Project Overview
Halifax-based dye manufacturer Azo, a leader in its field, has taken a significant step toward energy independence and sustainability with the installation of a 54kW solar power system. Working in partnership with Novus Energy, Azo is now producing more than double the amount of electricity required for its on-site operations. The project marks a key milestone in Azo’s journey towards achieving net zero emissions while benefiting from long-term financial gains.
The Installation
- System Size: 54kW
- Number of Panels: 135
- Inverter & Optimisers: SolarEdge System with Optimisers
- Annual Energy Generation: 48,000 kWh
- Location: Azo Ltd, Halifax – West Yorkshire
Technology Highlights
The solar power system at Azo features state-of-the-art SolarEdge Optimisers, which enhance the performance of each individual panel, ensuring maximum efficiency and energy output. This technology allows Azo to not only meet its energy needs but also produce surplus electricity, contributing clean energy back to the grid and opening up a new revenue stream.
Results & Benefits
- Annual Energy Generation: The system will generate an estimated 48,000 kWh annually, equivalent to the electricity used by 14 homes.
- Carbon Savings: This project will significantly reduce Azo’s carbon emissions, supporting its goal to reach net zero.
- Financial Benefits: The surplus energy produced by the solar system is sold back to the grid, generating an additional income stream for Azo. This financial benefit will help fund future energy-saving technologies, further reducing their operational costs.
Customer Experience
Azo’s Managing Director, Julian Plant, spoke highly of the collaboration:
“Making such a large investment was daunting, but Dan and the team at Novus Energy made the process easy. They were always on hand to guide us, which is why we chose Novus as our solar contractor.”
Novus Energy’s Director, Dan Cawdron, commented on the success of the project:
“This installation is a great example of how businesses can turn sustainability into a financial asset. Azo is not only reducing their environmental impact but also securing a return on investment by selling excess energy back to the grid.”
Sustainability Impact
This solar installation highlights Azo’s commitment to sustainability and energy independence. By generating its own electricity, Azo is reducing its reliance on the grid, lowering its operational costs, and contributing clean energy back to the community. This project is a model for how businesses can balance environmental responsibility with financial growth.
Summary
The solar PV installation at Azo demonstrates the power of renewable energy for commercial clients. With a 54kW solar system producing 48,000 kWh annually, Azo is offsetting a large portion of its carbon emissions and reducing energy bills, all while generating revenue through surplus electricity.
The partnership between Novus Energy and Azo showcases how businesses can play a leading role in the transition to net zero, proving that going green can be both an environmental and financial asset.
