Installation of Solar Systems on Four Warehouse Roofs for Huboo Technologies Ltd

Company Background

Huboo Fulfilment is a rapidly growing logistics and e-commerce fulfilment company based in the UK. Founded in 2017 by a team of entrepreneurs, Huboo aims to simplify the fulfilment process for online retailers, particularly small and medium-sized businesses.

With a commitment to customer service and operational excellence, Huboo has positioned itself as a key player in the fulfilment industry, supporting businesses in scaling their operations and enhancing their customer experience.

Project Approach

To address Huboo’s needs, a comprehensive solar energy plan was developed. The approach began with a detailed energy audit of Huboo’s fulfillment centres to understand their current and projected energy usage. Based on this analysis, bespoke solar systems were designed for each of the four warehouse roofs, capable of generating a significant portion of Huboo’s energy needs.

The installation was planned in phases to avoid any downtime. High-efficiency photovoltaic panels were selected for their ability to maximise energy production even in Bristol’s variable weather conditions. The installation team coordinated closely with Huboo’s operations managers to ensure that the installation process was seamless, with work scheduled during off-peak hours to minimise any potential disruption.

In addition to the solar panels, the project included the integration of a smart energy management system. This system allows Huboo to monitor energy production in real time, optimising energy use and ensuring that the company maximises its return on investment.

NSI Energy Solution

The installation was completed on time and within budget, and significantly reduced Huboo’s reliance on grid electricity. As a result, the company achieved a substantial decrease in energy costs and made a significant step towards its sustainability targets. The solar energy system now generates a considerable portion of the power needed for Huboo’s operations, leading to an immediate reduction in carbon emissions.

Furthermore, Huboo’s investment in renewable energy has enhanced its reputation as an environmentally responsible company, strengthening its brand among eco-conscious clients. The smart energy management system continues to provide valuable data, enabling Huboo to optimise its energy use and further reduce costs. Overall, the project has been a resounding success, positioning Huboo as a leader in sustainability within the e-commerce sector.
