Client
Clarks Village is an outlet shopping village in Street, Somerset, England. It was established in 1993 on the site of old C&J Clark factory buildings.
With more than four million annual visitors the system is a clear demonstration of the retail centre’s environmental commitment.
Task
As with many commercial solar installations the Clarks Village system needs to perform in terms of generation and also from a visual and environmental perspective.
By specifying Innotech solar modules, Solarsense were able to provide a system that met all of the client’s needs. With energy bill savings and FiT income combined, the first year value of the system to the business is more that £15,000. With RPI index linked income over 20 years the system is predicted to give a 19% ROI and payback in under six years.
