Renowned Firm Powerguard Is Known Across Europe
Renewable energy specialists Powerguard are continuing to lead the charge in the renewable energy stakes, which is now an increasingly important factor in a time of rising energy demand and skyrocketing costs.
The company specialises in the design and manufacture of state of the art power generation and management systems. To combat rising energy prices, the business develops solutions that offer cost-effective energy production, with products such as battery packs, solar panels, turbines and energy-efficient generators, all coming together in one system to create economical energy supplies.
Many Powerguard customers live off-grid, and either don’t have the means or the capital to be hooked up to the National Grid, and were generating power to their home using an older spec generator.
This was the case with one of Powerguard’s most recent customers Mark Freeman, who runs High House Farm in Cumbria. “We looked at connecting to the mains grid, but it was far too expensive with all the specifics we needed for such a large plot,” explains Mark.
Much of the surrounding land has been farmed for generations, and mains electricity is not widespread in much of the area, due to the expense and the terrain.
After discovering mains power was just too expensive, after being quoted upwards of £200,000, Mark sought alternative means to produce the power he needed.
Powerguard director Graham Chapman spoke to Mark and recommended an efficient diesel generator, battery bank and a solar panel system, the panels of which could be fitted to the stable block to make the most of the South/North facing sunlight.
Graham Chapman of Powerguard explains, “Mark specified that he had a blank canvas to work with in terms of infrastructure, and we recommended solar panels because of the large amount of space he had available to work with on the stable block, which also happened to be a fantastic spot for sun exposure for most of the day.”
“High House Farm now has an incredibly efficient Powerguard System 3 with 24 PV solar panels fitted to the stable block.”
