What Chemical Manufacturers Say

"Our site has ATEX zones, which most solar installers won't touch. This team had experience with hazardous area classifications and routed all cabling correctly away from Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas. 250kW installed without a single safety incident. Compliance documentation was thorough and satisfied our HSE file requirements."

Neil W.

EHS Manager, Specialty Chemicals Manufacturer

250kW — ATEX-compliant installation — HSE documentation provided

"Polymer processing runs 24 hours. We matched the system size to our minimum baseload so we're always self-consuming everything generated. 350kW, 3.4 year payback. The carbon reduction also helped us renew our ISO 14001 certification with significantly improved metrics."

Karen S.

Technical Director, Polymer Manufacturer

350kW — always-on self-consumption — ISO 14001 metrics improved
