Southend Airport Business Park

Project Overview

A 500kWp solar PV system has been successfully installed at the new £150 million business park in Southend. Expected to generate 467,000 kWh of clean energy annually, the system will contribute to a BREEAM Very Good rating for the park and reduce CO₂ emissions by 98 tonnes per year. This sustainable initiative supports Southend’s growth by providing high-quality business space and infrastructure.

Photon Energy is a successful company head-quartered in Reading, England, specialising in the design, supply, installation and maintenance of solar PV systems and battery storage systems.

The company was established in 2006 by Lucy Aitchison, Jonathan Bates, Michael Holmes and Rolf Oldach, all specialists in renewable energy, who wanted to get more hands-on with installing solar PV systems for businesses, residential properties, public sector and agricultural buildings.
