RENEWABLE ENERGY AND COMMERCIAL BUSINESS
Commercial businesses face an exceptional challenge to enhance the way they operate to reduce cost and streamline their operations to ensure business continues as usual. For some this may seem like a dead end or quite an admin heavy task. Fortunately, there are several solutions that will help your business save money, here are our top 4 steps to consider that can aid you in becoming more energy efficient and less reliant on the power grid. Once you have had a read, head across to our procurement page to find out more about each solution.
STEP 1 –
feasibility
There are various methods for a business to reduce costs and in-turn be considerably more energy efficient, work with a supplier who would walk you through the various solutions available to you and determine which is best. Sometimes solar is not the only option, consider battery storage if you are on a split energy tariff or if your operation utilises a considerable amount of power maybe wind turbines are the best solution for your business.
STEP 2 –
renewable strategy
Some businesses install solar or battery storage in stages, often costing a considerable amount more than designing and installing a solution in one. Consider the cost adjustments when determining how you want to install your renewable measures as the cost of material fluctuates in our sector quite drastically. Also consider finance options if you prefer an all in one solution as this could save you cost and reduce your CAPEX for the project.
STEP 3 –
design and installation
A good renewable project team will provide you with a full design of the project they will be installing along with the data sheets and warranty documents of the products they wish to install.
A design should consist of a detailed drawing or plan of the installaiton and the single line diagram for the project, an analysis of grid availability in the area should also be conducted prior to installation commencing to ensure that the business has capacity for the renewable measure. Communication is vital, ensure your contractors are working with you closely during this time.
STEP 4 –
additional measures
We start each project assessing the Voltage of all machinery in the building or premises. We do this when we are at the initial stages of design and implementation. Voltage optimisation can reduce energy costs by upto 20% and is a cost effective method to reduce costs immediately. Find out how by contacting a member of the team.
