An acre of company’s operating facility has been provided for solar services knowing that it will pay for itself in future in both energy savings and environmental benefits”.
Mark Clifton, director, Clean Energy Direct, said, “This project with Oxford Recycling helps them fulfil their vision and ours of supporting projects with environmental benefits like energy offset and constructive land use. Proven components are used, assembled to a site-specific engineering so that system can efficiently perform in future.”
