Igen partnered with Glencar to design and install a 290 kWp solar PV system at EVO Warrington 89, located on Omega Boulevard in Lingley Mere. The building was developed with a focus on sustainability, targeting BREEAM Excellent certification and Net Zero Carbon in use. The solar PV installation plays a key role in helping the facility achieve low running costs and a minimal carbon footprint, strengthening its position as one of the most energy-efficient logistics buildings in the region.
The Challenge
Glencar’s brief was to deliver a state-of-the-art logistics facility that meets the highest environmental standards while maintaining operational efficiency. The solar system needed to integrate seamlessly with the building’s design and construction programme, maximising renewable energy generation without compromising structural or aesthetic requirements. The installation also had to support the site’s ambition to achieve an A+ energy performance rating, contributing directly to the development’s net-zero carbon credentials.
The Solution
Igen’s in-house engineering team designed and installed a 290 kWp system, comprising 701 solar panels, tailored to optimise performance based on the roof layout and building orientation. The system is expected to generate around 272,000 kWh of renewable electricity per year, significantly offsetting the building’s grid demand.
In addition to the rooftop solar installation, the site incorporates recycled materials, on-site EV charging infrastructure, and all-electric energy systems — ensuring the building operates with maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Igen worked closely with Glencar to coordinate the installation schedule, ensuring the solar system was delivered safely, on time, and in line with the project’s sustainability objectives.
The Results
-
Total system capacity: 290 kWp
-
Number of panels: 701
-
Annual generation: 272,000 kWh
-
Building certifications: BREEAM Excellent, Net Zero Carbon in use
-
Energy performance: Targeting A+ energy rating
-
Environmental impact: Substantial reduction in carbon emissions and operational energy costs
The completed system enables EVO Warrington 89 to operate as a highly sustainable logistics facility, producing a significant portion of its annual electricity consumption from clean, renewable sources.
The Impact
EVO Warrington 89 represents a benchmark in sustainable industrial development — combining innovative design, advanced renewable technology, and efficient energy management. The project demonstrates Glencar’s commitment to delivering net-zero carbon buildings and Igen’s ability to integrate high-performance solar PV systems into complex construction programmes. Together, Glencar and Igen have created a future-ready logistics space that not only supports the tenant’s operational needs but also contributes to a more sustainable built environment.
