Solar power in construction
In our last newsletter, we covered our recent installation of solar panels at Hinxton and are now thrilled to reveal their excellent benefits.
For many companies, the term ‘benefits’ refers primarily to profits or costs. However, while our solar panels do reduce expenses, our focus is on the environment.
Already, solar power in construction has made an incredible difference in carbon dioxide emissions. Between September 2023 and March 2024 alone, we saved approximately 7955 litres of diesel!
But what does that mean?
For 7955 litres of diesel, you could drive around the world approximately 2.5 times (assuming an average car fuel efficiency), or, if holidays aren’t for you, you could power your household for over 6 months (based on an average household electricity consumption).
Our solar panels were online 65% of the time during this period, and such reliability is to thank for the impressive reduction in carbon footprint. Their consistent energy generation has made an immense contribution to our environmental commitments and has saved money that can hopefully be re-invested into further sustainable developments.
