In light of the UK Government’s target of decarbonising all sectors of the UK economy to net zero by 2050, businesses are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
Established business models are being challenged through the implementation of new technology, environmental policies, and work practices.
With more organisations becoming proactive in their carbon reduction targets, and environmentally astute employees being onboard with changes, the route to net zero is progressing, but there is global concern that progress isn’t fast enough.
The energy consumption of businesses is a significant factor. Over the past decade solar panels and intelligent LED lighting systems have been installed by an increasing number of businesses for both carbon reduction and to boost profits.
According to Solar Energy UK Chief Executive Chris Hewett: “More and more consumers and businesses are investing in solar because they know it is a proven way to cut their energy bills and carbon emissions”.

The benefits of using green energy
By generating your own energy with a solar PV roof, even on the most challenging UK weather days, you reduce the energy costs of your business. Despite m
The sooner a business acts on reducing energy consumption by investing in renewable and low carbon technologies, the sooner they will save money and accelerate towards the carbon net zero target of 2050.
Green energy offers a significant return on investment. Global demand for renewable energy has brought the up-front cost of renewable technologies down, and the long term use of green energy costs less than traditional energy sources. And green energy, of course, demonstrates that you are taking steps to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions.
By investing in green energy, an organisation enhances its brand and impresses potential clients with its green credentials. A clear green policy can also attract the best talent to work for the organisation.
Advantages of solar power for your business
- Solar panels reduce a business’s overheads by producing its own electricity. With most solar panels guaranteed for up to 25 years, businesses enjoy many years of savings.
- Solar panels are low maintenance. They have no moving parts, so usually only need to be cleaned once or twice a year and can be a the perfect renewable energy source, especially for bigger businesses that consume a lot of energy.
- Businesses that get their energy from solar panels are less vulnerable to power cuts so loss of productivity is mitigated. By storing energy on-site, businesses can also have a supply to fall back on if the main power fails.
- Companies can claim tax allowances when buying energy efficient or low carbon technology.
