Building a Sustainable Partnership with Boys & Boden

Our relationship with Boys & Boden goes beyond the Pear Stairs site in Newtown; we’ve had the privilege of working with them previously on a solar PV installation at their Chester site. This earlier collaboration laid the groundwork for a strong partnership built on trust, shared values, and a commitment to sustainability. By delivering a high-quality, tailored solar solution for their Chester site, we helped Boys & Boden take their first steps towards renewable energy, demonstrating the benefits of reduced energy costs and lower carbon emissions. This successful project set the stage for their continued investment in solar power, culminating in the large-scale system at their Pear Stairs site.

Quote From Our Director

“We are proud to have successfully installed our second solar PV array for Low Carbon Hub at the Norbar Torque Tools site in Banbury. This project presented a unique challenge due to the National Grid’s requirement for a G100 export limitation scheme, particularly with the incorporation of three phases of PV systems dated between 2015 – 2024. Our team was able to overcome these complexities, demonstrating our expertise and commitment to delivering high-quality, renewable energy solutions. As a certified B Corp, partnering with community investors and sustainably focused organisations such as Norbar is high on our agenda, we look forward to delivering further solar PV schemes with Low Carbon Hub in future.”
