Project Details
Maybrey Precision Castings
They produce aluminium gravity die castings and have a sand foundry at their site, producing specific cast irons, SG, bronze and aluminium.
Having already worked to improve its sustainability by introducing sand recycling, low-energy machinery and removing all fossil fuels from its production process, Maybrey Precision Castings wanted to do all it could to reduce its carbon footprint further.
Producing up to 50% of their energy demand
Reduction in energy grid reliance
Protected from future energy price hikes
The Process
Bespoke Solar Solution
Shawton Energy worked throughout a four-week installation process at the site in Aylesford to improve sustainability.
Non-Disruptive Installation
As Maybrey Precision Castings is a live class one metal foundry, strict safety procedures had to be followed at all times, and we planned ahead to ensure there was no disruption to Maybrey Precision Castings’ working hours.
Efficient Solar Energy System
Throughout the four-week timeline, we installed a large rooftop Solar PV system comprising 260 395w Trina Solar Panels, 130 SolarEdge Optimisers, and 3 SolarEdge SE inverters.
Could your business benefit from solar energy?
The Result
The new rooftop Solar PV system means that Maybrey Precision Castings are now producing up to 50% of their energy demand throughout the year – massively reducing their reliance on the National Grid. They’ve also helped to future-proof their business and protect themselves against future energy price hikes.
