The UK’s leading installers of commercial solar energy systems, Centreco (UK) Limited, announce the completion of a 44kW Solar Panel System for Wallwork Heat Treatment at their premisses in County Durham. The solar panel system consisting of 96 roof mounted tier one panels will allow Wallwork Heat Treatment to generate their own green electricity, with the system predicted to save over 185 Tonnes of CO₂ emissions over the next 25 years allowing the leading provider of heat treatment and hard coating services to the manufacturing sector to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. These CO₂ savings are equivalent to 466,672 miles driven by an average passenger car.

Using the latest modelling techniques alongside detailed site surveys, Centreco were able to design and install a bespoke solar energy system that matches Wallwork’s electricity usage profile, ensuring the best long term commercial returns for the business. By utilising Wallworks’s prime facing roof space Centreco could ensure an efficient and even panel layout whilst working to the operational criteria specified by the client.

With electricity costs on the rise, Wallwork are now able to benefit from equivalent fixed electricity costs of just 4.1p per kWh 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.

As Wallwork work for clients within the aerospace, motorsport and medical industries, they were facing increasing environmental pressure from this high-quality customer base to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The move to self-generated solar energy complements Wallwork’s focus on a green future for the company and contributes to its environmental compliance within wider supply chains.

“As a company we are always looking at ways that we can be more environmentally friendly and generating our own electricity using solar panels was the perfect way to do this. In addition, the current volatility of energy prices has reinforced the benefits of having a secure long-term supply.” Said Josh Fallows, Operartions Manager at Wallwork.

Centreco’s Business Development Director Thomas Knox said, “Wallwork are typical of many of the clients we are working with, in that they are facing increasing environmental pressure from their customers to ensure complete environmental integrity within the manufacturing process. This is of particular importance for Wallwork given the high-profile sectors they work across.

Solar energy is perfect in a high energy usage environment such as heat treatment as not only are green credentials substantially improved but a system also delivers immediate cost savings and peace of mind that the business is protected against any future energy price hikes.

Wallwork were a pleasure to work with throughout the installation process, from the initial contact with our design and development teams, through to commissioning of the system as they immediately understood the environmental and commercial benefits that a solar energy system brings to their company.”
