Agricultural Solar Installation - Whitehouse Farm

90.4kW Solar PV System with 160 JA Solar Panels

The images showcase an impressive 160-panel, 90.4kW solar PV system installed at Whitehouse Farm as part of their sustainability initiative. This system is designed to significantly lower their carbon footprint and reduce on-site electricity costs, allowing funds to be redirected toward upgrading and maintaining the farm.

Whitehouse Farm chose Sustainable Energy Engineering for this project because they value working with small, local businesses - an approach that perfectly aligns with our company values.

The installation was funded through BEST (Business Energy Saving Team), a UK Government-backed scheme delivered via local councils. This initiative offers an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses to access funding for energy efficiency projects. We are proud to have a proven track record of securing work through the BEST programme.

Environmental Benefits:
– Equivalent to planting 1,373 trees per year
– 22,811 litres of avoided fuel consumption annually
– 25,924 kg of coal not burned each year

Our solar PV system will deliver significant environmental advantages by avoiding emissions from traditional power plants, helping Whitehouse Farm reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
