Sinclair Group’s solar investment tackles energy costs and boosts bottom line

• Sinclair Group’s investment is proving that sustainability isn’t just ethical - it’s profitable
• Energy costs are unpredictable, but Sinclair Group has found a way to take control
• What if your dealership’s rooftops could generate revenue instead of just sheltering cars?

Sinclair Group is making a significant investment in solar energy across its 23 dealerships in a bold move to align sustainability with financial prudence.

By integrating solar panels into its operations, the family-owned dealership group is proving that going green isn’t just about corporate responsibility - it’s a game-changer for both business efficiency and profitability.

The decision to invest in solar energy is rooted in hard financial data. With energy costs fluctuating and sustainability regulations tightening, Sinclair Group recognised the opportunity to turn its dealership rooftops into power-generating assets.

Speaking exclusively to AM, Richard Seaward, Sinclair’s head of strategic development, discusses projected savings over the next 25 years and how soon the business expects a return on its investment across both owned and leased properties.

Beyond the financial benefits, Sinclair Group views its solar investment as a way to future-proof its business and reinforce its commitment to sustainability. The initiative aligns with its broader ‘Belong For Good’ mission, ensuring that employees, customers, and the community see Sinclair as a forward-thinking, responsible business.

For senior dealership executives seeking a cost-effective way to boost profitability while meeting sustainability goals, Sinclair Group’s solar power strategy serves as a successful blueprint – which Seaward is offering to share. The message is clear: the future of automotive retail isn’t just electric - it’s solar-powered.
