Surrey company wins award for solar installation at Ewell’s Bourne Hall ›

Ewell’s largest landmark, Bourne Hall, is known for its distinctive modernist architecture and striking glass dome, making it a uniquely challenging site for the integration of renewable technology. A new solar installation, commissioned by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council to reduce carbon emissions and lower energy costs, has since earned Titan Eco the Small Scale Project (<£250k) Award at the London Energy Efficiency Regional Awards 2025.

Cllr Liz Frost (RA Woodocte and Langley), Chair of the Council’s Environment Committee, described it as:

“Part of a series of works that will make this picturesque and historical landmark more sustainable for future generations.”

Key outcomes:
• ~45,000 kWh generated annually
• Estimated £15,000 yearly savings
• Over 9 tonnes of CO₂ saved each year

Surrey-based Titan Eco delivered the installation in collaboration with WC Evans & Sons Ltd, who designed and installed the bespoke steel framework supporting 116 DMEGC all-black bifacial solar panels. As Titan Eco’s preferred supplier, DMEGC is known for the consistent quality of its panels and its transparent, responsibly sourced supply chain – aligning with Titan Eco’s commitment to ethical procurement.

Sam Tilley, Managing Director of Titan Eco, said:

“Bourne Hall is a great example of how solar can be integrated into a historic site without compromising its character… Knowing the system is in place and making a real difference is particularly meaningful.”

Titan Eco has also delivered solar installations at several other notable community sites, including the Rainbow Leisure Centre, Epsom Playhouse, St Giles & St George’s Church, and Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall – demonstrating an ongoing commitment to supporting public and community buildings on their journey to net zero.
