The location, famously immortalised by The Beatles’ song “Strawberry Fields Forever,” is now a visitor centre and social enterprise, supporting local communities with education and job opportunities for vulnerable adults.
Our solar installers have now expanded Strawberry Field’s existing solar power system, adding a 38.72 kWp installation to the current array.
The project is another step in Strawberry Field’s journey toward a more sustainable and cost-effective operation.
The expansion involved the installation of 88 high-performance JA 440 W solar panels, mounted on a Van Der Valk system known for its durability and adaptability—especially valuable given the often wet and windy Liverpool climate. Our solar installers ensured that the installation met the highest quality standards, completing a health check on the existing array to guarantee the new solar panels would integrate seamlessly with the site’s current energy infrastructure.
With a Solis 30kWp inverter managing the energy flow, this system is designed for longevity and optimal performance, generating an estimated 37,615 kWh of electricity annually.
For Strawberry Field and other businesses considering solar installations, adopting solar energy translates to tangible cost savings. By increasing their solar capacity, Strawberry Field is further offsetting its energy expenses, allowing the organisation to reallocate those funds toward its core mission: providing educational and employment opportunities to vulnerable adults. In a time of rising energy costs, the predictable cost savings generated by solar energy offer businesses a more stable financial footing, enabling them to better budget and plan for future growth.
Strawberry Field’s new solar pv system will decrease their reliance on grid power, providing savings through self-generated electricity, which comes with reduced operational costs and a lower annual energy bill. These savings not only support the organisation’s financial health but also align with its mission of making a positive community impact.
The environmental benefits of Strawberry Field’s solar expansion are substantial. With an additional 37,615 kWh produced per year, the site will reduce its carbon emissions by approximately 17,673 kg annually. This significant reduction in carbon output demonstrates the role businesses can play in minimizing their environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency. Strawberry Field’s leadership in renewable energy adoption sets a powerful example for other community organisations and small businesses in Liverpool and beyond.
By incorporating renewable energy into their operations, Strawberry Field showcases how sustainable practices can positively impact the community by reducing pollution, conserving natural resources and contributing to the fight against climate change.
Solar power has become an increasingly viable and attractive option for businesses in the UK, especially those looking to lower operational costs and bolster their environmental credentials. For enterprises like Strawberry Field, the benefits of solar extend far beyond reducing carbon emissions:
