Bentley motors to build the UK’s largest ever solar-powered car port
- 10,000 solar panels will generate 2.7MW of power
- System could cover 24 per cent of Bentley’s electrical #Energy requirements and reduce CO₂ by 3,300 tonnes per year
- Car port increases Bentley’s solar #Energy system to over 30,000 panels – enough #Energy to cover over 1,750 homes
(Crewe, 10 April 2018) Bentley Motors today announces that construction has started on the UK’s largest ever solar-powered #carport at Bentley’s factory headquarters in Crewe, UK.
The installation of 10,000 solar panels, which has a capacity of 2.7MW, will take approximately six months to complete. Once completed, the #carport - which covers Bentley’s colleague car park - will take Bentley’s #Energy system to 30,815 solar panels. This includes the 20,815 panel roof top installation completed in 2013.
Commenting on the installation, #peterbosch, Bentley’s Member of the Board for Manufacturing, said:
“We continue to focus on new initiatives that reinforce our commitment to the environment, whether this is introducing alternative powertrain technologies in future models, or our award-winning work to reduce the environmental impact of our factory.
