For the owner of Seagate Leisure Centre, the decision to install a renewable energy source was an easy one to make, "due to the nature of the business, we are forced to use a lot of lighting on the premises and were aware this was becoming more and more expensive with continually rising energy prices" says owner Stewart.
After completing extensive research and seeking free and impartial guidance from Zero Waste Scotland, the decision was made to implement a solar PV system.
This allowed the organisation to benefit from the UK Government's Feed-in Tariff scheme, and drastically reduce company energy bills.
The system has been in place and working well since April 2011.
