Leading UK installers of commercial Solar Energy Systems, Centreco (UK) Limited, can announce completion of a 140kW installation for Ivor King at their premises in Nuneaton. The solar energy system consisting of 374 roof mounted tier one panels will allow Ivor King to generate their own green electricity, with the system predicted to save over 762 Tonnes of CO2 emissions over the next 25 years, allowing the leading piling solutions provider to the civil engineering and construction markets to reduce their carbon footprint, something of significant importance to the business as they seek to further bolster their green credentials. These CO2 savings are equivalent to 1,892,866 miles driven by an average passenger car.
Using the latest modelling techniques alongside site surveys, Centreco were able to design and install a bespoke solar energy system that matches Ivor King’s electricity usage profile, ensuring the best long term commercial returns for the business whilst maximising the available roof space.
With electricity costs on the rise, Ivor King, by owning the system are now able to benefit from equivalent fixed electricity costs of just 3.4p per kWh for anything they consume which is produced from their solar installation, projected over the next 25 years. This offers a substantial saving against grid supplied electricity rates currently available and protects against long-term inflationary pressures on energy costs. This solar energy system from Centreco gives Ivor King immediate savings and peace of mind that they are protected against any future price hikes.
This installation sits alongside Ivor King’s focus on the green future of the company and their environmental and sustainability policies.
Dave Smith, Finance Director at Ivor King reflected on the installation, “Having recently purchased a new building with an expansive roof, it seemed only logical to capitalise on its ability to house solar panels. We are always looking to be more efficient, and with the increasing cost of electricity, the solar installation was a ‘no-brainer’ as it will pay for itself within a very short time frame. Green credentials and carbon footprint are very important to Ivor King and we will be pursuing other green initiatives this year.”
Centreco’s Senior Energy Consultant John Williamson said, “From our initial conversation regarding the installation of a Commercial Solar Energy system, Ivor King made it clear their commitment to quality and the environment. As an independent family run business with nearly 50 years industry experience, Ivor King were keen to work with a Company that would deliver a well- designed and effective renewable energy system, an organisation that had control of its installation processes to operate to the highest quality standards on site whilst offering a cost- effective installation.
Centreco, manage all design and installation processes in house using employed skilled staff, we are in control of the system design, installation, and commissioning of a solar energy project from start to finish.

This system will future proof their business through self-generation of renewable electricity to deliver environmental and commercial benefits for the long term.”
