Aztek Logistics has equipped the roof of its warehouse in Letchworth with 482sq m of solar panels, stretching the entire length of the 25,000sq ft facility.
The solar panels will not only help power the warehouse but also feed energy back into the grid for use by local homes and businesses.
The equipment, which allows the warehouse to be carbon-neutral, is predicted to generate 93,008kWh of energy per annum.
Almost two thirds of the energy generated will be consumed on-site and the installation also allows the warehouse to operate off-grid on occasion.
The electricity output is managed and tracked remotely, telling the user how much energy is being generated and being put back into the grid.
