We are pleased to announce that Sustainable Energy Finance successfully supported the installation of a rooftop solar PV system at Foxfields Country Hotel in Clitheroe, with the client introduced by Green Shield Group as the installer.
Project Highlights:
- System size: 109.35 kWp (rooftop across two buildings)
- Energy self-consumption: ~95.5%
- Estimated ten-year savings: ~£219,426
- Estimated ROI: ~4.6 years
As a busy hotel and event venue hosting weddings and high-demand events, Foxfields originally consumed nearly 400,000 kWh per year. The rooftop PV system has significantly reduced grid dependency and secured long-term savings. The installation was carried out in two phases with a two-week gap to ensure no disruption to hotel operations.
Green Shield Group is a Lancashire-based renewable energy provider specialising in solar PV and carbon reduction strategies for UK businesses across multiple sectors, including hospitality, manufacturing, and education.
“We are delighted to be working with Foxfields Country Hotel. This project reflects our commitment to making sustainable energy accessible to businesses across the UK.” — Chris Ridehalgh, Green Shield Group
