The challenge: Motor group facing rising energy bills
Like many growing businesses, Meadens Motor Group faced steep energy bills and growing pressure to demonstrate their environmental credentials. They needed a solution that would support their long-term growth while helping cut costs and emissions – without disrupting day-to-day operations.
The solution: Solar panels reducing costs by £17,000 a year
In October 2022, we installed a 63 kWp rooftop solar PV system at their site, using high-efficiency Trina Solar panels and a SolarEdge inverter with optimiser technology. The system is monitored through the SolarEdge app, giving Meadens Motor Group half-hourly performance data and full visibility over their energy use.
This installation gives Meadens Motor Group greater energy independence and a clear commercial advantage – lowering overheads by £17,000 a year while strengthening their sustainability credentials.
