Increasingly companies across the UK are seeking out alternative, reliable sources of power to reduce their dependency on the national grid, minimise energy costs and increase supply efficiency. Waitrose’s Leckford Dairy Estate in Stockbridge recently installed 186kWp (enough to power 40 homes annually) of solar panels to work in conjunction with their traditional energy provision and Clipper Teas distribution centre in Beaminster installed a roof-top array generating 89kWp (enough to power 20 homes annually). By installing a decentralised network, energy can be generated and stored locally creating low-carbon energy. To small- and medium-sized british businesses it may seem all well and good that the multi-national business giants like John Lewis can embrace solar, but it’s time to spread the word – the opportunities for SMEs to embrace solar roof-top development are available too.
