What’s more, your investment could pay for itself in less than 5 years. We can recommend high quality products from leading specialists that have been proven to perform well.
EV Charging Points
With more than 80,000 drivers making the switch to electric vehicles, workplace EV charging stations make good commercial sense. EV charging points will not only encourage and support staff to switch to electric vehicles, but it will also help to bring new custom to your business and enhance your business’ green credentials. Public spaces such as airports, retail parks and offices, among others, in particular, can benefit from EV charging stations on their premises for staff and visitors alike.
Battery Storage
Battery storage solutions are installed on-site as a means for businesses to storage and discharge electricity when it’s needed, independent from the grid. Battery storage units can be installed independently as a standalone product to store energy from the grid during lower cost periods for later use. Or they can be integrated with commercial solar panels to maximise the financial and environmental benefits that panels provide for your property. In particular, SMEs such as offices, restaurants and retail spaces can benefit from this type of energy solution. Eneco can analyse your business and gauge its suitability to design the ideal system.
Commercial Solar Panels
Commercial solar panels have the potential to save your business money and even earn you an income, all through converting the sun’s rays into valuable power for your property. Eneco Consulting can help assess your solar needs, from analysing your energy consumption profile to providing recommendations to ensure you have sufficient energy for your premises.
The Benefits of Business Solar Panels
Solar energy offers a great range of benefits for businesses in virtually all sectors and industries, from warehouses and offices to retail parks, schools and public spaces. One of the primary reasons why so many businesses are opting to invest in solar power is the cost-saving benefits it provides. With commercial solar PV, you could reduce your electricity bills by as much as 90% and potentially pay the equivalent of 2p/kWh for the electricity you use.
Commercial solar panels are low maintenance and won’t disrupt your business in any way – in fact, with the latest technology, you could be benefitting from free power almost instantly after installation. Solar panels for businesses also provide guaranteed returns, with a potential ROI of up to 20%. Over the 25-year lifespan of solar panels, you could be looking at savings of thousands of pounds. And if you’re using industrial solar panels, you can even sell excess energy as an additional revenue stream.
With the climate crisis such a prominent issue today, investing in renewable energy can improve the public perception of your business through corporate social responsibility, which is another valuable advantage for brands who are conscious of their image.
Why Use Commercial Solar Panels for Your Business?
Whichever sector you work in, your business can take advantage of the many benefits that solar panels can deliver. Perhaps you want to cut costs on your energy bills, futureproof your business’ energy supply or simply reduce the carbon footprint of your company. Commercial solar panels can provide a fantastic renewable energy solution that your business can benefit from for many years to come.
There has been a steady increase in the number of businesses investing in solar power. Since most businesses are active throughout the day, when solar panels produce the most energy, it is an energy source that makes sense for commercial premises.
For this reason, solar PV can save your business a huge amount of money each year – especially if you run an energy-intensive business, such as warehouses or industrial premises. The advantages of commercial solar energy can be applied to almost any sector, meaning that whatever your business or organisation, you stand to benefit.
How Much Do Solar Panels Cost?
The cost of commercial solar PV depends on several factors, from the size of your property to where you intend to install them. If you’re paying outright, a small commercial solar panel system is likely to cost in the region of £10,000. This cost includes the supply and installation fees, as well as inverters and isolators, testing and certification, and administrative fees, such as registering with regulators.
The good news is that there are schemes and finance agreements available to help businesses make the most of solar power. Eneco can help you in identifying schemes you may be eligible for to lower the cost of switching to commercial solar PV.
Electrical Vehicle Charge Points
Over the past decade, the number of electric and hybrid vehicles on the roads has risen exponentially, offering a more environmentally friendly solution to transportation. Charging an electric vehicle (EV) at your own charge point could cut costs by as much as half, compared to public charging stations, and they offer greater convenience. We help businesses offset carbon emissions and generate additional revenue through commercial EV charging stations that are compatible with any electric vehicle.
The Benefits of EV Charging Points
EV charge points work similarly to petrol pumps, but they output electricity instead of petrol or diesel. Charging stops automatically when the battery is full, so you’re not paying for more than is needed to charge the vehicle fully. EVs are cheaper to run than traditional cars and could save EV owners over £500 a year on fuel costs alone. By recharging with electricity from your own renewable energy source, the fuel costs are zero.
Making the transition to an electric vehicle can help to contribute towards a cleaner environment and makes a big difference in the right against the climate crisis by improving air quality. Even when charged by grid electricity, electric vehicles have a far smaller environmental footprint than standard vehicles. By combining a charge point with a renewable energy system, you can run a zero-emissions vehicle.
Why Invest in EV Charging Points for Your Business?
Businesses can benefit from government grants which cover up to 75% of the costs in purchasing and installing EV charge points, making it a cost-effective solution that can add value to your property. Not only are customers with EVs more likely to spend longer on your premises in order to charge, encouraging them to buy more of your products or services, but charging points themselves can be a source of revenue through the option of selling electricity to EV owners.
Investing in an EV charging infrastructure can boost your brand’s ethical reputation too, which can enhance customer loyalty in favour of a less eco-conscious competitor. It can also boost your brand’s visibility to bring in new clients, with a growing number of tools available to help EV owners plan routes and locate sites with charging points. For businesses with staff who own electric vehicles, it meets the needs of staff and demonstrates businesses as responsive and committed to their employees.
Businesses in a host of the different sector can benefit from EV charging systems, from large offices that need to cater to the needs of their staff to leasing firms with EVs who need sufficient charging points for their own vehicles. Similarly, businesses who have, or hope to transition to, electric fleets need charging infrastructure in place. With most European countries aiming to be fully electric by 2030, now is the ideal time to get ahead of competitors and capitalise on this technology sooner rather than later.
Commercial Heat Pumps
Heat Pumps move heat from one area to another to be used elsewhere in your business, offering businesses the advantage of reduced overheads, a lower carbon footprint and earning potential.
One of the most common types of heat pumps is the ground source heat pump, but there are other types available to deliver a cost-effective solution for businesses. We have extensive experience in the design and installation of commercial heat pumps to meet the requirements of your business, whatever industry you’re operating in.
The Advantages to Commercial Heat Pumps
Heat pumps have grown in popularity for businesses as they offer a cost-effective solution to energy needs and are cheaper to run than oil or gas boilers, or direct electric heating systems. Another benefit of commercial heat pumps is that they can be fully automated so they are less demanding for companies to operate compared to biomass boilers. There’s no need to manage fuel deliveries or the risk of fuel being stolen, making them a secure option.
With no combustion involved, heat pumps are safe and don’t emit any harmful gases, making them a more environmentally friendly and safer option. One of the primary reasons that businesses invest in commercial heat pumps is that they have a longer lifespan than combustion boilers and are unobtrusive, with no planning permission required for their installation.
What Do Heat Pumps Cost to Install?
The costs associated with installing a heat pump system isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are various aspects to designing and installing the system that need to be taken into consideration, such as the size of the property, how it is constructed, how well insulated the property is, how much room and access is available, and what methods will be used to distribute the heat.
