Operating under the Better brand, GLL is the not-for-profit social enterprise that runs Liskeard Leisure Centre on behalf of Cornwall Council. SunGift Solar has supported Liskeard Leisure Centre in making a significant move towards sustainability with the installation of a 156kWp solar PV system and 128kWh battery storage dramatically reducing the running costs of this high energy-demand facility.

Brett Price
General Manager of Liskeard Leisure Centre
We’re very pleased with the work that’s been done and it’s already making a difference. Sustainability is key to running the centre as cost effectively and efficiently as possible and we’re grateful to Sport England for the funding they provided. We wanted to keep the centre operational whilst installation was underway and SunGift Solar enabled us to do that, whilst also meeting our deadlines

We Installed:

  • 335 x Aiko Solar 465 Watt solar PV panels
  • 4 x 25kW Sigen inverters and 128kWh Sigen battery storage

The solar PV system is expected to generate over 147,240 kWh of electricity annually, enough to power approximately 35 average UK homes each year. Complementing this is a 128kWh Sigen battery storage system, which improves energy efficiency and reduces reliance on the grid by storing excess energy for use during peak demand periods. Together, the panels and the battery combined are estimated that 90% of the energy generated will be used on site.

SunGift are delighted to have installed solar panels and batteries at Liskeard Leisure Centre helping the Centre save money on their electricity bills and reduce their carbon emissions. We delivered the project on time and on budget despite a tight external deadline and while allowing the Centre to remain fully operational

Solar PV for the Public Sector

In recent years, the public sector has increasingly turned to solar as a key part of its sustainability efforts.

Since 2005, SunGift Solar has worked with a wide range of public sector clients across the UK, from Government buildings, to schools, to leisure centres and hospitals. We take the time to understand each client’s unique needs, delivering bespoke, hassle-free solar PV systems tailored to their site’s energy demands and budget.

Liskeard Leisure Centre is part of Greenwich Leisure, and we’ve completed two solar PV installations for them, including a previous project at Helston Leisure Centre. Many of our clients return to us, recognising our expertise and the consistently high standard of our installations.
With leisure centres facing significant challenges from rising energy costs, solar offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution to help power these vital community hubs.
