Delivering Renewable Energy Under Pressure at Wealden Community Sports Hub

When Wiltshire Council needed a reliable renewable energy solution for their new Wealden Community Sports Hub, Airis was brought in to deliver. Working alongside KaraSolar and Sunninghill Construction, we installed a 169 kWp Solar PV carport system with 102.4 kWh of battery storage — turning a challenging project into a clean energy success story.

Project Impact: Key Metrics

Solar Panel Capacity (kW): 169 kWp

Battery Storage: 102.4 kWh

Annual Energy Consumption: 149 MWh

Installation Type: Solar Carport

Solar Energy Solutions: Project Detail Summary

  • Overview of the Project: We installed a 169 kWp Solar PV array on a purpose-designed solar carport structure, paired with 102.4 kWh of Sunsynk Battery Energy Storage. Working closely with the Sunsynk design team, we engineered the system to meet Wiltshire Council's energy performance requirements while integrating seamlessly with the carport structure and wider site infrastructure.
  • Sustainability Goals: The system will generate approximately 149 MWh of clean renewable electricity each year, directly reducing carbon emissions and energy costs for Wiltshire Council. The battery storage system enhances this further through peak shaving, load management, and time-of-use optimisation — maximising the value of every unit of energy we generate on-site.
  • Challenges to Overcome: Following the withdrawal of a previous installer at a critical project stage, we were engaged under a significantly compressed programme to keep delivery on track. We carried out all works within a live construction environment, coordinating closely with multiple contractors during the final stages of the Sports Hub build. Despite these pressures, we completed installation and commissioning within the required timeframe, delivering a solution that met the expectations of all stakeholders.

Testimonial Matalan

The LED lighting upgrade across our estate was a huge success, financially, operationally, and helped us reduce our carbon footprint contributing to our sustainability goals. The planning was meticulous from both Airis and Matalan to ensure there were no disruption to our store colleagues or a reduced shopping experience for our customers. The collaboration between Airis and the Matalan FM team was truly remarkable to upgrade 127 stores within a nine-month time frame with no technical issues or complaints just shows how hard the teams worked together.

Testimonial Fairhaven Golf Club

Following several recommendations, we engaged with Airis to deliver a solar project here at Fairhaven Golf Club. As an organisation, we prioritise sustainability throughout our working practices and to partner with a company that shared these values was most beneficial to the process. The project will see our annual grid consumption reduce by over 12% resulting in around 21,000 kWh of energy each year being generated. During the planning stages, we encountered several issues which the team at Airis helped to resolve. Their understanding, flexibility and practice applications made the whole process seamless. We could not recommend Airis more highly.

I’m naturally cautious when it comes to engaging energy consultants - However, working with the Airis Energy Services was a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. They delivered a 50% saving on our gas costs — a result that had a significant and immediate impact. Just as importantly, the entire process was handled efficiently and transparently. Everything was clearly explained, the options were laid out in a straightforward way, and there were no surprises. It was a pleasure dealing with Ross in particular. He was professional, responsive, and clearly understood both the market and our commercial priorities. He made what can often be a complex and time-consuming process feel simple and well managed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to any business looking to reduce costs and streamline their energy procurement.

The change to LED has been a switch we’ve been considering for a few years. It was just a matter of finding the right partner with the expertise to deliver it across all our sites. Airis Energy Solutions not only made it happen, but they upgraded 29 of our sites simultaneously with upfront costs kept to a bare minimum. The results speak for themselves.

Testimonial Hambleton Primary Academy, Over Wyre

We sourced Airis Energy Solutions alongside the Green Business Fund / Carbon Trust to install a full school LED Smart Lighting system. All our lighting was extremely outdated and was failing more frequently, at a significant cost each time. There is no capital outlay and the installation of new lights was a very efficient process, with all the old lighting being taken off-site afterwards. It has significantly improved the appearance around school, has reduced our maintenance costs to zero, reduced our CO2 emissions and will reduce our energy consumption over time.

To the Airis team. Just to let you know that we’re really happy with the work and the difference in the quality of the lighting. Your guys were a credit to you with their work ethic, getting so much done at night and also over weekends. I am more than happy to recommend your services in the future.

From start to finish Dave and his colleagues were fantastic to deal with. Very straight forward and completely transparent about the service. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend Airis to anyone who is interested. We had no disruption to our very busy factory and the fitters could not do enough. All in all, an excellent job!

As a business owner, I’m always trying to save money. It wasn’t until I worked with Airis Energy Solutions that I realised just how much money I was needlessly spending on energy. Thank-you.

I would be more than happy to recommend the Airis scheme and service. We have had all our lighting replaced with the Airis scheme, with this we have had no outlay or cost to ourselves.We are delighted with the results and would therefore recommend Airis to other businesses like ourselves.

This is fantastic. Well done to everyone especially Andy S, Kathy, Chris, Paul and the Airis team on the ground. You have all worked really hard to get the lights in and I am conscious that you have worked across the Easter weekend to get this done, thank you I appreciate this. There has been minimal disruption to our customers and our teams. Great work really pleased with the results!
