An energy-hungry manufacturer has completed a huge £0.5m solar array across its roofs - which on a good day can power the whole operation and more.
During favourable weather, the Denny Bros array at its Bury St Edmunds headquarters in Kempson Way will produce enough electricity to feed into the grid as well.
The employee-owned print label maker is celebrating completion of the fourth and final phase its solar panel investment after eight years.
The final scheme cost £200k and there are now more than 1,800 panels on the roof.
Managing director Graham Denny said: "We have come a long way since we first installed a small solar panels ‘test’ system in 2014.
"Since then, we have maintained our commitment to the environment and this latest investment is our fourth and final phase as our roof is now completely full."
Denny Bros Group has scooped a number of environmental accolades - including Suffolk Carbon Charter Gold status earlier in 2022.
"Despite the fact that we have some very energy hungry machinery on site, our investment means that, in favourable weather, we are now able to generate sufficient electricity to not only power our entire plant but also generate a surplus to feed back into the grid," said Mr Denny.
"We were committed to the investment even before the recent astronomical rises in energy costs.
"We were always confident it would be a good investment, but it looks even better now."
