Question: What do solar panels have in common with balers?

Answer: They both help businesses to save money on overheads.

How? Solar panels such as those installed at Laithwaites in Gloucester turn sunlight into free electricity. Cardboard balers turn waste into bales that can be sold in bulk for recycling. In fact, the power you generate from your panels can be used to power your electric baler.

🏆 Several wins for Mypower this week! 🏆

We have just completed a major commercial rooftop installation for Laithwaites at its UK Gloucestershire headquarters!

We’re also proud to share that we had the pleasure of being interviewed by the BBC for an upcoming story on why more UK businesses are investing in commercial solar in an era of energy price unpredictability.
