SOLAR PV BENEFITS
 

Large organisations are responsible for around 10% of the UK’s carbon emissions and are under increasing pressure from Government to reduce them. The sun is a truly sustainable energy source which makes solar PV an excellent green energy option with unique benefits:

1. Solar PV can meet on-site electricity needs for lighting, heating & cooling and processes. Optimal for sites which have reasonable energy demands during the day.

2. Environmentally responsible. Can meet CRC & other carbon reduction responsibilities.

3. Reduce your carbon footprint. A typical warehouse installation of 50kWp occupying some 300m² will save 500 tonnes of carbon over 25 years of operation.* refer to case below

4. An attractive multi-site income opportunity for businesses with geographically separate operations to install more solar and attract the higher tariff rate for all sites.

5. Investment returns of more than 10% per annum initially rising with annual RPI adjustments.

6. A safe, well proven technology. Reliable and low maintenance that comes from having no moving parts.

7. Opportunity to ‘lock in’ to current tariff structure will ensure that property values increase as a result of solar installations. As energy bills increase, in the long term, properties that already have panels will be increasingly in demand.

8. Silent operation and low visual intrusion makes planning consent a straightforward process that we will manage on your behalf.
