Solar Panel Success: A Year in Review

It has been a full year since the installation of solar panels on the roof of our primary production facility in Grantham (Dysart Road), and the outcomes achieved since September 2022 are nothing short of impressive!... "Despite the unpredictable and varied weather conditions over the past 12 months, our solar array has exceeded expectations, delivering substantial financial savings and contributing to BGB’s sustainability objectives. Since September 2022, the system has consistently generated a significant amount of electricity, with 97% consumed within the plant and 3% exported back to the grid. Even during short, cold, and wet winter days, the system continued to produce savings, showcasing the efficiency of the latest solar technology. Based on last year’s performance, we anticipate achieving a Return On Investment (ROI) sooner than the initially planned three years." - Keith Copeland, CI Implementation Officer A summary of our solar array's performance over the year: Total Savings Since Installation: £83,267 (Excluding export) Total Electricity Generated: 180,497 kWh Total CO2 Savings: 41,680 kg Percentage of Plant Electricity Usage: 27.4%
