Barrow 1618 Primary School has become Shropshire’s first carbon neutral school thanks to the work of Cheshire-based Green Electrician Group.

Waltham Forest Council has turned its car park into a solar power plant thanks to the installation of a solar carport system from SolarTech Ltd.

Renewable Advice, a green tech company that specialises in manufacturing wind turbine blades and composites has turned to another technology to help it reduce its carbon footprint – thin film solar photovoltaic panels.

Southam-based building envelope contractor, Alumet, has retro-fitted an all new environmentally friendly façade to the face of their Warwickshire headquarters which was recently unveiled by legendary actor Brian Blessed as part of the company’s 20th anniversary celebrations. The external facelift lifts Jubilee House out of the 1970s and drops it firmly in the present by incorporating triple glazed windows and ProSol TF Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) into the fabric of the building.

Ryedale District Council is harnessing the energy of the sun to heat the Ryedale Pool in Pickering thanks to a huge solar thermal installation. The newly-introduced Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and ever increasing energy bills drove the council into investigating the possibility of installing a solar thermal system during a planned boiler replacement.

The newly-constructed Lisa Dixon Centre is to become Haswell and District Mencap’s new home and will help support all in the local community with learning disabilities, their families and carers, as well as the wider community. The centre was named in memory of Lisa Dixon, who sadly passed away after suffering with brain damage from birth.

Reed Chillcheater has embraced solar photovoltaic technology by installing solar arrays at both its offices in Barnstaple and Braunton. The wetsuit manufacturer approached renewable energy installer, Source Renewables, to design and install two bespoke solar arrays in order to lower the British manufacturer’s carbon footprint as well as secure its future energy needs.

A sheltered accommodation block in Lancaster is now benefiting from renewable heat and electricity thanks to a combination of solar photovoltaic and solar thermal panels.

St Robert Bellarmine’s Parish Church in Glasgow has become the third church in the Archdiocese of Glasgow to install solar PV in order to combat rising energy bills as well cut down their utility bills.

Chesham open air swimming pool has turned to solar photovoltaic technology to help mitigate the rising cost of electricity and dramatically reduce its carbon footprint.
