Shining a Light on Sustainability: Solar PV Project at RENOLIT in Cramlington
At RENOLIT, we’re committed to shaping a more sustainable future. Our latest milestone? A fully funded solar PV project at our Cramlington site in the UK that’s setting new standards for energy efficiency and carbon reduction. A Powerful Partnership for a Greener Tomorrow When RENOLIT UK wanted to significantly cut carbon emissions, reduce energy costs, and boost on-site generation, without the requirement to use any of their capital, they knew that collaboration was key. Together with Zestec Renewable Energy, Seed Renewables Limited, and Octopus Energy Generation, they’ve implemented a 1.76 MWp solar solution producing 1.47 GWh of electricity annually that combines rooftop and carport solar arrays, along with an integrated EV charging infrastructure.
The results speak for themselves: • 331 tonnes of CO₂ reduction forecast in the first year • 97% of generated solar power used directly on site • Cost savings already being realised • Improved long term energy resilience • Reduced reliance on the national grid Engineering Excellence Meets Smart Planning This project came with a few challenges. For example, we needed to keep the car park accessible while work was underway, and we had to strengthen the warehouse roof before installing the solar panels. Our teams managed these tasks by planning carefully and working closely together.
