I&N Fabrications Ltd

Having built a reputation as one of the UK’s leading fabricators of steel structures and fabrications, I&N Fabrications wanted to significantly reduce their electricity costs and explore alternative long-term solutions.

As a manufacturer of secondary steelwork fabrications in Shirebrook in Mansfield, the business is located within a two-acre site, which has played home to both its offices and manufacturing workshops since its establishment in 2007.

THE PROCESS

I&N Fabrications’ site is an engineering production facility that works 24/7, so to ensure there was no disruption, our team had to work closely with the client to discuss and agree on logistics, access and egress. Before installation, we created a full-site compound with scaffold access and handrails to provide our installation team safe access to working areas. Alongside our trusted project development partners Green Shield Group, we then installed two SolarEdge SE 33.3k inverters and 83 SolarEdge P801 Optimisers; coupled with 166 Longi Solar 375w PV Modules to complete their commercial solar panel system.

THE RESULT

I&N Fabrications is now generating its own electricity in a more future-proof way, which will see savings of more than £300,000 on its energy bills in 25 years, freeing up critical capex funding to expand production facilities.
