Overview.
Brioche Pasquier partnered with eEnergy to install a solar carport at its Milton Keynes site, cutting carbon, reducing energy costs, and showcasing sustainability, all without disrupting operations.
Scope of works.
eEnergy delivered a full turnkey solar carport, integrating smart design, complex civils, and advanced tech, on a live commercial site.
Key delivery elements:
- System size:74 kWp (1,158 panels)
- Civils and structure: Soft/hard digs, low-vibration helical piles, Bluetop gullwing canopy
- Technology: JA Solar 505–530W bifacial modules; Solis inverters
- Monitoring: Battery-ready metering with GPRS connectivity
- Compliance: DNO G99 approval, structural/topography surveys, ground/utility scans, glint & glare assessment, and planning approvals
The system was engineered for minimal shading, maximum yield, and a clean integration with the site architecture.
Design led approach.
eEnergy’s precision-engineered design balanced performance and functionality, enabling high yield without compromising car park use.
Design scope included:
DNO and G99 submission; structural, topographical, and ground surveys; utility scan; glint & glare analysis; planning for canopy and substation; battery-ready monitoring with full metering; and an optimised layout to minimise shading and maintain visual appeal.
Live environment delivery.
The build was split into two phases to retain uninterrupted car park use:
- Phase 1: Maintained 60+ spaces and 3 EV chargers
- Phase 2: Added access to 55+ more spaces; kept rear building access open
- Re-routed traffic, clear signage, and comms maintained safe movement across site
Risk management and transparent delivery.
Early-stage ground and utility scans de-risked installation. RAMS and traffic plans were tailored to the live site, with fenced, segregated zones ensuring H&S compliance. Weekly progress reports, milestone tracking, and live monitoring supported client visibility and ESG reporting—delivering zero incidents and no disruption throughout.
Measured impact.
- Annual generation: 458,648 kWh
- Self-consumption: 6%
- Export to grid: 2.4%
- CO₂ savings: 5 tCO₂e/year
- LCOE: £0.19/kWh
- Designed for future battery and EV integration
With high energy usage during daytime hours and on-site EV infrastructure, the system maximises return while enhancing energy resilience.
Conclusion.
This project demonstrates eEnergy’s expertise in delivering technically advanced, low-disruption energy infrastructure in live commercial settings. Through smart phasing, robust engineering, and proactive communication, we provided a high-performance solar carport aligned to the client’s operational and sustainability goals.
