Case Study: Hydraflex, Rochester

Overview

Sunpower Services successfully designed, supplied, and installed a tailored solar panel system for Hydraflex in Rochester. As part of our commitment to providing cost-effective and sustainable energy solutions, we implemented a 48.6 kWp system using 120 high-efficiency 405W Canadian Solar panels. This project was completed under a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), ensuring Hydraflex benefited from clean energy without any upfront costs.

About Hydraflex

Hydraflex is a leading specialist in fluid power solutions, supplying high-quality hydraulic and pneumatic components to industries across the UK. Their commitment to innovation and efficiency drives them to seek sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions, making solar power an ideal choice for their business.

The Solar Solution

Recognising Hydraflex’s energy requirements, Sunpower Services designed a system that would generate significant electricity savings while reducing their environmental footprint. By installing 120 Canadian Solar panels, we created a 48.6 kWp system capable of efficiently meeting a substantial portion of their energy demands.

Financial Benefits

The CPPA model allowed Hydraflex to adopt solar energy with no initial investment. Instead, they only pay for the electricity they consume at a significantly reduced rate, at least 10% lower than standard commercial electricity prices. This ensures immediate savings on operational costs while providing long-term financial predictability in energy expenses.

Environmental Impact

Switching to solar energy enables Hydraflex to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. The installed system is expected to:

Generate clean, renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Cut CO2 emissions by approximately 20 tonnes annually.
Contribute to Hydraflex’s sustainability goals, enhancing their corporate responsibility efforts.

Sunpower Services is proud to support Hydraflex in their transition to a greener, more cost-effective energy solution. With our CPPA model, Hydraflex enjoys immediate financial benefits without any upfront costs, while actively reducing their environmental impact. This project highlights the value of solar power in reducing business expenses and promoting sustainability, reinforcing our commitment to delivering innovative energy solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.
