Midland Hardware
☀️ Another Solar Expansion – Midland Hardware
A great example of a business making the most of its daytime electricity usage.
Midland Hardware originally installed a 37 kW solar PV system, and after seeing the benefits, they have now increased their total solar capacity to 67 kW.
For businesses like hardware stores and retail premises, solar is particularly effective because the majority of electricity is being used during the day — exactly when the solar system is generating.
Lighting, tills, offices, warehouse operations and other electrical equipment can all make use of the solar energy as it is produced, helping to reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid.
By expanding from 37 kW to 67 kW, Midland Hardware can now generate even more of its own electricity on site and make better use of the available roof space.
