The Challenge

Running a busy working farm alongside a collection of luxury lodges creates significant energy demands throughout the year. As energy prices continued to rise, increasing electricity costs placed growing pressure on the long-term sustainability of the business.

“As a family-run business with strong farming roots, we’ve always been very conscious of our environmental impact. Like many others, we’ve seen energy costs rise."

-Claire Picken, Manager

Our Solution

The bespoke ground-mount 37.38kWp installation was designed to power both the working farm and luxury lodges efficiently. The system integrates seamlessly within the rural setting, maintaining the site’s visual appeal while enabled long-term carbon reduction and operational savings to support sustainable growth

"We had a great experience working with Forster Group. They were professional, informative and flexible, which was essential for balancing a major installation with the day-to-day running of a working farm and luxury retreat."
