    The Industry

    Shopping centres in the UK are major energy consumers due to their long operating hours, large spaces, and energy needs. Willow Place Shopping Centre is no exception, with its expansive roof space ideal for rooftop solar retrofit. Like many shopping centres in the UK, this installation will help reduce reliance on grid power, lower carbon emissions, and increase energy efficiency, making shopping centres more competitive and appealing to tenants focused on sustainability.
