Forrest has been selected to install solar panels across four community buildings, including three care homes in Bolton.
Bolton Council appointed Forrest to carry out the work.
The photovoltaic (PV) systems have been installed by the Bolton-based contractor at Winifred Kettle Community Care Centre in Westhoughton, Wilfred Geere House in Farnworth, Laburnum Lodge Care Home and Leverhulme Sports Centre. The buildings were selected following an energy review of Bolton Council corporate properties by Forrest.
The panels aim to deliver nearly £200,000 in savings on energy spend over the next 20 years across the sites. By providing 2,150,000 KWh of energy generation, the systems will also cut CO2 emissions by 950,000 kg over the same period.
As part of the works Forrest will also monitor the panels for free in the first year, allowing Bolton Council to closely review consumption on a daily basis.
