In July 2024, we designed, supply, and installed an efficient commercial solar solution that enables Whiteland Engineering to enjoy the benefits of significantly lower energy costs and a substantial reduction in their environmental footprint.
Established in 1956 by Walter Hanson Whiteland, Whiteland Engineering Limited has maintained its family legacy for over six decades, with the third generation now steering the company’s operations. With a strong foundation in designing and building precision machines, Whiteland Engineering has diversified its expertise to cater to a wide range of industries through its sub-contracting machining services, tool making, and specialised component manufacturing.
Key Facts
There have been two phases to this project with Whiteland Engineering, phased to allow roofing works to take place, which included roof repairs, skylights to be moved and a safety line to be installed. With a combined installation size of 109.95kW, this system should generate approximately 98MWh of electricity annually.
