St Hugh’s was founded in 1873, when the property was acquired to accommodate two houses of French Carthusian monks in exile. The Carthusians are a Catholic monastic order founded in 1084 by Saint Bruno who live a hermetic life in a very small community. There are 21 Orders globally and 26 monastics commit to a life of solitude on the 240 hectare site in Horsham.
The Lodge of St Hugh’s is a Grade II listed building so the Order had opted for a ground mounted solar array to power the premises. We installed 500 x 410W Trina solar panels with a maximum output of 205kW. The projected energy yield of this system is 231,650 kWh with an annual saving/ total income of £27,196, payback period of 6 years 7 months and total co2 saving 2,307 tonnes.
With current electricity rates usually between 30-50p per kWh, the system will pay for itself within six years and seven months.
At OHM Energy Limited, we are committed to delivering excellent service and we understand that many customers may prefer the option of paying with finance.
