Longworth Has Launched Redsky Solar
Leading building envelope specialist Longworth has launched Redsky Solar to combine expertise in roofing with a full rooftop Solar PV design and installation service.
Building on Longworth's 150 years of experience in the roofing industry, new solar division Redsky is one of the only solar companies in the UK to offer PV installation by roofing experts.
Paul Smith, Managing Director of Longworth and Fellow of the Institute of Roofing said: "The growth in the renewables sector and the increasing drive towards sustainable construction made strengthening our solar offer a natural step for Longworth.
"Solar panels can be fitted to new or existing roofs to save money on energy bills and reduce carbon emissions. Our engineers bring together expertise in roofing and solar, so Redsky Solar clients have the added benefit of knowing that installation will not damage the structure of their existing roof or compromise roofing guarantees."
Longworth has already been involved with over 7,000 solar installations on public sector and commercial properties and is confident that having dedicated solar arm Redsky will help them to grow this area of the business.
Paul Smith added: "Demand for renewable energy is set to grow as emissions reductions targets reduce and green taxes increase.
"Clients have already told us that being able to use installers from one of the UK's leading roofing experts has given them the confidence to embrace solar power, and we are proud to be able to help businesses, schools and hospitals around the country discover the benefits of cleaner, greener energy."
