Supplier of sustainable building solutions Holcim UK has installed a new solar array on the roof of one of the largest locations in an attempt to decline his activities.
A total of 464 solar panels were installed on the roof of the Callow factory of Holcim UK, located near Cheddar in southwestern England, which organizes a hard rock-gorgeged brick, ready-made concrete factory and a construction project factory.
The development was managed by Rergco and installed by Aniron, and is able to generate more than 167,000 kWh of electricity per year, which meets around eight percent of the annual energy needs of the site. Solar -Energy Portal reached to request the total installed capacity, but had not received a response from the publication of this story.
The company has set the objective to reach the net missions by 2050. This latest installation on the roof follows earlier solar installations on Holcim UK’s Huland Ward and Bardon Hill locations in the past year.
Luke Olly, head of the decarbonization at Holcim UK, said that the company has planned various other diagrams for the low carbon arm for 2025, and added: “Renewable energy is one of the most important components of our net-dull strategy, and the more schemes we can produce, the more clean Sites,
Commercial and industrial activities look at solar energy on the roof
The solar efforts of Holcim UK follow a wider trend in the industry that has seen a number of important production, commercial and industrial companies install on the roof solar panels.
Last month, Ampyr Distributed Energy announced the successful completion of a 224 kW roof Sunray for the Lancashire headquarters of exotic mushrooms -producer Smithy Mushrooms, something that Smithy Mushrooms director John Dorian called an absolute game Changer “.
In the meantime, Health and Wellness Club operator The Bannatyne Group has installed solar panels on the roofs of eight of his health clubs, hotels and spas, after a collaboration with Shawton Energy. According to the Bannatyne group, the installations have already delivered considerable energy saving to the group, where each site protects the energy saving of no less than 25%, because the installations were completed last month.
The project was funded through a customized Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Shawton Energy. The Bannatyne group did not set in advance in the installations, which were financed instead by Shawton Energy, and will buy the energy of the installations at a fixed, cheap price.
