Pioneering Sustainable Logistics: Farrall’s Group’s Solar Installation by Rawson Solar
Farrall’s Group, a third generation family business, is committed to innovation and sustainability. With a rich history of delivering exceptional logistics services, we prioritise efficiency, reliability, and environmental responsibility. Our recent solar installation at the Deeside head office, executed by Rawson Solar, exemplifies our dedication to sustainable logistics and reducing our carbon footprint.
A Powerful Solar Solution
We are pleased to share the installation of a 552kWp solar system at our Deeside office, featuring 1,346 x 410W tier 1 solar panels and 9 x 50kW three-phase inverters. This cutting-edge system maximises solar energy capture, significantly decreasing our dependence on non-renewable energy sources. By generating clean, renewable energy on-site, we are reducing our energy costs and contributing positively to the environment.
Aligning with Our Values and Sustainability Goals
At Farrall’s Group, our core values include a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence. The new solar system is a key part of our broader strategy to achieve our sustainability goals. We anticipate a substantial reduction in our annual carbon emissions through this project. By integrating renewable energy into our operations, we are taking a proactive stance against climate change and setting a new standard in sustainable logistics.
Future-Ready: Powering Our Electric Truck
Our sustainability initiatives extend beyond energy consumption. We have ordered a BEV to integrate into our fleet, which will be powered by the solar energy generated at our Deeside office. This forward-thinking move not only demonstrates our dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances our operational efficiency by utilising clean energy.
Collaboration with Rawson Solar
The successful installation of our extensive solar system is thanks to the expertise and dedication of Rawson Solar. They are specialists in renewable energy installation including solar panels and electric vehicle charging points. Matthew Farrall, Managing Director of Farrall’s Group said of the installation process “Rawson have done a fantastic job for us. From the point of signing the order they just took over and showed us what they would be doing and the system worked from day one”. Looking to the future he continues “We use a lot of electric forklift trucks in the warehouse which obviously require power to charge and we are looking at a second phase here at our headquarters of the same size as Rawson have installed.”
Leading the Way in Sustainable Logistics
As we embrace a sustainable future, the importance of renewable energy in logistics becomes increasingly clear. The solar installation at Farrall’s Group’s head office sets a benchmark for how logistics companies can innovate and adopt greener practices. By integrating solar power into our daily operations, we are reducing our carbon footprint, improving energy efficiency, and leading the way in sustainable logistics.
Looking Ahead
Farrall’s Group remains committed in exploring and implementing innovative solutions that contribute to sustainability. Our investment in solar energy is just the beginning. As technology advances and new opportunities arise, we will continue to pioneer efforts that drive us towards a greener, more sustainable future.
In summary, the 552kWp solar system installed by Rawson Solar at our Deeside head office represents a significant leap towards sustainable logistics. By harnessing the power of the sun, we are powering our present and future, ensuring that Farrall’s Group remains at the forefront of sustainability in the logistics industry.
