Green Nation and our installation partner Watt Energy Saver have successfully installed a 975 kWp rooftop solar system at Aston Martin F1 Team’s new headquarters at Silverstone. Aston Martin F1 has since gone on to be the first F1 team to achieve the globally recognised ISO 50001 certification in effective energy management and energy performance. This project is a major step forward for both companies’ mission to help businesses across the country reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and embrace more sustainable practices.

The solar installation forms a part of Aston Martin F1 Team’s major £200M development, which covers construction of the main building of the headquarters, new wind tunnel and employee experience and event space.

The solar panels will provide clean, renewable energy to power the new headquarters, saving on energy costs, around £250,000 in its first year, and cutting its carbon emissions by 412 tCO2 per annum.

The PPA model covers all capital and operational costs for the solar system, allowing Aston Martin F1 Team to focus its funds on its core project and buy power at a steep discount from the grid price. Green Nation will also reduce the operational complexity, with ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the system over the contract lifetime.

The installation process was completed on time and on budget, thanks to the combined efforts of Green Nation and Watt Energy Saver’s experienced team of engineers and technicians. The companies’ commitment to quality was evident throughout the project, and the end result is a state-of-the-art solar energy system to complement a state-of-the-art F1 facility.
