Installing solar PV systems and energy storage solutions offers manufacturing and engineering businesses a range of benefits, including cost savings, energy independence, environmental sustainability, and long-term financial stability. Manufacturers can leverage solar energy to reduce their operating costs, and position themselves as leaders in sustainable manufacturing.
Increasingly weighty business overheads are making energy consumption a growing source of concern for manufacturing companies, particularly with utility prices rising year on year. As a result forward thinking manufacturers are looking closely at both what they pay for their energy and how they use it. Generally speaking, the higher the user of energy – the higher the savings and therefore the larger the benefits sought – making the manufacturing sector the perfect case for solar panels, battery storage and other renewable energy technologies such as solar carports.
Whilst self-financing is the most popular option for purchasing commercial solar panels and offers the best returns over the lifetime of a system, many companies have restricted budgets or would prefer to spend their capital elsewhere. With our payment solutions, you can start saving instantly and take control of your energy costs – with no upfront cost.
