Solar Powered Pasties ☀️
You may have seen in the press recently that we have installed Solar Panels here at our factory in St Columb Major!

With the support of our friends at Ignition Credit in Truro, we are the proud new owners of 320 solar panels. Installed by Bristol based Solarsense, these are part of a 131.2kw system that will save over 50 tonnes of CO2 each year.
As a manufacturing business, we’re very aware of our energy consumption and carbon footprint, so for us, it was important we took steps to help protect our planet’s future. Installing our own green energy sources on the roof of our factory is one initiative that we’re undertaking to reduce our carbon footprint, in line with the business’ strategic plan. The system will provide at least 20% of the factory’s energy over the year, however on a sunny day last month, the solar panels were producing 98% of our power. Thanks to our solar panels, we can continue to commit to providing quality products to our customers, at the very best price, despite the crippling rise of energy costs.
So next time you're taking a big bite into one of our pasties, you'll also be taking a small step in protecting our planet's future 🌍
