Conveyor Systems Limited embraces solar energy

Formed in 1997 Conveyor Systems Ltd (CSL) provides materials handling solutions in warehouses, factories, 3PL fulfilment centres and e-commerce distribution centres. They are a major systems integrator handling multi-million-pound projects and one of the UK’s leading solution suppliers.

CSL’s approach to developing customer solutions centres around efficiency and green practices; delivering cost savings and a reduction in CO2 emissions. This same mantra was carried across to the design of their own building in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, and energy efficiency and solar generation became a priority.

“The design team were able to maximize the roof space and get as many panels on as possible, which was a lot more than I was expecting and the installation teams were very professional, carrying out their jobs with health and safety as a clear priority.”

Geo Green Power was recommended to Mike Graham, Managing Director for CSL, by a friend who had a similar installation on agricultural buildings.

Mike explained how he found working with us: “I found the process from the design right through to the installation very professional and engaging. I felt whenever I had any questions I was able to get answers really quickly.

CSL’s modern building has energy efficient heating, ventilation and LED lighting to keep running costs low; but like many businesses day to day operations and the addition of EV chargers has increased energy usage. The investment in solar PV has given Mike peace of mind that energy costs are being kept to a minimum.

Mike added: “As a business owner it’s important for me to be able to see where we can invest money to save money. It’s also important to know that we are doing our bit for the environment and reducing our own carbon footprint.”

We’re delighted to have supported a local business with the investment in solar energy and look forward to working alongside them for many years to come, supporting them with any questions they may have and ensuring that the system remains working at its optimum.
