Challenges:
- Large-scale installation on an expansive industrial roof.
- Integrating the solar system with the existing electrical infrastructure.
- Ensuring safety standards were met in a high-activity area.
Solution: Low Carbon Solar Installers designed a robust solar power system comprising 1,200 solar panels. We coordinated closely with the client’s engineering team to seamlessly integrate the solar panels with the facility’s power grid.
Results:
- Significant reduction in annual energy expenses by £120,000.
- Offset of 300 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
- Enhanced company reputation as an environmentally responsible manufacturer.
Northern Retail Group
