Why Solar Works in St Helens
St Helens combines affordability with solar potential. Glass Futures (opened June 2023, £54m, 165,000 sq ft) houses the world's first openly accessible multi-fuel hybrid glass melting furnace. Pilkington/NSG Group manufactures Optiwhite low-iron glass used in solar panels themselves. Haydock Industrial Estate features massive warehouses adjacent to M6 J23. The 2.5x price gap between Rainford (£270k) and Parr (£80-100k) creates two distinct markets.
St Helens combines affordability with solar potential. The home of Pilkington glass — the company that invented the float-glass process — now hosts Glass Futures, a £54m world-first research facility for decarbonising glass production.
