Addressing climate change
Sydenhams Builders Merchants engaged Drakes Renewables to help reduce energy bills and achieve their sustainability goals. So far, we have installed solar PV systems at their three highest electricity-consuming sites. The systems were carefully sized to strike the right balance between consumption and export, taking into account the business’s weekend closure. This ensures maximum energy efficiency, reducing costs and supporting Sydenhams’ overall sustainability objectives across all locations.
