two 50kW Solis inverters.
Two Zappi Electric Vehicle chargers were also installed for their vehicles.
Annual generation is estimated to be 120,999kwh. At current unit cost this results in a saving of €43,160 per annum.
We are delighted to share our latest Solar PV Case Study! Stay tuned for more updates from Solarco.
