Reducing Energy Costs with Solar Power
Clissold J H & Son Ltd
Background
Clissold J H & Son Ltd, a historic fabric and clothing mill in the heart of Bradford city centre, wanted to take advantage of their large south-facing roof to offset rising electricity costs. By installing a 37.35kW solar PV system, they aimed to improve energy efficiency and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
The Challenge
Operating a fabric and clothing mill comes with significant energy demands, especially in a time of rising electricity costs. Clissold J H & Son Ltd needed a cost-effective solution to reduce their dependence on grid electricity while ensuring minimal disruption to their daily operations.
The Solution
After a detailed assessment, Grid Neutral designed and installed a 90-panel solar PV system tailored to the mill’s energy consumption patterns. Using half-hourly data, we provided accurate performance predictions, ensuring the system was optimised for maximum savings and efficiency.
Key Project Details
Installed capacity: 37.35kW
Number of panels: 90
Location: Bradford city centre
Projected energy offset: 53% of annual electricity consumption
The Results
By integrating solar power, Clissold J H & Son Ltd is now set to reduce its carbon footprint and electricity bills, making its operations more sustainable and cost-effective. The system’s expected 53% energy offset demonstrates the power of tailored solar solutions in high-energy industrial environments.
