High-end automotive brand Bentley Motors has installed the UK’s largest solar car port at its factory headquarters in Crewe. The company said this has reinforced its commitment to sustainable energy.

The installation comprises 10,000 solar panels, which have a capacity of 2.7 megawatts, cover 1,378 car parking spaces and an area of 16,426 square-metres. 

This latest project takes Bentley’s total on-site solar panel energy capacity to 7.7 megawatts. This includes the 2013 roof-top installation of 20,815 panels. The total number of solar panels at the site in Crewe is now 30,815.
