Gilberts: proving value investing in carbon reduction

Gilberts are demonstrating by example how manufacturers can make better use of their buildings to improve their carbon footprint and optimise operating costs.
 
The company has just completed installation of its latest phase of onsite solar using its factory roofs to accommodate solar arrays. The latest addition will deliver a further 110kWp of home-generated electricity. It supplements photovoltaic panels already installed on site over the past decade and brings Gilberts’ total capacity up to 170kWp which equates to an annual electrical generation of almost 155,000kw. In addition a further two phases delivering an extra 139kWp are already in hand for completion this year. This will bring total onsite generation by solar to 294kWp
