What Textile Manufacturers Say

"Our Yorkshire mill runs looms, dyeing vats, and finishing equipment — all high energy consumption. 350kW solar covers about 45% of our total usage in peak summer. The sustainability credentials are now part of our brand story when talking to fashion retailers, several of whom specifically ask for renewable energy evidence."

Priya M.

Sustainability Manager, Yorkshire Textile Mill

350kW — 45% summer coverage — sustainability credentials for retail buyers

"Technical fabrics for automotive and industrial use — our customers increasingly audit our carbon footprint. 500kW on our main factory roof reduced our Scope 2 by 68% and our electricity bill by £95,000 annually. The payback is on track for 4.1 years with the AIA deduction taken in year one."
