Green Energy for a Greater Mission: Scripture Union’s Solar Investment
Scripture Union, a faith-based organisation, sought a renewable energy solution to align with their dual mission: financial stewardship and environmental responsibility. By implementing a tailored solar energy system, they achieved significant cost savings and reduced their carbon footprint, paving the way for a sustainable future.
The Issues Faced
As an organisation committed to both practical and ethical principles, Scripture Union faced the challenge of balancing rising energy costs with their environmental values. They wanted a solution that would provide long-term financial relief without compromising their mission to care for creation. Additionally, minimising disruption during installation was a priority, as scaffolding could impact their parking spaces and daily operations.
A Brighter Future with Solar Energy
Scripture Union installed a solar energy system designed to generate 35,000 kWh annually. The project was tailored to meet their specific needs, ensuring minimal disruption during installation.
Custom Schedule
The lead time from deposit to project completion was five weeks, with scaffolding constructed and removed within five working days to limit interference.
Energy Output
The system produces an average of 35,000 kWh annually.
COâ‚‚ Reduction
The solar energy system offsets approximately 7,000 kg of COâ‚‚ emissions per year.
