Peak Converters announce investment in solar energy

Foam and fibre converter, Peak Converters, has announced that this month will see the start of its solar energy project, which will involve the installation of 500 solar panels on its factory roof.

The sizeable installation will generate sufficient energy to power their entire factory and will take 60 days from project inception to completion, with the installation of the panels anticipated to be completed within the next two weeks.

Solar energy is a clean, renewable source that produces zero emissions. Peak’s project is equivalent to avoiding 54 tons of CO2 output – comparable to planting 10,318 trees over the lifetime of the system.

Managing Director, Mike Crowshaw, commented: “We are really excited about this project which will result in 111% of our energy being generated from solar with surplus going back into the national grid, so that any excess electricity can be stored for later use.

“This investment demonstrates our dedication to reducing our environmental impact and brings us closer to achieving our long-term goal of becoming a net-zero converter. We are leading by example by ensuring a brighter, greener future.”
