The Client

S&P UK is the UK division of the world’s largest ventilation and air movement products manufacturer, Soler & Palau. The company’s UK operations offer products and solutions for commercial, industrial, OEM and residential applications.

The company has achieved worldwide recognition thanks to its excellence in innovation, product quality and customer service and S&P UK Ventilation provides a one-stop source of both expert advice and first-class products to serve a wide range of applications and settings.

S&P also has smaller, popular products for residential use readily available through a wide range of distributors around the UK.

S&P approached SaveMoneyCutCarbon to carry out a full energy audit on their Ipswich site, which included proposals for LED lighting, solar and EV charging.

After an initial meeting, EV charging was highlighted as the company’s first priority. SaveMoneyCutCarbon worked closely with the client to advise on the best and most economical solution to meet their requirements and the full quotation was accepted by S&P.

The company required a charging infrastructure that would meet existing requirements but would be easily expanded to meet expected future requirements.

S&P believes sustainability and respect for the environment to be a key part of all its processes, and the focus on carbon reduction and energy saving is key to that mindset. It echoes the company’s firm commitment to improving product efficiency and energy savings through its EcoDesign design.

The EV charging solution will support the sustainability strategy by enabling the team to transition easily to electric vehicles, with access to a bank of chargers, and will give peace-of-mind to employees who are looking to purchase EVs but who might have concerns over availability of charging facilities.

The SaveMoneyCutCarbon e-Mobility team installed 6 post-mounted Easee three-phase chargers on 3 posts across 6 parking spaces with full load balancing with 2 dedicated EV three-phase 100amp distribution boards to deliver the right amount of energy and manage the energy flow across charge points, with surge and PEN fault protection.

The team also installed cabling infrastructure for an additional 4 charging units, when the client is ready to expand the EV service. The charging solution was also fitted with post protection, including bump stops and protection barriers.
