Winners of 2007 Yorkshire and Humberside Microgeneration Awards for Best Home Installation

Glen and Clare of Harmsworth, Townley & Co. Ltd are extremely proud to have demonstrated that, when it comes to alternatively powered energy, they practise what they preach. Not only does sustainability form the ethos for their business group, but the couple also do everything they can to maintain an environmentally-friendly home. Together with their family, Glen and Clare recycle, repair and re-use ad infinitum; they use only one car, clocking up just 3,000 miles per year; and they have reduced their household waste to a minimum. Perhaps the family's greatest achievement, however, is their award-winning home installation - the 5kwP Solar Power Installation - which produces around 80% of their domestic electricity. Glen and Clare's success at the prestigious Yorkshire and Humberside Microgeneration Awards was widely reported in the local and regional press, and they remain keen to continue in their pursuit of a sustainable future.
