Executive Summary<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

The University of Stirling<\/a> partnered with OCS to cut carbon emissions and reduce energy import costs across its central Scotland campus.<\/p>\n

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

OCS delivered a bespoke Solar PV system spanning multiple rooftops, providing immediate energy savings and reinforcing the University\u2019s commitment to a low-carbon future, all while maintaining full campus operations.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Outcome <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n

The successful collaboration has reinforced the University\u2019s environmental leadership and demonstrated OCS\u2019s ability to deliver complex infrastructure on live sites.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
