☀️ One year ago, we installed 504 solar panels on the roof of our Wiltshire factory as part of our commitment to reducing environmental impact and improving energy resilience.
Twelve months on, the results speak for themselves:
✅ 215 MWh of renewable electricity generated
✅ 25% reduction in grid electricity consumption
✅ More than £37,000 saved in energy costs
✅ 38.16 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided, equivalent to planting around 2,522 trees
As Jonathan Rhodes, Finance Director at Leafield Environmental, explains:
"The solar panel system allows us to keep production running on clean energy, with long-term savings and stability built in."
This is a practical example of how sustainability investments can deliver measurable environmental and financial benefits.
