The brief

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 deliver financial savings and align with its corporate values of sustainability and innovation, gaining control over energy expenditure and greater grid independence.

MarVal Power designed and delivered a bespoke solar PV solution tailored to the unique energy profile of a busy manufacturing plant. A comprehensive site analysis produced 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, a reliable, powerful source of clean energy for the plant's operations.

The installation has revolutionised the company's energy consumption and significantly reduced its environmental impact. By investing in solar energy, McGuigan Furniture has secured substantial long-term cost savings and reinforced its brand as a forward-thinking industry leader, with 75% of its daytime load now running off the roof.
