Emtec Energy successfully delivered a 290kWp ground-mounted solar PV system at Scottish Water Horizons’ Old Kilpatrick site, a key reservoir in West Dunbartonshire. This £485,000 project reflects Emtec Energy’s commitment to advancing Scotland’s low-carbon transition by integrating renewable energy into critical infrastructure. The installation consists of 548 Longi 530W modules and two SolarEdge inverters, designed to generate 261,605 kWh of clean energy annually. This output meets 46% of the site’s energy needs and offsets approximately 48 tonnes of carbon emissions each year, significantly reducing the site’s environmental footprint and aligning with Scottish Water’s ambitious target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
