The rays are beating down on Edinburgh’s Mortonhall Klondyke Garden Centre, following the opening of a Solar Hub within the grounds.
Installed by the UK’s leading residential solar energy specialists, The Big Green Company, the Solar Hub is equipped with and fully powered by the latest solar panel technology.
Staff at The Big Green Company’s Solar Hub offer hands-on information to garden centre visitors about the benefits of installing solar panels on their homes – as well as selling full solar panel installation packages. The Big Green Company is the brainchild of entrepreneur, Wayne Morris, who set the company up back in 2007.
Morris said:- “We are delighted to have one of our Solar Hubs installed in Mortonhall’s Klondyke Garden Centre.
“Solar energy is really taking off and with the introduction of the Government’s feed-in-tariff, customers are able to receive a tax free income from merely generating energy by having solar panels on their roof.”
Gary Hynd, The Big Green Company’s regional director for Scotland, said:-“We are really excited about our opening in Mortonhall and we have had a great response. The hub gives customers the opportunity to see a working example of how the energy is generated and we have on-site technicians with specialist knowledge to answer any questions.”
The Big Green Company’s Solar Hub at Mortonhall Klondyke Garden Centre features continual digital read-outs of the amount of energy being generated from the building’s panels, which then powers the business office within.
The Big Green Company’s Solar Hub in Edinburgh is the third site for the company, with its two other hubs based in Wilmslow (Cheshire) and Carlisle.
