SOLAR PV

SOLAR PV


Solar, simply put is power obtained by harnessing the energy of the suns rays. The use of Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) as an energy solution has snowballed over the last few years. The increasing number of businesses using Solar technologies in their energy systems has spurred technological advances in performance, reduced costs and complimentary energy-saving technologies.

Harness the energy from the sun.

The Why

There are many advantages to installing Solar in your business energy mix, including improved fuel security and energy price stability. Generating your energy with a Solar PV system will reduce your reliance on unstable energy prices and supplies. Utilising the energy you produce means you will pay less for your energy than from a utility and in essence, you become your energy producer. Solar PV systems can generate a payback as quickly as 5 to 6 years. And with the increasing research and development into solar technologies such as energy storage, the potential for Solar technology is enormous for the future.

The What

In simple terms, there are two parts to a Solar PV system. The first part, the PV panels or Photovoltaic Modules sit on your roof or are mounted on a system on the ground. These are linked to an inverter and connected to the electrical system of your office or factory. Whenever it is daylight outside, the Solar PV panels generate a direct electric current (DC) which the electrical system converts into an (AC) current via the inverter. The great news is that this electricity can then be directly used by the electrical appliances in your building, after which any surplus electricity generated is fed back to the grid.

The How

Following a site visit to see where your Solar PV system would be best installed, our experienced in- house team will design and select the highest quality products available in the industry. We only install proven solar panel and inverter technology from Tier 1 suppliers to make sure your investment maximises the 20-year feed-in tariff revenue. We will then put together a thorough business case, outlining the technology options available, benefits to the company and costs, and if you are eligible as a business, we will also assist you with Carbon Trust funding options to offer you the most appropriate system for your needs and budget.

Self generate your energy from Solar PV.

Over the past decade there has been a significant shift in how businesses operate, especially when it comes to managing energy across their property portfolios. The growing competition for energy supplies has prompted the private and public sector to review and measure their energy consumption and implement energy management strategies that drives down energy usage through cost-saving initiatives. This has all been made possible via technological advances to create efficient and innovative energy management strategies that provides tangible results.

Energy management is defined as the process of controlling, monitoring and conserving energy. It includes practices such as metering and taking all possible opportunities to save energy within a building. Many buildings contain legacy systems in need of review and upgrade and when it comes to property development the energy strategy needs to be a key consideration, particularly as energy management constitutes around 40 percent of building management costs.
