The Challenge
Keith Faulds Motor Engineers was facing rising electricity costs and increasing pressure to manage long-term energy expenditure. As an energy-intensive business, reducing reliance on imported electricity while maintaining operational efficiency was a key priority.
However, like many businesses, the upfront capital investment required for a commercial solar PV system presented a barrier. The company needed a solution that would deliver immediate savings while preserving cash flow.
The Solution
A supplier we work with designed and delivered a bespoke commercial solar PV system tailored to the specific needs of Keith Faulds Motor Engineers.
Working closely with the supplier, the project progressed seamlessly from initial enquiry through site assessment, system design, and final installation.
The completed system includes:
A 36 kW solar PV installation
20.15 kWh battery storage, enabling greater energy independence and improved utilisation of generated power
To address the financial challenge, we structured a funding solution that removed the need for significant upfront capital. This enabled the business to move forward with the project while maintaining healthy cash flow.
The Results
The installation is already delivering measurable benefits:
Estimated annual generation: 24,013 kWh
Projected first-year savings: £4,657
Reduced reliance on grid electricity
Improved control over long-term energy costs
By combining renewable energy technology with a flexible financing solution, our customer has taken a significant step toward energy cost stability and sustainability.
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how the combination of expert system design and tailored funding support can help businesses overcome financial barriers and invest in long-term energy solutions.
Keith Faulds Motor Engineers is now better positioned to manage energy costs, reduce environmental impact, and future-proof its operations.
