Toyota has switched on 13,000 solar panels to help fuel its engine production facility at Deeside in North Wales.
The solar array, designed and installed by British Gas, can produce up to 3,475,000 kWh a year - enough electricity to build up to 22,500 engines.= or 10% of all the electricity required for manufacturing at the site.
Toyota is expecting the solar panels to save more than 1800 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.
It took three months to install the panels, supplied by Tata Power Solar, which cover an area that's the equivalent of almost eight football pitches.
Established in 1992, the Deeside factory employs around 570 people, producing petrol and hybrid petrol engines for the British market and for export to Toyota production centres worldwide.
Toyota added a solar array to its Burnaston, Derbyshire factory in 2011.
