Reap The Benefits Of Solar Power For Your Business

As the world becomes more environmentally conscious and traditional energy costs rise, many businesses are looking to take steps to reduce their carbon footprint and their energy costs. One of the most effective ways to do so is by installing solar panels and battery storage. If the capital expenditure required is a barrier for your business, we can help by offering zero-capex solar panel installations.

Renewable Transition Is A National Target

The UK government has recognised that for the country to be energy self-sufficient a transition to renewables is essential, solar and wind are the two technologies highlighted as vital to that process. It has set a target of increasing the country’s solar power capacity to 70GW by 2035, and to be a net-zero economy by 2050. Rooftop installations will play a key role in helping the UK achieve its target. As major property owners, landlords and businesses are at the forefront of that challenge.

The Advantages of Solar

Solar panels can provide businesses with a reliable and sustainable source of energy. By converting sunlight into electricity, they can help businesses reduce their reliance on traditional fossil fuels, which have become increasingly expensive and harmful to the environment. Global pressures have regularly impacted supply availability meaning access to natural gas for example is often a challenge for governments and energy companies. Solar power can provide a consistent source of energy that is not subject to price fluctuations or supply constraints. We provide solar panel installations to businesses with zero capital outlay.

Battery storage can help businesses store the energy generated by their solar panels. This means that businesses can use the energy they generate during the day to power their operations at night or during times of high demand. By storing energy, businesses can reduce their reliance on the grid, which can be unreliable and prone to outages. We also install battery storage systems for an additional cost.

The benefits of solar panels and battery storage for businesses are numerous. Here are just a few of them:

Cost savings: By generating their own energy, businesses can reduce their electricity bills and save money in the long run. Additionally, solar panels and battery storage can provide businesses with a predictable source of energy, which can help them better manage their budgets.
Environmental benefits: By reducing their reliance on fossil fuels, businesses can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Solar panels and battery storage can help businesses reduce their overall carbon footprint.
Energy independence: By generating their own energy and storing it, businesses can become more self-sufficient and less reliant on the grid. This can help them avoid outages and reduce their vulnerability to energy price fluctuations.
Enhanced corporate image: Many consumers are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious and are actively seeking out businesses with strong environmental credentials that are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint. By installing solar panels and battery storage, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and improve their brand image.

At HDM Energies, we offer businesses and commercial landlords a viable, cost-effective route to installing a solar panels system, without the large upfront capital investment. By covering the cost of the equipment and installation itself we provide businesses access to fixed lower cost energy for a guaranteed period of time, therefore reducing reliance on the big energy companies and fluctuating prices. For those looking to store excess energy, we also install battery storage systems for an additional cost.
