Project Overview
In partnership with MarVal Power, McGuigan Furniture completed the installation of an 80.52 kWp rooftop solar PV system in 2024. The project involved the strategic placement of 192 high-efficiency solar panels on their manufacturing facility, designed to maximise energy generation and support the company’s operational needs.
Project Background
As a leader in the furniture manufacturing industry, McGuigan Furniture faced the dual pressures of rising energy costs and a growing imperative to reduce its carbon footprint. The company sought a solution that would not only deliver financial savings but also align with its corporate values of sustainability and innovation. The primary motivations were to gain control over energy expenditure, achieve greater grid independence, and tangibly demonstrate their commitment to a greener future.
Solution Delivered
MarVal Power designed and delivered a bespoke solar PV solution tailored to the unique energy profile of a busy manufacturing plant. Our team conducted a comprehensive site analysis to create a system that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure and meets the high energy demands of industrial machinery. The 192 Tier-1 panels were installed to optimise solar capture throughout the day, ensuring a reliable and powerful source of clean energy to power their operations.
