For Tayto’s manufacturing facility in Meath, we delivered a high-performance solar PV installation designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. The system features 1,734 ASTRONERGY panels installed over a seven-week period, with a total capacity of 771.63 kWp. It is expected to generate approximately 667,391 kWh annually, avoiding around 156.17 tonnes of CO₂ each year — equivalent to planting over 4,000 trees — while strengthening onsite renewable generation and supporting the company’s sustainability goals.
