Working Together To Combat Carbon Emissions

Net Zero

Getting Your Project Started

Funding Your Commercial Solar Panels

The UK government has set ambitious targets for achieving net zero emissions by 2050, and many businesses are aligning their strategies with these national goals. In the UK, as in many other countries, there’s a growing emphasis on businesses taking responsibility for their carbon footprint and committing to net zero targets as part of broader efforts to mitigate climate change.

Electech Installations can provide energy efficiency surveys to determine how measures can be integrated into your business to reduce your carbon footprint, these may include Solar PV, voltage optimisation and lighting controls. Enquire to speak to one of our advisors on how we can help your business achieve Net Zero.

How will the UK get to Net Zero?

Solar panels play a significant role in helping businesses achieve net zero emissions… here’s how:

On-site solar installations

Businesses can install solar panels on their rooftops or on unused land to generate clean, renewable electricity on-site. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels and decreases carbon emissions associated with electricity consumption.

Energy efficiency

Pairing solar panels with energy efficiency measures can maximise the impact of renewable energy generation. By reducing overall energy consumption through measures such as LED lighting, insulation, and energy-efficient appliances, businesses can further lower their carbon footprint.

Storage and grid interaction

Energy storage systems like batteries let businesses store excess solar energy for use during low sunlight. Additionally, participating in grid programs like net metering allows them to send surplus electricity back to the grid for credits or financial incentives.

Continuous monitoring and optimisation

Regularly monitoring solar panel performance and energy consumption to identify opportunities for optimisation. This may involve adjusting panel angles, upgrading equipment, or implementing smart energy management systems to maximise efficiency.

By integrating these strategies, businesses can effectively leverage solar panels to reduce their carbon footprint and work towards achieving net zero emissions.

What do solar panels do?

Solar panels harness the power of the sun to generate electricity. This power can then be used for anything electrical in the property, whether that be your TV, Electric Car Charger or Washing Machine.

In most cases definitely! as long as you have roof space, you can have a solar system. Solar panels perform best if they are on a south facing roof but can be placed on any roof as long as the sun can reach it. We can take a quick look at your property using our design software and within minutes you will know how many panels will fit on your roof.

This will all depend on the location of the equipment. We have to get a cable from the solar panels to an inverter and then to your fuseboard. This is usually done externally using conduit in a colour of your choice but we will always consult you to make sure it is as least invasive as possible.

There are a few factors that dictate if a battery is needed. These include, your lifestyle, consumption, system size and budget. In a normal solar system, any energy you don’t use from the solar panels will automatically be sent back to the national grid (for up to 7.5p/kWh) whereas if you store the energy you can use it when you would have paid 4-5 times that amount for the same kWh, so in most cases a battery is advisable.

This depends on a number of factors including system size, consumption, current electricity price and whether you have a battery or not. As a general rule of thumb, if you can fit the size system you require on your roof, we aim for an electricity bill offset of 50% with just solar panels and 80% with solar panels with a battery.

Yes, we install a range of different systems including air source heat pumps, solar assisted heat pumps and Solar PV immersion controllers that can reduce your heating needs.
