Solar Energy For Businesses In Durham

The Benefits of Solar Energy For Businesses In Durham

Reduce Energy Costs

By generating your own electricity from a renewable source, reducing the need to purchase energy from the grid, you could lower utility bills and provide long-term savings.

Work Towards Net-Zero

By integrating solar power into their energy strategy, businesses can effectively reduce or eliminate their reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity.

Reliability

By generating your own electricity, you are more self-sustainable, and can rely less on the grid. This means you are likely not to experience power outages when the grid goes down.

Green Credentials

Showcase your efforts to reduce carbon emissions, mitigate climate change, and contribute to a greener future, resonating positively with customers.

Government Incentives

Businesses can take advantage of various financial incentives and tax credits available for solar installations, further enhancing the cost-saving benefits.

Smart Export Guarantee

If you generate excess electricity that is not stored in batteries, it is exported back to the national grid; which you could benefit from through securing an Export Tariff.

What is Solar Energy?

Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of power that reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. By generating electricity on-site, businesses in Durham can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future. Additionally, installing solar PV systems helps to hedge against rising energy costs. As businesses generate their electricity, they become less reliant on purchasing power from the grid, shielding them from unpredictable price fluctuations and providing long-term cost savings. Moreover, solar energy systems often have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance, resulting in further financial benefits over their operational lifetime.

Installation of Solar Energy

You will have access to bespoke designs, specific to your site and usage. The proposal you would receive not only displays how much the installation would cost (self-funded) but also shows how the installation would look on the site, and how long it would take to have a return on investment in a detailed analysis.

Alternative to self-funding the solar projects, we offer a wide variety of means to support you in your ambition to become more sustainable. Through the utilisation of the following offers, you can take control of your goals and do it your way.

We can assist with a multitude of financing options that may not be on the above list. For more information on the financing options available and how they can benefit your business, please get in touch using the button below.

Solar Energy Battery

A solar battery is a device that stores excess electricity generated by a solar PV system. It allows for the storage and utilisation of solar energy during times when the sun is not shining, such as at night or during cloudy periods. They also help businesses in having a more reliable and resilient power supply, as they can continue to access electricity during grid outages.

Additionally, solar batteries can help to maximise the utilisation of solar energy, as excess power is stored rather than being sent back to the grid. This allows for greater energy independence and the potential to reduce electricity bills further by minimising the need to purchase electricity from the grid during peak times or when solar generation is low.

We can offer battery storage of any capacity, and also incorporate Energy Management Systems (EMS) to control the stored electricity.

Smart Export Guarantee for Solar

Solar installations come with the potential occurrence of generating excess power. Simply due to operational hours, or generating too much at one given time for the site demand.

This power, if not stored in batteries is exported back to the national grid, which you can benefit from through securing an Export Tariff from suppliers.

We are able to offer this service through our framework and negotiate these export tariffs for you, direct with suppliers.

Solar Operations and Maintenance

By keeping your solar panels well-maintained, you can increase system performance and longevity. We can arrange, and manage O&M Contracts for your installation, as frequently as needed.

A word from one of our customers...

“Matthew and his team were very helpful in pulling together the quote for us at a time we were not getting responses from other suppliers. They were also helpful answering questions (and being patient) as we went through out internal approval process for the expenditure.The installation was completed much faster than we had expected and we are now very pleased to see reductions already in our electricity costs, and have access to generation monitoring tools that allow us to check on how our electricity generation is going. Overall very pleased. We have also shown other local businesses around our installation to help them with their consideration of their own plans.”
