The new sustainable community at North Whiteley will see 3500 new homes built and will include a secondary school, two primary schools, a nursery and two local community centres, as well as playing fields and new infrastructure.

Meeting Bovis Homes carbon reduction targets with solar PV
The New Energies design team engineered a 179.7 kWp solar PV solution to ensure the Bovis Homes Whiteley Meadows scheme achieved its carbon reduction requirement through on-site renewable generation.
A sleek all black PV module has been specified and will be fitted to pitched roofs on selected apartment blocks and houses using our Complete In-roof Solar system. Array sizes have been maximised where we identified the most productive elevations.
When complete, the roof-integrated residential solar PV scheme at Bovis Homes Whiteley Meadows will generate an estimated 150,000 kWh in annual zero carbon electricity. The inclusion of solar panels will reduce the carbon emissions by up to 80 tonnes per year and provide an energy saving benefit for residents.
