Kingspan unveils solar roof on factory saying UK business can save £5bn

摘要

A Kingspan Energy study reveals a potential £5bn in annual cost savings to UK business from commercial rooftop solar PV, as the Yorkshire manufacturer unveiled its own mammoth rooftop renovation. Their study shows that installing solar PV on just 61 % of the country's 2,500km~2 of south-facing commercial roof space would meet the total current electricity demand of UK plc. "The immediate savings produced by adopting commercial rooftop PV can only increase the competitiveness of UK businesses. When you consider the increased savings over time compared with the grid, the opportunity becomes even more compelling,"said Gilbert McCarthy, Managing Director of Kingspan Insulated Panels.
