The installation was completed in four weeks with no disruption to company operations.<\/p>\n<p>Metek\u2019s Managing Director Oliver Rogan said: \u201cMoving to an alternative energy source was an easy decision for us here at Metek. Not only are we committed to \u2018doing\u2019 rather than \u2018talking\u2019 when it comes to our sustainability goals, we want to create a better infrastructure for the future throughout all our operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLight steel frame construction is intrinsically more sustainable than other methods and so it is critical that this is reflected across the board for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur lightweight Metek system already allows for hugely reduced foundation loads and our production method, which involves rolling components to lengths, means we produce minimal manufacturing waste.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith net zero at the forefront of construction right now, we are proud to be playing our part actively by embracing renewable energy technologies and continuing our journey from good to great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- News - Bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8320848692\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/2023\/05\/10\/metek-turns-to-solar-power-at-manufacturing-plant\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move, which is part of the company\u2019s wide-ranging carbon reduction strategy, will see the new solar panels deliver up &#8230; <a title=\"Metek turns to solar power at manufacturing plant\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/metek-turns-to-solar-power-at-manufacturing-plant\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Metek turns to solar power at manufacturing plant\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1089],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-construction-enquirer","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16830\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
