Sycamore Park is a mixed development of 131 new homes and apartments for sale and social rent at Mildenhall in Suffolk. Viridian Solar worked closely with Persimmon's SAP assessors to discharge a planning condition that requires 10% of the development's energy to be generated on site by renewable energy. Eighty six houses are fitted with Clearline solar heating panels, reducing energy bills for the residents and saving 142,000kWh annually across the development.

The panels are roof integrated with tiles to achieve a discreet, low-profile appearance. Installation is carried out by the roofing contractor at the same time as the roof covering to give peace of mind that the weather-tightness of the roof covering is in a single subcontract package.

Simple plumbing connections are made by the plumbing contractor from inside the building at a later time. MCS accreditation is through Viridian Solar's Solarsure service.

Dee Park is the £150m redevelopment of a 40 year old housing estate in Reading to improve housing, roads, and open spaces and provide shops a new school and community centre. Catalyst Housing Group and Willmott Dixon are working in partnership to deliver the project in close consultation with residents.

Homes for social housing achieve the Code for Sustainable Homes level 4, and are provided with a 1.38kWp solar photovoltaic installation from 3 Clearline PV30 panels. Homes for sale meet Code for Sustainable Homes level 3 with an installation of combined solar heating and solar pv, with a Clearline V30 heating panel and Clearline PV30 installed as a pair.

The Clearline solar heating and photovoltaic panels have been specially designed for an aesthetic match and use the same roof integration detail. The low-profile panels form a harmonious component of the roof covering.
