A planning application has recently been submitted to install 476 solar panels, proposed to be installed at the Gelder Group head office.
The mini solar farm proposal includes ground mounted panels, located in two areas around the Gelder lake. In addition, roof mounted PV panels are proposed on both the training centre and garage/stores portal buildings.
The £300k investment will both vastly reduce both the group’s electricity costs and reduce its carbon footprint.
This investment is part of our plan to become carbon neutral and achieve BSI PAS 2060 accreditation.
This is a realistic design and plan that does not impact on anyone else or change the natural environment of the surrounding area. It is entirely proportionate and is about net zero rather than money generation,
