At A Glance
Haughley Block Plant, a leading manufacturer of concrete blocks in Suffolk, sought to reduce operational energy costs and enhance sustainability. With high energy consumption due to heavy machinery, they aimed to implement a solar energy solution that would align with their environmental goals without disrupting daily operations.
Challenge:
Haughley Block Plant required a solar installation that could seamlessly integrate with their existing infrastructure, ensuring minimal impact on production processes and maintaining the efficiency of their operations. Additionally, they needed a solution that would deliver significant energy savings to justify the investment.
Solution:
We designed and installed a 328 kW solar (PV) system that met the business’s energy needs. The installation was completed with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Key features included:

Tier 1 Solar Panels with A-Grade Cells for high efficiency

Secure Cable Management. All DC cables were carefully cable-tied to prevent overheating and maintain efficiency

A 10-year manufacturer’s warranty on the inverter for long-term peace of mind
Results:

Estimated Annual Savings
£80,000+ on energy bills

Co2 Savings
Equivalent to planting 5,440 trees

Payback Period
Expected within 4 years
