How renewables and carbon offset benefits SME owners

Are you a SME company owner or senior manager?

If yes, then controlling costs will always be a key focus for you. One significant, and often unnecessarily high, business cost is energy use. The good news is, renewables and carbon offsetting can significantly cut this.

What’s involved?

Carbon offsetting through renewable energy and self-generated electricity is the future of our energy use. As you’re probably aware, one of the best-known methods is solar PV on the roof of business and domestic properties. With electric cars becoming increasingly popular, more people and businesses are choosing solar to power their journeys.

Renewable energy is certainly in the news at the moment. A recent announcement by the Prime Minister has promised a huge investment in wind farm infrastructure, aiming to deliver green power to all British homes by 2030 and as a key step towards zero UK emissions by 2050.

How can this benefit your SME?

By switching to self-powered energy you’ll cut your carbon footprint, reduce your energy bills and meet your ethical business aims. Solar is an ideal option for pretty much any type of business – from shops to pubs, from offices to factories, and more. The financial benefits can be significant, with up to 80% saved on your energy costs (along with an internal rate of return of up to 25%). In addition, your business will be more independent and better protected against rising energy costs – and you’ll start to see a financial return from the moment you switch on. A recent solar Kembla installation for an SME client, Boldmere St. Michaels FC, is now saving them £4,000 a year.

Easy set-up

If the thought of a lengthy installation process is putting you off, don’t worry. Happily, that’s not the case. From initial enquiry to switch on, your installation is likely to take between one and six weeks, depending on the size of the project. Our team will work around you, usually up on the roof!, so there will be no day to day business disruption either.
