04 Apr 2014 Evaluate

Tata Motors’ subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has completed the installation of the UK’s largest rooftop solar panel array at its new state-of-the art engine manufacturing centre at i54 South Staffordshire. The new facility has been designed with sustainability embedded throughout and has recently been awarded BREEAM’s excellent rating for the design stage of the assessment for sustainable buildings.

More than 21,000 photovoltaic panels, with a capacity of 5.8 MW, have been fixed to the roof of the engine manufacturing centre, with plans to increase this to over 6.3MW by the end of the year. It is estimated that the system will generate more than 30 percent of the centre’s energy requirements. This is the equivalent to the energy needed to power more than 1,600 homes. The photovoltaic panels will reduce the plant’s CO2 footprint by over 2,400 tonnes per year.

Tata Motors is India's largest automobile company, is the leader in commercial vehicles in each segment, and among the top in passenger vehicles with winning products in the compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments. It is also the world's fourth largest truck and bus manufacturer.
