Halifax-based energy efficiency specialists, Eclipse Energy, are creating more local jobs as demand for solar energy booms in Calderdale.
Eclipse Energy work across The North of England installing energy efficient measures in homes. They work with both domestic homes and as part of large government contracts. They are the main sponsor of Halifax Panthers Rugby League club. Additionally, they were recognised as Insulation Installer of the Year at the 2022 Yorkshire Energy Efficiency Awards.
Earlier in the year, the company announced that they were expanding their range of services, adding both domestic and commercial solar panel installations to their existing insulation and heating products. These solar systems generate free electricity from the sun, which can be stored and used at night-time in a home battery.
Demand for the service has skyrocketed as homeowners have become more environmentally conscious, in response to rising energy bills. The company has already created nine full time positions, with plans to create another 10 jobs in the next 12 months.
Daniel Cawdron, Director of the Renewable Energy Division, commented “The demand for our solar energy products has been huge, and we’d like to thank everyone who’s got in touch and for their patience as we handle so many enquiries. It’s great to be able to help so many people and create local jobs”.
“We know that people are worried about energy prices. We’re working as hard as we can to scale up whilst still delivering a high-quality service”.
The company anticipate that they could install up to 500 domestic systems in 2023. Additionally with 5 Megawatts of commercial solar on top of this.
“Our projected carbon savings for the next 12 months are going to make a huge difference in West Yorkshire” Daniel added. “Our systems will save the equivalent of driving 21 million miles or planting almost a quarter of a million trees.”
