With significantly high energy costs and the need to reduce their carbon emissions, Uni Mill approached Solarsense to design a solar PV system for their factory roof in Swindon. The 237kWp solar PV system is estimated to payback installation costs within 3 years and generate a net profit of more than £2.4million over the next 25 years.
“Like many organisations, we have become increasingly aware of our carbon footprint and are focused on the ways we can improve our environmental sustainability. As a manufacturer, one of the key areas identified was the high levels of electricity required to power our machinery, therefore we decided to install a large-scale solar panel system capable of providing enough renewable energy to help significantly reduce our imported energy. Working with Solarsense, we were able to analyse their projected data for our site and perform a cost-benefit analysis, which determined a 237kWp system would provide the optimum solution”.
