A Greener Future Teed Up at Childwall Golf Club

Key Benefits for Childwall Golf Club

Energy Cost Savings – The 39.15 kWp system significantly reduces reliance on grid electricity, cutting operational costs and protecting the club from future energy price increases.

High Performance & Reliability – Equipped with SolarEdge technology and 44 S1000 optimisers, each panel performs independently for optimal generation and real-time monitoring — ensuring consistent output and safety.

Sustainability Commitment – The installation offsets over 6.45 tonnes of CO₂ every year, equivalent to planting around 280 trees, helping the club meet its environmental and sustainability goals.

Future-Proof Investment – Designed with long-term scalability and advanced monitoring through the SolarEdge platform, the system ensures maximum efficiency for years to come.

Enhanced Club Reputation – By investing in renewable energy, Childwall Golf Club sets a positive example within the local community and golfing sector, showcasing leadership in sustainability.

Operational Resilience – Generating clean energy on-site provides greater energy independence, reducing the impact of grid fluctuations and improving long-term energy stability.

Powering Reel Cinema with Renewable Energy

Genfit has delivered a 125 kWp rooftop solar PV system at Reel Cinema, designed to generate clean, renewable electricity while reducing the site’s reliance on grid power. The installation comprises 236 solar panels, 120 SolarEdge optimisers, and 1 inverter, delivering up to 90 kW of AC power to support the cinema’s daytime energy demand. Based on detailed performance modelling, the system is expected to generate approximately 105 MWh of renewable electricity every year, helping to lower operational energy costs and improve long-term sustainability. The installation will also save around 20 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, the equivalent of planting approximately 950 trees each year. By transforming unused roof space into a productive energy asset, Reel Cinema is taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future while demonstrating how entertainment venues can benefit from on-site renewable energy generation.

Empowering Education with Solar at Aston Lodge School, Sheffield

Last year, Genfit completed a solar PV installation at Aston Lodge School in Sheffield, as part of an ongoing collaboration with Wickersley Partnership Trust to deliver renewable energy solutions across multiple schools in the region.

The system features advanced SolarEdge technology, combining smart inverter control and real-time monitoring to maximise energy generation and performance. With a total installed DC power of 42.4 kWp, the system achieves a maximum AC output of 30 kW and produces approximately 35.59 MWh of clean energy each year. This saves around 6.88 tonnes of CO₂ annually — the equivalent of planting 316 trees every year.

The installation has helped Aston Lodge School reduce its energy costs and carbon footprint, freeing up valuable funds that can be reinvested into education and school facilities, while also contributing to the Trust’s wider sustainability objectives.

As part of the project, Genfit’s Project Manager visited the school to deliver an interactive talk, showing pupils how solar energy works and how their new system helps power classrooms with clean, renewable electricity.

Through its partnership with Wickersley Partnership Trust, Genfit continues to support schools across Sheffield and Rotherham in their transition to a greener future — making energy simple, sustainable, and educational.

Key Benefits for Aston Lodge School
