In a momentous leap towards environmental responsibility, Wild Thang HQ is now basking in the power of the sun! We're excited to announce during global goals week the successful installation of solar panels at Wild Thang’s HQ, marking a remarkable achievement in our journey towards sustainability.

The glint of solar panels on our roof isn't just a dazzling sight it's a testament to our unwavering commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. With our sights set on achieving Net Zero by 2030, we're actively making decisions that support this goal. The addition of 290 latest generation 430W solar panels is a tangible demonstration of this dedication, symbolising our efforts to embrace cleaner energy sources. We are producing more clean energy than we need at Wild Thang thanks to the solar panels, an estimated 162% energy, with the excess energy of approximately 70% exported to the grid, 30% of the energy generated will cover around 80% of our total energy use!

Inital Stages of Solar Installation

As sunlight streams onto our panels, we're generating clean renewable energy that powers our operations. This not only propels our productivity but also propels us forward on our sustainability journey. By relying on the sun's energy, we're reducing our dependence on traditional energy sources and contributing to an eco-friendlier world. It is estimated that the annual solar generation from the panels at Wild Thang HQ will be 125Kwh, which we believe is one of the largest solar installs in our local area.

Our Eight Stage Sustainability Pledge

At the start of 2023, we unveiled our long term eight-point sustainability pledge which would provide us with targets to hit over the coming years to make Wild Thang a genuinely committed sustainable business. Part of that pledge included the installation of the solar panels onto the roof of Wild Thang HQ which is another huge step to our overall goals and another important sustainability milestone. Over the system's lifetime, it is estimated that we will have avoided equivalent emissions of 604.491 Km driven, 433 long haul flights, 3,886 trees planted per year and it is estimated that 21 tons of CO2 will be avoided.

We can’t thank our fantastic solar installation partner TB Electrics and their team especially Terry, Owen and Jack who have been outstanding from the initial consultation and planning of the project through to full completion.

Delivery of Our Solar Panels 

The process of bringing these solar panels to life was a meticulous one, expertly planned, procured and installed over a 3-week period with very little disruption to our day-to-day business activities. Each panel was strategically positioned to harness maximum sunlight and connected with precision to ensure optimum efficiency. This process wasn't just about installing panels, it was about transforming our physical space into a hub of renewable energy.  From the planning stage and complexities of unloading crane work to get it to the roof and installation, this is testament to an excellent client and contractor relationship, technical knowhow at Wild Thang helped immensely and we can’t thank the installation team for making this possible, we would highly recommend them to anyone as a solar installation partn.

We want to also thank Angela Moretta, NatWest Relationship Director and their team for arranging the finance for the project and for the continued support they are providing Wild Thang in it’s journey towards Net-Zero. It’s also great to see their target to provide £100 billion of climate and sustainable funding and financing between 1 July 2021 and the end of 2025 to enable their customers to implement green solutions and help businesses become more energy efficient, sustainable, and resilient.

Beyond the environmental impact, our solar panel installation is hopefully a positive beacon of sustainability leadership that will inspire others as we genuinely recognise that as a business we have a responsibility to our team, community and wider world in helping protect our planet.
