Having demonstrated a clear commitment to energy saving technology and environmental responsibilities in the design of its chemically bonded sand equipment, Omega Sinto Foundry Machinery Ltd has now installed solar PV panels to the roof of its Peterborough (UK) headquarters as part of the company's ongoing bid to improve internal housekeeping.
The 144-panel system is expected to generate 55,833kWh/per year, resulting in a five to seven year payback for the £69,000.00 investment.
It is the latest investment at the modern Peterborough site that already has EV charging points and flexible production, warehousing and office space.
Speaking about the investment, managing director Mark Lewis said: "It really does make sense to find ways of being smart about energy supply and energy usage, something that everyone is conscious of during this heightened energy crisis.
"We have been considering the installation of solar panels for some time and we are delighted to have been able to complete this now.
The savings are important, but so too is the opportunity to showcase our commitment to a greener way of working."
