AJW Group’s aircraft battery maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility, AJW Technique Europe, has started to integrate solar energy into its operations.
The company’s Europe facility, located at London Gatwick Airport, offers battery repair and overhaul services, including deep cycle, top charge, cleaning, and re-blocking for all commercial aircraft main, auxiliary, and emergency power supplies.
With the installation of over 2,500 solar panels, which are expected to generate nearly 800,000 kWh of clean energy annually, the 175,000 sq. ft. AJW headquarters has the potential to power up to 55% of its UK-based operations with solar energy.
"Expanding our solar capacity and integrating solar energy into our battery MRO facility reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability, customer success, and the principles of the UNGC,” said Clyde Buntrock FCILT, CEO of AJW Aviation and AJW Technique. “We are proud to offer reliable, environmentally responsible aircraft battery services that help our customers achieve their environmental goals."
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to reduce the company’s carbon footprint and promote green energy solutions across all business areas.
