Protective Packaging Ltd, a global leader in corrosion prevention and climate-controlled packaging, has taken a significant step toward sustainability with the installation of a high-performance solar energy system. Known for their commitment to protecting valuable assets in storage and transit, the company has extended that mission to the planet itself—by reducing their environmental impact through renewable energy.
Project Mission
The goal was simple but ambitious: reduce operational emissions and energy costs without compromising efficiency. To achieve this, we implemented a 265 kW solar power system using 530 high-efficiency panels. This setup was designed to maximise output while seamlessly integrating into Protective Packaging’s existing operations.
The Challenge of Project
As a business focused on global distribution and manufacturing, Protective Packaging required a solution that could not only support high energy demands but also align with their sustainability goals. The challenge was to deliver long-term value—economically and environmentally—without disrupting daily operations.
Our Solution
We deployed a robust 265 kW system, strategically engineered to meet the unique requirements of their facility. The system was designed to ensure:
High year-round performance
Minimal maintenance requirements
Quick return on investment
With advanced monitoring tools and a tailored design, the system delivers reliable, clean energy at scale.
Results Achieved
System Size and Generation
The installation, comprising 530 solar panels and a total capacity of 265 kW, generates approximately 235,006 kWh of renewable energy annually.Annual Electricity Savings
Protective Packaging now benefits from a 40.50% reduction in electricity consumption, leading to significant operational savings and increased energy independence.CO₂ Reduction
This project prevents the emission of around 77,909 kg of CO₂ each year, reinforcing Protective Packaging’s commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
