In the current climate, defined by sustainability, the decision to invest in your environmental responsibilities is an integral issue that organisations are keen to acknowledge, with the spotlight being shone on renewable energy solutions. 

None more so discussed than Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) and how it is increasingly becoming a popular choice within the corporate landscape.  

In brief, Solar PV is a fantastic solution that can see organisations not only reducing their carbon footprint, but also see energy bill reduction become an influential factor. 

Throughout this page we will introduce Solar PV, whilst helping you to understand what it is and why more organisations are considering installation. 

What is Solar PV? 

Solar PV, or more commonly referred to as solar panels, capture energy from the sun, before converting that sun light into electricity.  

The electricity which has been generated by the Solar PV panels can then be utilised within the workplace, powering your lights and internal infrastructure. 

What is great (and extremely relevant to organisations) is that Solar PV is environmentally friendly, as no greenhouse gases are emitted when they are producing electricity.  

Why Solar PV could be a worthwhile investment for your organisation. 

•  Cost Savings: Immediately after your solar panels are installed you will begin to not only generate energy, but you will also begin generating an ROI, through significantly reduced energy bills… This is even more appropriate for the warehousing, logistics and manufacturing sectors, because warehouses, with the large, flat roofs provide an optimal environment for solar panels.  
• Carbon footprint reduction: Most organisations are actively looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, through production of your own, clean, renewable energy. With solar PV you can align your organisations sustainability goals with the objectives of becoming increasingly compliant with UK governing regulations. 
• Longevity: The average lifespan for solar panels is more than 25 years, making the installation a worthwhile investment, not only in sustainability terms, but in energy savings over that period. 
• Customer acquisition: Customers are increasingly looking to work with organisations who are prioritising their responsibility towards sustainability. Installation of the solar panels upon your workplace not only shows your commitment to reducing your carbon footprint, but they can also be an influential factor in gaining new business, particularly those with environmentally conscious stakeholders. 

Overall, Solar PV can not only be a sustainable solution, but can also make financial and operational sense, aligning your business-critical operations with government regulations and cost savings.
