The SolarWall Transpired Solar Collector measures an enormous4,334m², the equivalent of more than 16 tennis courts,and is expected to provide energy savings of 1.1GWh (the equivalent energy use of two large M&S stores) and estimated CO2savings of over 250 tonnes per year.

Roger Platt, M&S Project Manager at Castle Donington, said: "There's a compelling case for renewable energy, both from a business and environmental point of view, when we build large, out-of-town sites. At our store in Cheshire Oaks a biomass boiler provides 70 per cent of the store's heating and here at Castle Donington the solar wall was the best possible option with such a large, south facing wall. The technology offers one of the fastest returns on investment of any solar technology currently available."
