Executive Summary

The University of Stirling partnered with OCS to cut carbon emissions and reduce energy import costs across its central Scotland campus.

With sustainability at the heart of its operations, the University needed a solution that balanced environmental impact, energy efficiency and long-term resilience.

OCS delivered a bespoke Solar PV system spanning multiple rooftops, providing immediate energy savings and reinforcing the University’s commitment to a low-carbon future, all while maintaining full campus operations.

The Brief

Deliver a high-efficiency Solar PV system tailored to the University’s campus
Reduce energy import costs and carbon footprint
Integrate advanced fire safety and compliance measures
Maintain uninterrupted campus operations during installation
Rows of blue solar panels are installed outdoors, surrounded by green plants and foliage, capturing sunlight for renewable energy generation.

The Outcome

The PV system was energised with immediate impact, delivering clean energy from day one. With a projected annual generation of over 693,000 kWh, the University benefits from reduced reliance on imported electricity, improved sustainability credentials and enhanced energy resilience.

The successful collaboration has reinforced the University’s environmental leadership and demonstrated OCS’s ability to deliver complex infrastructure on live sites.
