Norbar Tools get tooled up with Solar PV

Challenge

To scope, survey, design, supply and install solar panels for the Norbar Tools factory in Banbury, Oxfordshire. The project involved a very tight timescale of only five weeks from contract signature to full commission in order to meet the Feed-in Tariff deadline. This was also a community-funded project by the Low Carbon Hub with no upfront costs to Norbar Tools.

Outcome

A 250 kWp system was intstalled within just five weeks.  Adriano Figueiredo, Operations Director, Low Carbon Hub said “Joju have been a long‐term partner of the Low Carbon Hub and other affiliated community energy groups in Oxford since 2010 and have consistently delivered on their commitments, meeting budget, quality and overall satisfaction.”

“On many occasions, they have been key to identifying creative solutions for projects leading to lower costs or shorter installation time. They have always been reasonable in contract negotiations and variations to initial specifications and to-date we haven’t had a single incident that would make us question their professionalism, integrity or fairness in dealing with us.”
