Case Study: Brain Widdop Pallets Ltd, Brighouse

System Size: 21.32kW
Estimated Annual Generation: 18,725 kWh
Lifetime Electricity Bill Savings: £45,572

The Business

Brian Widdop Pallets Ltd is a trusted name in the pallet industry, known for delivering exactly what customers need, when and how they need it. From new and recycled pallets to repairs, logistics, and full pallet management, this Brighouse-based team prides itself on reliability, quality, and forward-thinking operations.

So when they looked to reduce operational costs, improve energy efficiency, and reinforce their commitment to sustainability, solar was the clear next step.

⚡ The System

To meet the energy demands of a busy industrial site, we designed and installed a high-performance 21.32kW solar PV system, tailored for long-term reliability and maximum output.

🛠 System Specs:

  • 52 x 410W JAM54S31-410/GR Panels
  • 21.32kW of Solar Power
  • SolaX X3-PRO-20K-G2 Inverter (20kW Capacity)
  • 12-Year Product Warranty
  • 25-Year Linear Performance Warranty
  • EmLite 3-phase EMP1-AZ Generation Meter

Expected Annual Output: 18,725 kWh

💸 The Results

This system is projected to save Brian Widdop Pallets Ltd £45,572 in electricity costs over its lifetime, dramatically reducing overheads while allowing the business to reinvest savings into growth and operations.

With the price of commercial energy continuing to climb, locking in stable, self-generated power gives the company a strong competitive edge.

🌍 Environmental Benefits

Choosing solar doesn’t just save money, it’s a commitment to a cleaner, more responsible way of doing business.

Every Year:

  • ✅ 5 tons of CO₂ avoided
  • ✅ 240% reduction in CO₂, SOₓ, & NOₓ emissions (compared to grid electricity)

Over the System’s Lifetime, That’s Equivalent To:

  • ✈️ 100 long-haul flights avoided
  • 🚗 139,762 kilometres not driven by a petrol car

All while the system silently generates clean energy, with zero emissions and zero disruption to day-to-day operations.
