Leading installers of commercial Solar Energy Systems, Centreco (UK) Limited, announce the completion of an 81kW installation for Duraweld Ltd at their premises in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

The solar energy system consisting of 196 roof mounted tier one panels will allow this high-quality stationary manufacturer to generate their own green electricity, with the system predicted to save over 392 Tonnes of CO₂ emissions over the next 25 years. This allows Duraweld to reduce their carbon footprint, something of significant importance to the business as they seek to further bolster their green credentials.

Using in house resources, Centreco used the latest modelling techniques alongside site surveys, to design and install a bespoke solar energy system matching Duraweld’s electricity usage profile, thereby ensuring the best long-term commercial returns for the business whilst maximising the available roof space.

Duraweld is an highly innovative and creative manufacturing business, their stationery products are distributed into the healthcare, educational, legal and commercial sectors. They enjoy the NHS and the Football Association amongst their many prestigious clients.

Key to Duraweld is delivering value to this customer base and by substantially reducing its energy supply costs through the installation of a Centreco solar energy system, the Company has effectively hedged one of its significant overheads to a level well below market rate and insulated the Company from future electricity price inflation allowing it to better control product costs.

Duraweld own their installation outright and the Centreco solar energy system will produce electricity at an equivalent fixed electricity cost of just 4.9p per kWh for them over the next 25 years.

Tom Knox, business development director at Centreco commented, “From our initial conversations with Duraweld, it was clear that a commercial solar energy system would be a huge advantage to their manufacturing cost base. Like all of our installations, the benefits of a Centreco solar energy system offers immediate cost savings and will offer long term protection from electricity price inflation.

Duraweld are an innovative and astute manufacturer. In our discussions with the client their environmental awareness was obvious and like many high-quality manufacturing businesses a move to on site renewable energy generation through a Centreco solar energy system became a natural choice for the Company.

We are pleased to have worked alongside this forward-thinking stationery manufacturer and wish them well with the hyper low cost electricity generation plant we have delivered for them.
