Member blog: Switching off the smart way – you can avoid the energy hike

I cannot champion them enough. Solar panels provide clean, efficient and cost-effective energy that will reduce your carbon footprint and get those staggering costs under control.  Of course, for some businesses they may not be an option due to building or contractual limitations, but it never hurts to get an assessment and nowadays this can easily be done remotely just with a desktop analysis using energy readings and your latest energy bill.

I’ve often heard comments that indicate a misconception that solar energy is all well and good but costly to instal.  The reality couldn’t be further away. It is possible to have solar panels at zero capital cost, something I specialise in with fully funded solutions for businesses of all sizes.

There are other ways to reduce energy consumption and costs if solar panels are not an option, or perhaps as a reinforcement if they are.  Here I am thinking along the lines of voltage optimisation.

This star equipment can breathe new life into the way you use energy and have a serious impact on reducing your costs, making operations so much more planet-friendly in the process.

With Voltage Optimisation typical savings are around 10% on our customer’ total electricity costs per annum. This clever piece of equipment will also help cut your CO2 emissions. An assessment of your energy output will ascertain whether are exceeding the level you actually need. In which case the Voltage Optimiser can be installed to adjust your output to the most cost-effective level.

Do your research, switch those alarm bells off, and use this pivotal time to get your costs under control and work sustainability into your business operations’ framework.
