They\u2019re on a journey to cut their carbon emissions, which has included switching some of their fleet and warehouse plant to electric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide wp-block-paragraph\">They chose Good Energy Solar to install solar arrays across six Selco branches between 2022 and 2024 \u2013 bringing down their carbon footprint and reducing their reliance on the electricity grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>The Solution: <\/strong>A SolarEdge optimised solar array, saving nearly 87 tonnes of CO2 each year<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide wp-block-paragraph\">Good Energy Solar installed SolarEdge optimised solar arrays at six Selco branches across the country, including Barking, Romford, Stirchley, Sutton, Swansea &nbsp;and York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide wp-block-paragraph\">These solar panels produce a combined carbon saving of over <strong>87 tonnes a year<\/strong>, the equivalent of planting more than 5,100 trees. What\u2019s more, each array has a payback period of around four years, meaning a quick return on investment. Combined, the solar panels bring annual bill savings of <strong>\u00a3168,000 each year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide has-brand-yellow-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe installation of solar panels at a number of branches have resulted in significant reductions in our carbon footprint. When the system is operating at capacity, we are seeing the solar panels generate close to 100% of the energy required for the branch.<br><br>\u201cWe&#8217;re delighted with the impact we are seeing on the overall energy consumption where solar panels have been installed and we look forward to seeing further progress replicated across other branches over time.\u201d <strong>Craig Bowler, Head of Development at Selco<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"cta-bar wp-block has-dark-grey-background-color has-background alignwide\">\n        <div class=\"cta-bar__inner\">\n                    <h2 id=\"get-your-commercial-solar-quote-today\" class=\"cta-bar__heading\">Get your commercial solar quote today<\/h2>        \n                    <div class=\"cta-bar__content\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/commercial-solar-panels-for-businesses\/#enquiry-form\"  class=\"g-button\">\n                        <span class=\"link__text\">\n            Get a quote        <\/span>\n            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The challenge: Major retailer on a carbon reduction journey Selco is a builders\u2019 warehouse with over 70 branches throughout the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":3698,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[92,90],"tags":[],"cs-product":[99],"class_list":["post-5279","case-study","type-case-study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-retail-hospitality","category-warehousing-logistics","cs-product-commercial-solar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
