Noble Foods North Scarle
The Noble Group were looking to cut carbon and energy costs at their North Scarle site.
To meet increasing demand, Noble Green Energy designed and built this array to supplement existing PV. The designer considered the high flood water levels of the site and procured a bespoke mounting system to address this.
All energy produced by this 370kW system is consumed on site. Total site capacity now stands at 520kW. Site generation is expected to be in excess of 416,000 kWh per year, saving over 200 tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to around 74,000 HGV road-miles or planting over 9,400 trees.
A monitoring platform captures all generation and usage, highlighting areas for efficiencies to be achieved through operational shifts.
All energy generated is distributed to point of demand through the site’s 11KV network. Export controls were installed to industry standard ENA G100 ensuring compliance with National Grid’s connection agreement.
This array was commissioned in the winter of 2023, providing return on investment in under 4 years.

“We’re incredibly happy with this new Solar System which has been expertly installed on a site prone to flooding. All of the energy generated will be consumed at time of generation ensuring we’re receiving the maximum benefit as our Business takes further steps towards achieving our Net-Zero aims. The success of this install has solidified our plans to roll out solar throughout our other suitable locations.”
