2026 – Celebrating Six Months of Solar Success
It’s hard to believe we’re already approaching the halfway point of the year. As we reflect on the first six months of 2026, it’s been an incredibly busy and rewarding period for everyone here at Jonstar. From commercial properties and schools, to care homes and domestic homes, our team has been working hard to deliver high- quality solar PV installations that help our clients reduce energy costs, improve energy independence, and take meaningful steps towards a more sustainable future.
With energy prices continuing to be a key concern for businesses and homeowners alike, investing in renewable energy has never been more important. Solar power provides a long-term solution that not only helps reduce operating costs but also supports organisations in achieving their environmental and sustainability goals.
Our Projects So Far This Year
We're proud of every installation we've completed, with each project tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. Over the past six months, our team has successfully delivered the following projects:
Broadmead Court – Part of the building refurbishment project
28 solar panels
30.26kWp system
This commercial installation will help generate clean, renewable electricity while reducing reliance on grid energy and supporting long-term operational savings.
Alexandra Primary School – Part of the building refurbishment project
10 solar panels
4.45kWp system
Schools are increasingly looking at ways to reduce energy expenditure while educating future generations about sustainability. This installation will help lower electricity costs and contribute towards a greener learning environment.
Drakelow School – Part of a new build project
26 solar panels
11.7kWp system
Another fantastic education sector project, providing renewable energy that can help reduce running costs and support the school's commitment to environmental responsibility.
Mattesley, Watermill & Winehala Care Homes – Retrofit project aimed to increase energy efficiency and reduce bills.
156, 277 and 172 solar panels
Three care homes installed
Combined capacity of 275.53k
This has been one of our largest projects so far this year. Care homes have significant and consistent energy demands, making solar an excellent investment. By installing solar PV across all three sites, these facilities are well positioned to reduce their electricity costs while continuing to provide high-quality care for their residents.
Rushes Lane & Stone House Lodge – Refurbishment and new build projects for new homeowners
11 and 6 solar panels
Two domestic installations
4.84kWp and 2.7kWp systems
We're equally passionate about helping homeowners benefit from renewable energy. These domestic installations will enable the homeowners to generate their own electricity, reduce household energy bills, and lower their carbon emissions for years to come.
Making a Collective Impact
Across these eight installations, we've delivered more than 320kWp of new solar generating capacity. Every panel installed represents another step towards cleaner energy, lower carbon emissions, and greater energy resilience for our clients.
While the numbers are something we're proud of, it's the positive impact these systems will have over their lifetime that matters most. From helping schools redirect savings into education, to supporting businesses in managing operational costs, and
enabling homeowners to become less dependent on rising energy prices, every project contributes to a more sustainable future.
None of these achievements would be possible without the dedication of our installation teams, project managers, and support staff, whose expertise and commitment ensure every project is delivered safely and to the highest standards.
We'd also like to thank all of our clients for placing their trust in Jonstar. It's a privilege to work alongside organisations and homeowners who share ourbcommitment to renewable energy and sustainability.
Looking Ahead
The first half of the year has set a fantastic foundation, but we're only just getting started. We have an exciting pipeline of projects ahead and look forward to helping even more businesses, schools, public sector organisations, and homeowners harness the benefits of solar energy.
As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, Jonstar remains committed to delivering reliable, high-quality solar solutions that help our clients lower their energy costs, reduce their carbon footprint, and build a more sustainable future.
