Holy Angel University’s 178.68 kWp campus installation is made up of three separate rooftop solar systems, each connected to a different meter. Net metering is important to the design because the university’s weekday daytime demand is high, while consumption falls during lunch periods, weekends and school holidays, when surplus solar generation can be exported rather than curtailed.

The three systems also required different installation approaches. One array is installed on a high-rise flat roof and uses a ballasted mounting system, while long cable runs connect the arrays to separate electrical rooms and individual tap-in points. Construction had to be planned carefully around normal school operating hours so that installation work caused as little disruption as possible.

Since commissioning in April 2024, the systems have performed better than expected. The original SMA inverters and Sunova bifacial modules remain fully in service, with no equipment problems reported. Solaren was selected as a preferred installation partner after establishing a record of reliable performance on other businesses connected with the university’s owners.
