Farnworth Leisure Centre
Over a span of two weeks, Airis designed and installed an 84 kWp Solar PV array and a Mansafe Protection system, which ensures safe and easy future maintenance.
Despite the challenge of varying roof heights and existing rooftop equipment, the installation was seamlessly completed, reducing 16.3 tonnes of CO₂e annually and providing an estimated 5.3-year payback period.
The project not only improved the centre’s sustainability but also ensured long-term operational efficiency.
Solar Panel Capacity (kW): 84 Kwp
System Payback: 5.4 years
Grid Independence: 24%
Carbon Footprint Reduction: 16.3 tonnes per year
Airis Energy were engaged throughout and sent regular, detailed updates on progress of works. All paperwork was well documented and there was a strong emphasis on health and safety. Aftercare has been excellent, and we have engaged further with Airis Energy to look after our PV panel annual maintenance at three of our leisure sites.
