    "description": "The University of Salford seeks proposals to supply and install additional PV generation to one of its buildings.\nThe Northern Engineering Robotics Innovation Centre (NERIC) was constructed in 2022 for the University of Salford, the first building on its new Innovation Campus on Frederick Road, M6 \n6AP. At the time it was fitted out with 15 kWp onto its higher flat roof. The roof was originally designed to accommodate more panels, but these were reduced in a value engineering exercise.\n2.0 Goods and Services to be provided\nThe University seeks to double the amount by adding another 15 kWp bringing the total to 30kWp on the existing higher, gravel ballasted flat roof, easily visible from google satellite, while \nstill maintaining access to service plant and the PV system.\nWe can provide hourly data for 2025 for import, generation and export and would want a model worked up using this data as a basis but on double the existing building consumption (c55,000\nkWh/yr to 110,000kWh/yr) as we are expecting this to rise very shortly. Modelling should show generation, import, export, costs saved over 20-year period as a minimum, carbon saved using \ncurrent grid carbon intensity, payback periods etc including inverter replacement at year 10. Work on a current electricity import price of 28p/kWh and a grid (import) carbon intensity of \n177g CO2e/kWh and an export price of 5.6p/kWh\nCan you please provide us with a proposal and quote to include.\n\u2022 A cost/carbon/payback model based on the above parameters.\n\u2022 A rough breakdown of costs in your quote rather than a single figure.\n\u2022 Provide the data sheets for the proposed panels, non-penetrating fixing system and \ninverters.\n\u2022 The combined panel/fixing weight as kg/m2 as installed on the roof.\n\u2022 State the panel and inverter warranty. If it doesn\u0027t already have it, the inverter should have a minimum 10-year warranty. \n\u2022 The generation meter provided or utilising the existing one will need to be linked to our BMS system.\n\u2022 How and where you intend to lift the panels and fixings onto the roof.\n\u2022 Provide a separate option for battery storage, it\u0027s price and impact on export.\n\u2022 You would be expected to carry out all the liaison for approvals with the DNO.\n\u2022 Comply with the University\u0027s standard T\u0026Cs for this type of electrical work.\n\u2022 Two references with contact details for similar systems you have installed.",
