A KEIGHLEY hardware supplier has gone green.
Pickard Hardware has installed a solar power system at its Marley office and warehouse.
The company commissioned Leeds-based G&H Sustainability to fit the panels, which will save an estimated £2,400 a year in fuel bills and slash carbon emissions.
The system will produce up to a third of the energy needed by Pickard, which supplies hardware to the timber window and door industry.
Managing director, Dale Spencer, said: "Installing a sophisticated solar panel system was extremely easy and makes perfect sense.
"It is an investment in our premises and our company which will see a return within a relatively short period of time.
"In addition, it means we are conducting our business more responsibly by using a natural, renewable source of energy."
