A college in the West Midlands required a renewable energy solution to reduce grid reliance, lower operating costs, and support sustainability targets. A ground-mounted solar PV system was selected to maximise on-site generation, paired with battery storage to improve energy management and utilisation.
Myriad designed and delivered a 103 kW ground-mounted solar PV system with integrated battery storage, providing reliable generation, enhanced resilience, and long-term operational savings.

The Client & Requirements The client required a trusted partner capable of supporting both the college’s electricity and hot water demands, while ensuring long-term system performance and reliability. A key objective was to simplify what would otherwise be a complex, multi-system project by working with a provider experienced across multiple energy technologies. Myriad delivered an integrated approach, designing and installing a solar PV and battery storage system alongside a biomass boiler solution, with ongoing maintenance support across the systems. This reduced project complexity, improved coordination, and ensured efficient, long-term operation of the site’s energy infrastructure.
Key Challenges As the site remained fully operational throughout the installation, careful planning was required to ensure safety and minimise disruption to staff and students. Works were coordinated to avoid interference with daily activities while maintaining a controlled and secure installation environment.
