Jaguar Land Rover has completed the installation of 21,000 Solar PV panels at its new Engine Manufacturing Centre in Staffordshire, making it the UK’s largest rooftop Solar PV array. 

The 5.8MW array is estimated to generate more than 30% of the Engine Manufacturing Centre’s energy requirements and reduce the facility’s CO2 footprint by more than 2,400 tonnes per year. 

According to the Jaguar Land Rover, the Solar PV array has helped the new facility achieve BREEAM’s ‘Excellent’ rating for the design stage of the assessment for sustainable buildings, with plans in place to increase the array to more than 6.3MW by the end of 2014. 

The Centre is the first new plant that Jaguar Land Rover has built from the ground up at an investment of more than £500m. It will also create almost 1400 new jobs by the time the plant reaches full capacity.
