Borough leaders sought reduced energy costs and environmental impacts at council-owned senior homes. Aston Group and Spartek ECS installed a customized solar installation for the pilot project at Longfield House. Waltham Forest also procured on-site battery storage to retain unused energy. This installation produces an estimated 72,134 kilowatt-hours of energy each year and reduces annual emissions by 18,466 kilograms.
