Description: The Belgotex project began not with installation, but with demolition — the full removal of a failing, non-performing solar system that had left the client with neither the energy savings nor the reliability they were promised. We started from scratch and did it properly.

Before we could build the future, we had to clear out the past.

The project

The Belgotex project began not with installation, but with demolition — the full removal of a failing, non-performing solar system that had left the client with neither the energy savings nor the reliability they were promised. We started from scratch and did it properly.

The new 2,000 kWp grid-tied system steps up to inject power directly onto Belgotex's 11kV customer network, delivering the performance the site always deserved. We have also taken over management of a further 1,400 kWp system already on site, bringing the total capacity under Sunbird's care to 3,400 kWp.
