Rooftop solar panels are the cheapest way of providing electricity to a building and could reduce your power costs by more than half
As more and more people adopt electric vehicles, your business will need to provide charge points for your own fleets, staff and customers

Energy and transport costs are significant overheads for many businesses which can severely impact the bottom line. On top of this, companies are increasingly having to reduce their carbon footprint as the non-domestic sector needs to contribute to our national climate change targets.
This is where green technology can help. Installing a solar roof for your business and switching to electric vehicles both help reduce costs, and save carbon at the same time. The burden of carbon reporting, reduction and compliance can be made much easier by these two step changes in environmental impact.
Green solutions for businesses can also be positive for your brand and public image, as well as offering numerous benefits to your staff, clients and customers.
As a business, you’re always looking to find efficiencies. Installing solar PV is an excellent way of making use of a massively underutilised asset – the dead space on your rooftop.
Solar PV on a commercial rooftop generates the cheapest electricity around, because of economies of scale during the build, and because the majority of electricity produced is used by you, directly on site. Commercial solar panels can generate electricity for as little as 4p/kWh – compared to a typical 8-10p/kWh from your utility.
A roof will take 5-7 years to pay back, and from that point on, you’ll have nearly 20 years of pure profit. And if you don’t have the capital available, we can help there too. A financed solar roof means you can benefit from lower bills without having to spend capital upfront. We can even raise finance for your business solar panels from the local community.
The Government are also offering 50% tax breaks for businesses installing solar panels.
Electric vehicle charge points are going to become essential for businesses over the coming decade. We can provide a range of different electric vehicle charge point solutions, depending on the nature of your business.
If you own a fleet of vehicles, switching to electric can dramatically reduce your running costs. We can provide the right charge points, in the right place, to ensure your business runs as effectively as possible.
Other businesses will find the electric car charging stations for companies are vital for attracting customers who are EV owners.
And your staff will be wanting to drive their own electric cars to work. It’s a good idea to keep them happy!
Smart charging points allow you to control access and set a variety of tariffs for different user types. You can even integrate them with your finance departments for automatic payment settlement.
