Almost 430 new solar panels have been installed at a Lincolnshire business park.
Lindum has made the investment at its North Hykeham Business Park in an effort to reduce the amount of energy pulled from the National Grid - and save around £16,000 a year.
The 429 solar panels will also offset more than 66 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year - which is around the same amount that 3,176 fully grown trees could absorb.

The panels were installed by North Hykeham company UK Alternative Energy, which is based down the road from Lindum on the Westminster Industrial Estate.
Managing director Derrick Denton said: "It has been great to work with John Chaplin at Lindum on this project and to see Lindum take its corporate responsibility seriously in light of current climate change issues on this site and others they own.
"This has been a big investment and I hope this inspires other Lincolnshire companies to make the change."
Construction and property management firm Lindum has committed to being a net zero carbon company by 2031.
It is partnering with The Planet Mark, to certify and measure its carbon footprint to Government standards and support its journey to substantial reductions.
This is Lindum’s fifth installation of solar panels. Others can be found on buildings at its Waste Recycling Centre in Saxilby, at its joinery workshop in Lincoln, at its Stores building in Lincoln and at the Peterborough Business Park.
The latest investment has come about partly thanks to the Government's Covid recovery response, as businesses are being offered tax incentives to press ahead with capital spending projects.
The investment is expected to be recouped via bill savings within next six to seven years and there are already talks to expand the scheme early next year.
