THE CHALLENGE

Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust is an independent charity dedicated to protecting the natural environment in Gloucestershire, England.

The Trust initially relied on utility companies providing renewable energy to power its sites. However, the team identified that the Head Office and Visitor Centre at Robinswood Hill Country Park accounted for their highest energy costs. To address this, they explored options to reduce expenses and allocate more funding toward conservation efforts. Acting on a strong recommendation from the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, they approached SolarSense for a solution.

THE RESULT

“We work hard to reconnect people with nature, and to show them ways they can help make a difference. Now we can point to our Solar PV as an example of how we run our business sustainably, saving precious funds for our work in the county. The actual installation was made wonderfully easy. The team guided me through the process and were sympathetic to our site and needs a a visitor centre. If I had to score them, it would definitely be ten out of ten.”
