Client Overview
Nimbus Solar was selected to deliver an 88.2kW commercial solar PV installation for Toolbank’s distribution facility in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire.
Toolbank, a leading tool and hardware distributor and part of the Dormole Group, first partnered with Nimbus Solar following the successful completion of a commercial solar installation at one of their facilities in Hatfield. Having experienced the benefits of on-site renewable energy generation and Nimbus Solar’s professional project delivery, the business approached our team to design and install a second large-scale solar PV system for its Cleckheaton distribution centre.
The project was designed to reduce operational energy costs, improve sustainability performance and increase energy independence, while ensuring minimal disruption to the site’s day-to-day operations.
