Environment
This is the view from our factory in Llandysul. Not surprisingly it gives us a sense of the value of the environment we operate in.
In late 2019 Gomer completed a major solar installation project covering 80% of the main roof area. We installed 668 275w panels which cover an active area of 1102m2. Under optimal conditions the system will generate 184kw, which will go a long way towards powering the plant in summer time. The anticipated annual yield is 166,000kw. The annual saving in carbon emissions is expected to be 81 tonnes. The system has a 25 year warranty and a life expectancy of 40-55 years… so quite a big deal really.
