HBS New Energies completes 428 kWp solar installation at Kier Living Kingsmoor Park, a new sustainable community in Woking. The 371 solar PV systems now power the energy-efficient homes with a clean, zero carbon energy source.
Kier Partnership Homes appointed HBS New Energies as their trusted partner to design and install solar PV panels on all 371 new homes being developed at Kingsmoor Park in Woking. The inclusion of photovoltaics proved to be the most cost-effective solution to ensure that every dwelling achieved Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 and the 10% renewable energy target within budget.
In a joint venture between Kier Living (Central), Thames Valley Housing Association and Woking Borough Council this scheme provides a selection of contemporary 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes and 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, all built to a high standard. Now complete, the award-winning regeneration project has positively impacted the local area’s housing supply with 224 new affordable homes and 147 private units.
