Our biggest rooftop solar array yet

In Autumn this year we installed what’s believed to be the UK’s largest community-owned solar rooftop. The 1MW array covers the new filming studio facilities run by The Bottle Yard Studios, who are best known for TV productions including The Outlaws, Chloe and Show Trial.

WHAT WE DO
