Hurst Grange Farm House is a characterful equestrian facility located in the rural setting of Hurst, near Reading. The site features traditional farm structures and outbuildings that provide ample roof space for renewable energy generation, supporting the high energy demands of a working equestrian estate.

Benefits

  • Energy saving: The 18.4 kWp solar array, coupled with a 6 kWh battery storage system, allows the facility to maximize self-consumption. By generating 17,309 kWh annually, the project significantly reduces the farm's reliance on the grid and provides a buffer against fluctuating energy costs.
  • Sustainability impact: This installation delivers a substantial environmental benefit, offsetting 4.0 tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year. The integration of battery storage ensures that clean energy is available even during low-generation periods, further lowering the site's carbon footprint.
  • Project management: The project was characterized by an exceptionally rapid deployment, with scaffolding erected just days after client confirmation. This efficient turnaround ensured minimal disruption to the daily operations of the equestrian center.
