Cambridgeshire-based Nissan dealer JS Holmes has completed a new installation of solar energy thanks to Local Firm 4 Way Group.
The dealer, located in Wisbech St. Mary, is now equipped with 171 445-Watt solar panels on the groese of his workshop and showroom. The installation, which was completed by Local Company 4 Way Group, has a total capacity of 76 kW and is expected to offer around 40% of the dealer’s annual electricity needs.
Approximately 75% of the solar energy generated from the installation is used on site, with surplus electricity being traced back to the local grid. JS Holmes notes that the annual electricity costs saving means that the installation will pay itself within four years and will prevent 16 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year.
Alex Holmes, business director at JS Holmes, said: ” We are committed to stimulating positive environmental change and at the same time guarantee sustainability of our activities in the long term.
” Our investment in solar energy, in addition to our dedication to electric vehicles, emphasizes our ambition to lead the green transition. We want to thank the Local Company 4 Way Group for installing our new solar energy system – we had a great experience with them.
” With our strong focus on sustainability, we continue to demonstrate that the responsibility and commercial success of the environment can go hand in hand. ‘
Commercial solar -soil on the turnout
Nissan is far from the only company used on the roof of Zonne energy for its commercial building or even the only car company.
Last month, Ford Motor Company announced that it had submitted a 5.2 MWP Solar PV -Array for its Dunton campus, where the research and development carries out. The solar installation consists of 9,130 panels and 58,000 meters of cabling, and is expected to pay around 10% of the 55,000 MWh annual electricity story of Dunton Campus. Dunton is the second of the British sites of Ford to integrate solar panels, after he had previously completed a solar installation in his Daventry facility.
Meanwhile, luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) saw his plans announce his plans to install a Mass Solar PV system in its Halewood Manufacturing factory as part of an investment of £ 500 million to mark its flagship factory. The announcement has set plans to install 18,000 PV panels on solar energy in the Halewood factory, an installation that, with a total generating capacity of 8,600 GWh per year, will cover about 10% of the energy needs of the site.
