This included switching to 100% renewable electricity in 2020 and investing in a Gold Standard carbon offsetting project which is bringing biogas technologies to rural communities in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide\">Wanting to do more and favouring a trusted local installer, they appointed Good Energy Solar to install their solar panel system in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>The Solution: <\/strong>an optimised solar array, with payback in only 7 years<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide\">Good Energy Solar designed a bespoke solar solution for bigHead. The system comprises of 109 450W solar panels, 56 SolarEdge optimisers, and 2 SolarEdge inverters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide\">We expect them to get return on investment in just over 7 years; and save \u00a38,000 a year on their energy costs each year, which is over 50% of their bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide\">bigHead also benefit from Good Energy\u2019s multi-product offering. As an energy supply customer as well as a solar install customer, they receive an exclusive higher rate for their exported power and REGOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide\"><em>\u201cWe\u2019ve now had our solar panels for over a year and we\u2019re really pleased we went for them. They have cut the amount of energy we draw from the grid by around 50% and performed much better in the winter than we expected, continuing to make a big dent in our bills.\u201d<\/em> <strong>David White, Operations Manager for bigHead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide has-brand-yellow-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\">\n<p class=\"is-style-body-l is--inner-block\"><em>\u201cWe are&nbsp;extremely impressed by the expertise and commitment both to sustainability and to great service displayed by the installation team.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-body-l is--inner-block\">&#8220;<em>Installing solar is easy.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;good for business and&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;good for the planet.
