Acquisition Systems
Wokingham, Berkshire

We were asked by Acquisition Systems, a provider of data acquisition and control solutions, to install our solar solution to help the business manage energy costs.

With the increase in energy prices, running costs at the company’s headquarters in Berkshire had become a concern, and the business was looking for ways to reduce its overheads.

InstaGroup offers the complete solar solution

When making the decision to install solar, Acquisition Systems chose InstaGroup because we can provide an end-to-end solution. The client understood the advantage of dealing with one company who could manage the project from start to finish.

ROI and quick payback

We worked with Acquisition Systems from the proposal stage onwards, impressing the client with the projected ROI and speed of payback from installing our solar solution.

Solar app and energy management

The client also saw the benefit of the InstaGroup solar app, which allows the business to monitor how much electricity is being generated. This includes the opportunity to decide in real time whether electric is sold back to the grid or used in the building.

Forward-thinking for every install

InstaGroup’s attention to pre-planning and technical design ensured the right system was installed for the business premises with minimal disruption.

Giving our client added value

The solar project had demanding timescales, and we held regular meetings with the client in advance to discuss the installation and confirm expectations.

The Acquisition Systems building was undergoing maintenance work at the time, and we liaised with the third-party contractor to use their scaffolding for the install, with only minor modifications. This delivered considerable cost savings to the business.

Efficient service from proposal to completion

We ensured an efficient process, from initial design and proposal to commissioning the system. The actual solar installation itself took just two days.

On completion, our comprehensive handover pack contained all the information the business needs to negotiate a feed-in tariff with their energy supplier. We also gave training on the InstaGen app, so the business can monitor the performance of system.

Complete commercial service for solar

Acquisition Systems chose InstaGroup for our ability to deliver the all-round solar solution.

We check planning regulations and building and roof capacity. We liaise with the local District Network Operator (DNO) to ensure that the local grid infrastructure can handle the proposed system design. And we work out solutions for potential issues such as site constraints, building access and business timelines and activities.

Expertise, flexibility and our own solar products

The InstaGroup team has an experienced and flexible skillset which ensures every commercial solar project goes smoothly.

We offer the further advantage of having our own in-house technical team who install InstaGroup’s own-brand solar products. This means we can provide our own warranties and guarantees and we’re one call away should the business need onward support.

Powering up business with solar

Acquisition Systems is projected to dramatically reduce its energy bills, and it’s estimated the business will often generate more electricity than it can use in the building. With the company fleet moving to electric and hybrid vehicles, charging EVs for the business through solar power will further reduce running costs.

The client is also pleased with the finish of our all-black solar panels, which add a smart visual impact to the company’s headquarters.
