The Motivation
Sustainability and future-proofing were at the heart of Portland Lighting’s decision to invest in solar PV technology. As energy costs continued to rise, the company recognised the importance of securing a long-term solution that would not only protect the business from increasing electricity rates but also contribute to environmental responsibility. The installation of solar panels allowed Portland Lighting to power its site with clean and affordable energy, while aligning with its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing.
The Ineco Solution
Selecting a Trusted Partner
Portland Lighting, alongside other FW Thorpe sites, chose Ineco Energy as its solar PV partner. Ineco Energy was selected for its expertise in designing and installing high-quality solar PV systems, as well as its commitment to providing operation and maintenance services for the life of the project.
Comprehensive Consumption Analysis
Before installation, Ineco Energy conducted a detailed site analysis to assess Portland Lighting’s energy consumption. This process was essential in determining the optimal system size to maximise energy efficiency and savings. By analysing both historic and forecast energy demands, Ineco was able to design a system that would continue to deliver value for years to come.
Seamless Implementation
Minimising disruption was a key priority for Portland Lighting, with Ineco executing the project with precision and efficiency. The swift delivery allowed the business to reap the benefits of solar energy without affecting operations.
Reduced Energy Costs
By generating its own renewable energy, Portland Lighting has significantly reduced its electricity bills, mitigating the impact of rising electricity prices.
Environmental Impact
The transition to solar PV has enabled Portland Lighting to lower its carbon footprint, supporting the company’s sustainability goals and reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
By integrating solar PV into its operations, Portland Lighting has not only future-proofed its business against energy cost fluctuations but also demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
