About Us
Select Solar is an independent, family-owned business, established in 2001 by Fran Tattersall and Paul Beattie. With academic backgrounds in conservation and robotics, Fran and Paul set up Select Solar Ltd in response to a growing public awareness of environmental issues and mounting alarm at the impacts of climate change. Through our products we hope to introduce you to some new technologies and inspire us all towards a carbon-free future.

How we reduce our environmental impact
We care deeply about environmental issues and ethical business. In all our dealings with customers, staff and suppliers we act ethically and treat others as we would wish to be treated ourselves. Staff work flexible hours to accommodate their individual circumstances. Living and working in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside keeps us happy and means Digby the office dog gets plenty of walks!
We are keenly aware of our environmental responsibilities and have tried to promote the use of solar energy as part of all our daily lives by sourcing high quality products that can fit into anybody's life style.
Power:
Select Solar's warehouse and office in Cricklade are powered by 100% renewable energy from Good Energy.
Waste:
We reuse and recycle the vast majority of our paper and packaging. Paper is put through the printer twice before being shredded and used in packaging. Cardboard boxes are reused and cut to size if necessary. Any polystyrene, bubble wrap or foam that comes into the warehouse is reused - we even take some waste packaging from neighbouring businesses.
Printing and paper:
We only print stationary as we need it, and use recycled paper and biodegradable inks whenever possible. All printer cartridges are recycled.
Travel:
We all live locally and don't make unnecessary journeys.
