What our customers say

“Having declared a Climate Emergency in 2019, Wealden District Council needed to reduce its corporate carbon emissions and help to meet its commitment to becoming carbon net zero. Our commitment to reducing our carbon emissions, energy costs and our reliance on non-renewable sources of energy led us directly to the solar PV project at the crematorium. We were also keen to use the Council’s influence to inspire other businesses and home owners to invest in solar technology.” Wealden Council
