Parfetts installs solar system at its Birmingham depot

Parfetts has taken another step toward its sustainability goals with the installation of a 400kWp rooftop solar PV system at its Birmingham depot.

Completed in partnership with Solarcrown Commercial (SCC), this development brings Parfetts’ total installed solar capacity to over 1.6MW across its depots. Its target is to instal 2MW of solar energy across its network.

By integrating solar PV systems, Parfetts has already generated 1.9MWp of renewable energy, reducing 350 tonnes of carbon emissions – equivalent to planting 15,000 trees or powering 60 electric vehicles.

The Birmingham depot installation is a crucial part of this larger initiative, with SCC having already completed successful projects at Aintree, Anfield, Sheffield, and Stockport, and further installations planned for Somercotes and Middlesbrough.

“This partnership between Solarcrown Commercial and Parfetts highlights the potential for sustainability in the wholesale and retail sectors. By investing in renewable energy solutions, Parfetts is demonstrating that reducing environmental impact and improving cost efficiency can go hand in hand,” said a Solarcrown Commercial spokesperson.
