Shawton Energy recently partnered with leading UK kitchen manufacturer Panorama Kitchens in Liverpool to deliver a solar energy system that reduces both environmental impact and energy bills.

Powering Manufacturing with Solar
Energy-intensive industries like manufacturing face increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions while controlling rising electricity costs. For Panorama Kitchens, solar was a practical way to do both. By generating clean electricity on-site, they can reduce their exposure to energy market volatility and reinvest savings back into the business.
A True Partnership Approach
At Shawton Energy, we don’t just install panels — we deliver long-term energy strategies. Each project is tailored to the client’s operations, energy usage, and future plans. The Panorama Kitchens installation is a great example of how commercial solar can align with brand values, operational efficiency, and ESG commitments.

” Shawton Energy delivered our solar project with expertise and professionalism from start to finish. Their team’s deep industry knowledge gave me confidence from the outset, and they clearly outlined the benefits of the installation. Despite weather delays, communication was excellent, and we were kept informed at every stage. The contractors were professional, tidied up daily, and ensured we were involved throughout. The drone photography of our installation has been great for showcasing our sustainability efforts, impressing both clients and stakeholders. The Solar App allows us to track our energy generation in real-time, and it’s rewarding to see our carbon footprint reduction. I highly recommend Shawton Energy—they are a 5-star company in every single aspect. “
