Harvest Green Developments have done it again, completing yet another impressive project for TRP Polymer Solution’s factory in Hereford. The installation of a top-of-the-line solar PV system complete with expertly mounted solar panels, inverters, and wiring on the roof is a game-changer for the company.
TRP Polymer Solutions has established itself as a company that is dedicated to providing top-quality products and services across all areas of operation. The company’s ongoing commitment to quality has been recognized with numerous awards, including preferred supplier status from many customers within the aerospace, nuclear and chemical process industries.
This prestigious status is a testament to TRP Polymer Solutions’ unwavering commitment to delivering the very best to its customers.
Harvest Green Developments were awarded the contract to build the Solar PV system after a competitive tender process. Prior to the build phase we supported TRP by competing a structural survey and submitting a G99 application to National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) to allow the connection of this generation asset, in parallel to the NGED network.
