The background

Booker Newton Abbott partnered with us to cut operational costs and carbon. After a detailed assessment we specified a 114 kW system engineered for maximum efficiency, rapid payback and long-term reliability.

Protecting the roof

Industrial solar can compromise a roof warranty. Through our partnership with roofing specialists NWIR we provided a single 20-year warranty covering both the roof and the solar system, removing the risk and the finger-pointing.

Fast payback, no disruption

Our design optimised generation and a 40 kW export capacity for feed-in revenue, delivering a 3.4-year payback with no downtime to the client's operations.
