Case Study: Toyota, Derbyshire
To support Toyota’s global goal of carbon neutrality and manage the rising energy demands of its growing electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, Geo Green Power installed a 120kWp solar PV system.
The installation has been a major success, delivering a 27% reduction in electricity usage and generating approximately 100,000kWh of clean energy annually.
By saving roughly 35 tonnes of CO₂ each year, the equivalent of removing seven petrol cars from the road, the project provides the dealership with long-term protection against energy price volatility while securing an estimated 2.5 million kWh of electricity at a fixed, low rate over the next 25 years.
Complete Renewable Energy for Business
As leading specialists in commercial solar installations for Ilkeston, we provide a holistic approach to energy that extends far beyond the rooftop.
Buffer your energy usage. Store the excess power generated by your panels during the day to power your operations through the night or during expensive peak-tariff periods – ideal for Ilkeston’s 24/7 manufacturing schedules.
Maximise your parking assets. Our solar carports provide weather protection for staff and fleet vehicles while generating clean electricity, perfect for Ilkeston businesses with large workforces but limited roof space.
Future-proof your fleet. We install smart, high-speed commercial EV charging points that integrate with your solar array, allowing your vehicles to run on “free” solar fuel.
Protect your investment. From drone thermal imaging to electrical string testing, our maintenance packages ensure your commercial solar setup remains at peak efficiency for decades.
