Our latest Commercial Solar Panel Installation
Our latest commercial installation was just outside of Coventry, at the Ryton Pools Country Park. The system we installed is predicted to fulfil 20% of the parks entire energy usage.
If you are keen to learn more about the commercial arm of Stratford Energy Solutions, and how we’re partnering with business across the West Midlands, Warwickshire, and beyond, read the below article from the Warwickshire County Council, or get in touch.
Warwickshire County Council (WCC) has taken another important step towards greener energy with the installation of solar panels at Ryton Pools Country Park.
Thirty photovoltaic (PV) modules have been installed on the café and toilet building, expected to produce13.59 MWh annually. This should fulfil 20% of the park’s energy needs and save 2.63 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year. Source: Stratford Energy Solutions.
The installation is part of the continuous efforts from WCC’s Country Parks team to improve environmental sustainability.
Their hard work has made Ryton Pools a beloved community space and a vital site for conservation and biodiversity.
At the forefront of this work is the biodiversity offsetting meadow, home to a vast range of species of plants and insects. A characterful flock of Hebridean sheep graze the wildflower meadow and help contribute to maintaining its health.
Surveys captured the impressive biodiversity spread across the site. In 2023, the team recorded over 51,000 moths from 650 species, including the rarely seen Dusky Clearwing, showcasing the positive impact of the park rangers’ conservation efforts.
The solar panel installation also sits within the broader council ambition to build a sustainable Warwickshire. WCC is installing renewable energy sources across its estate in order to meet the target of being a net zero organisation by 2030, as set out in the Sustainable Futures Strategy published at the end of 2023.
Councillor Heather Timms, Portfolio Holder for Environment, Climate and Culture at WCC, commented:
Ryton Pools Country Park balances Warwickshire’s residents’ needs with conservation and sustainability, serving as a great example.
Installing solar panels reduces the park’s carbon footprint and supports our goal of becoming net zero by 2030.
The Country Parks team’s hard work helps the environment and local biodiversity thrive for future generations. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!
