Tofts Farm

Powering Tofts Farm with Renewable Energy

Genfit has delivered a 148.20 kWp rooftop solar PV system at Tofts Farm, Hartlepool, on behalf of Rothwell Plumbing Services Group Ltd, helping the site generate clean, renewable electricity while reducing long-term energy costs and carbon emissions. The system has an installed DC capacity of 148.20 kWp and delivers up to 99.90 kW of AC power, providing a significant source of on-site renewable energy for the farm’s operations.

Based on detailed performance modelling, the system is expected to generate approximately 122.28 MWh of usable solar electricity each year, reducing reliance on grid-supplied power and improving the site’s energy resilience. This renewable generation will offset around 23.65 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to planting 1,086 trees every year.

The installation has been optimised with a 134% DC/AC oversizing ratio to maximise energy generation throughout the year, achieving a projected performance ratio of 90% and an annual specific production of 825 kWh per kWp installed. By transforming unused roof space into a renewable energy asset, the project supports Tofts Farm’s commitment to sustainability while delivering long-term environmental and financial benefits.
