Greenfields installed a 65kW solar PV system at Ennerdale Brewery, a local Cumbrian brewery in Rowrah, helping the business reduce its energy costs while generating on-site renewable electricity.
The system was designed to support the brewery’s transition to more sustainable energy use while improving its operational efficiency.
Understanding the Brewery’s Energy Requirements
Breweries are energy-intensive environments that require significant electricity for equipment, refrigeration, and production processes.
For this project, the customer wanted to reduce operational energy costs while also supporting a transition within the brewing process from LPG to electricity. Installing a large-scale solar PV system enabled the business to generate on-site renewable electricity to power its operations.
System Installed
The Greenfields team installed a 65kW commercial solar PV array across the brewery’s roof, designed to maximise energy generation and support the building’s electricity demand.
The system now provides:
- On-site renewable electricity generation
- Reduced energy costs for the business
- Support for the electrification of brewing processes
- Lower carbon emissions
Solar PV for Commercial Operations
Solar PV systems are increasingly popular for businesses with significant daytime energy use.
For facilities such as breweries, factories, and commercial premises, solar generation can help offset electricity consumption while improving long-term energy cost stability.
Greenfields designs commercial solar systems tailored to each facility’s energy demand, ensuring the system size and layout are optimised for performance and return on investment.
