Rooftop solar at Norbar Torque Tools trebles in size cutting business energy bills and carbon

Almost exactly seven years after the installation of our first solar PV array, we have completed an extension to the rooftop solar PV array at Norbar Torque Tools Ltd, trebling its size from 250 kWp to 778 kWp making it our second largest community-owned solar rooftop PV array.
Through the Low Carbon Hub community energy model, it will also lower Norbar’s energy bills while they consume more of the clean electricity generated on their own roof. The original solar array was initiated in 2015 with 1,000 solar panels. This extension more than doubles that installation, taking the figure to 2,180.
Over the twenty-year lifetime of the project, it’s anticipated the panels will save 1,900 tonnes of CO2 from being emitted - which is equivalent to 38 trees growing for a year.
