JS Holmes Ltd Expands Green Commitment with New Solar Installation and Electric Vehicle Leadership
– JS Holmes Ltd is proud to announce the completion of a new solar energy installation, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.
The 76kW solar system, comprising 171 high-efficiency 445-watt panels, fitted to the showroom and commercial workshop roof, is expected to generate nearly 40% of the company’s annual electricity consumption. By using 75% of the energy produced on-site and feeding excess power back into the grid, JS Holmes will significantly reduce reliance on external energy sources. The system is projected to save approximately 16 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year—equivalent to the environmental benefit of planting hundreds of trees.
This investment builds upon JS Holmes’ wider sustainability initiatives, including a 100% renewable electricity tariff, as well as ongoing efforts to recycle oil, tyres, and cardboard while minimising general waste, this all in addition to installing a new invironmently friendly water based paint system in our bodyshop in 2024.
Leading the Transition to Electric Vehicles
In addition to reducing its operational carbon footprint, JS Holmes Ltd is actively supporting the transition to electric mobility. The company is proud to have supplied over 100 used electric vehicles in the past year, helping more customers make the switch to zero-emission driving.
As a Maxus commercial vehicle dealer, JS Holmes offers a wide range of electric commercial vehicles, providing sustainable transport solutions for businesses. This includes the latest addition to the Maxus lineup, the eT90 electric 4x4 pickup, which brings emission-free capability to the commercial vehicle market.
Alex Holmes, Company Director at JS Holmes Ltd, commented:
"At JS Holmes, we are committed to driving positive environmental change while ensuring the long-term sustainability of our operations. Our investment in solar energy, alongside our dedication to electric vehicles, highlights our ambition to be at the forefront of the green transition. We would like to thank local company 4 WAY Group for the great experience from quotation to install. https://www.4waygroup.co.uk/ "
With a strong focus on sustainability, JS Holmes continues to demonstrate that environmental responsibility and commercial success can go hand in hand.
