Project Title: High Heat Retention Storage Heaters, PV Arrays and Energy Storage to 4no. Sheltered Housing Complexes

Project Organisation: Angus Council

Technology Type(s): HHRSH, Solar PV and Battery Storage.

Location(s): Montrose, Forfar and Arborath, Angus Council

Grant Value: £783,851

Completion Date: March 2024

Project Headline: Clean heating and microgeneration to 106 homes across Angus

Project Description:

This project installed clean heating and microgeneration to 106 properties across 4 sheltered housing complexes. The project took place across Angus, in Montrose, Forfar and Arbroath.

The measures installed were HHRSH, solar PV and battery storage technology so that surplus energy generated by the PV arrays will be stored. This directly reduces grid demand and allows for energy harvesting and use on site when no energy is being produced by the PV arrays.

The project aimed to improve the EPCs of the properties from band D to band B. The project was designed to reduce tenants fuel bills and improve thermal comfort.
