MSE Hiller switched on an additional 75 kW of Photovoltaic panels at its Markham Vale offices and workshops. It has taken control of it’s energy expenditure by generating it’s own electrical power on site.

The company installed 300 x 250W (500 M sq) of high efficiency PV panels over a 2 week period in December 2014. The panels were installed by local Chesterfield company Custom Solar. This will make MSE Hiller totally self-sufficient in electricity.

With ISO 14001 being a prerequisite for many of MSE Hiller’s customers, and in a period where reporting of carbon footprints and reducing emissions has become such an important aspect when looking to build partnerships with customers, the installation of a renewable energy system like this is a major step forward for the company.

Electricity prices historically have risen at approx. 10% per annum so generating our own electricity like this can protect us against future price rises and ensure that our business is not exposed to uncontrollable growing overheads.
