Cllr Jessica Fleming, Mid Suffolk District Council’s cabinet member for environment, said: “Completing our solar carports marks a significant milestone in a multi-million-pound investment to reduce the carbon footprint at our leisure centres. We hope that by being among the first rural UK councils to trial this technology in our districts, we will encourage others to follow suit. And, if it’s successful, we’ll look at how we might be able to roll out this technology at more of our sites, making best use of space, over coming years. By also introducing 8 new EV charging points, the carports will also help more residents to transition to electric vehicles – helping to reduce pollution and ensuring Mid Suffolk’s greener future as a place people are proud to call home.”  

“Our new market stalls that were designed and built by Polysolar created a modern innovative solution for our outdoor market redevelopment for West Bromwich High street.  We were delighted that the combination of modern design with Polysolar’s innovative glass solar panels attracted attention nationally and resulted in the project being shortlisted for national awards by the Royal Town Planning Institute and The Energy Awards.  We have commissioned Polysolar to help us redevelop another of our outdoor markets in Wednesbury.”

Asset Manager, Tewkesbury Borough Council: “Tewkesbury Borough Council commissioned Polysolar for the installation of a 229kWh solar car park canopy at the rear of its Public Service Centre to provide electricity to the council offices and adjacent Leisure Centre as part of its Carbon Neutral objectives, the project was particularly challenging given funding was secured on achieving completion within 3 months of awarding the contract. Communication and decision making was paramount in delivering this project in the short timetable made easy by the regular communications and rapid solutions proposals by Polysolar to any unforeseen issue that arose during the project. The project was professionally delivered on time and within budget.”

Technical Project Manager: "PolySolar completed the PV Car Parking Canopy Installation at Newarke Street Carpark for Leicester City Council between March and June 2023.  This was a pioneer project for one of the Councils roof top parking spaces.  

PolySolar was certainly the best candidate who delivered this project. It was completed on time, on budget and to an exceptional standard – successful achievement of the three cornerstones of project management and delivery. 

On behalf of Leicester City Council, it has been a pleasure working with such a professional organisation at all levels including the planning, design and delivery teams." 

Cllr Mina Parmar, Cabinet Member for Housing at Harrow Council: “We are always open to new ideas that will help us in our plans for a carbon-neutral Harrow by 2030. This case study is the first of its kind, and we are proud to be part of this landmark project, which looks at making homes warmer, and as energy-efficient in a way never done before with social housing.”
