We have a twenty year old, 3000m2 steel factory built behind the original c.1875 façade.
Our aim is to cover that roof with enough solar panels to power the site. In August 2018 we installed a 100kW solar system (355 panels) and in March 2020 we installed the next 100kW system.
Now, after upgrading our switch-room in November 2026, we will be adding a further 100kW to the site in 2027.
We harvest storm water from the roof into a number of water tanks (133,000 litres capacity) and use it for flushing toilets.
Waste generated on site is sorted into rubbish, co-mingled (plastics and bottles) and cardboard and paper and recycled accordingly.
There are no chemical products used on our gardens – we use organic weed killer on site.
