While those yet to set their ambition are at risk of being left behind, the majority are facing up to the significant task of neutralising their greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the challenge lies in fulfilling ESG commitments while operating costs are at an all-time high. Where to begin? How to slash emissions without creating added risk for your organisation and its balance book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has flipped the script, creating an opportunity to boost your business resilience, slash operating costs and even open new revenue streams while moving towards Net Zero. Solar-equipped businesses deliver real emission reductions through clean, local energy generation, bolstering their reputation as champions of sustainability. Among all the carbon-cutting initiatives on offer, solar PV is difficult to beat when it comes to speed, integration, payback time and transparency, as well the co-benefits it delivers for the long-term health of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"why-invest-in-solar-panels-for-your-business\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why invest in solar panels for your business?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solar PV is the best option to support your existing operations<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Net Zero is a revolution, but you don\u2019t need to rebuild your business model to reap the benefits. In fact, solar is ready to supercharge your existing practices rather than complicate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photovoltaic panel arrays are perfectly suited to the spaces that most businesses leave idle, and will turn your empty rooftops, car ports or other \u2018dead zones\u2019 into engines for growth. Another myth is that solar PV will increase your maintenance costs, but the opposite is true: not only will they increase your commercial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbre.com\/insights\/reports\/the-impact-of-on-site-rooftop-solar-pv-on-logistics-property-values\">property values<\/a>, but solar panels protect roofs from weathering, extending their life while needing minimal attention themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is--inner-block\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bridec_20240523-0353-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bridec_20240523-0353-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bridec_20240523-0353-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bridec_20240523-0353-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bridec_20240523-0353.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\">Every business needs energy to operate. Instead of relying on the grid for all your power and living at the mercy of volatile energy prices or global events, on-site solar allows you to generate your own, free electricity. Peak solar generation times match up with operational schedules for most commercial and industrial activities, helping you slash energy bills without changing a thing on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On-site solar also offers resiliency in case of disruption, protecting your critical processes and ensuring continuity during outages. Combine it with a battery energy storage system (BESS) and you can deliver further robustness, store power to meet surges in demand, or even sell excess power back to the grid at the most profitable times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-brand-yellow-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 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<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is--inner-block\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1138\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Scarborough_20241202-3076-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Scarborough_20241202-3076-edited.jpg 1138w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Scarborough_20241202-3076-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Scarborough_20241202-3076-edited-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Scarborough_20241202-3076-edited-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1138px) 100vw, 1138px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\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 wp-block-paragraph\">Good Energy Solar installed solar arrays at SEA LIFE Scarborough and Great Yarmouth in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-body-l is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SEA LIFE Aquariums<\/strong> now save <strong>31 tonnes of carbon emissions<\/strong> each year. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex is--inner-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is--inner-block\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/solar-case-studies\/sea-life-aquariums\/\">Read case study<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solar PV is fast, flexible and affordable<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\">\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\">The day your solar panels switch on is the day your scope 1 and 2 emissions drop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\">The capital investments required for solar are lower than ever, while payback times are now just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/insights\/commercial-solar-panels\/\">four years on average<\/a>. With the typical lifespan of a PV panel standing at 25+ years, you\u2019re looking at an exceptional return on investment and decades of free electricity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\">As for meeting ESG targets, the decarbonisation effect is instant. The day your solar panels switch on is the day your Scope 1 and 2 emissions drop. Not only that, but you\u2019ll be able to predict (and showcase) exactly how much accumulated emissions will be avoided over the years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That day is close at hand, too. Planning and approval for solar arrays is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/insights\/why-should-businesses-install-solar-panels\/\">fast and straightforward<\/a>, while installation itself is rapid and presents minimal disruption to your day-to-day activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solar PV is a solution for businesses of every size. Whether you have a single facility or a thousand, solar solutions are infinitely scalable. They\u2019re modular, too, allowing you to add or upgrade your infrastructure over time, in whatever way best suits your strategy and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Net zero tomorrow: reputational and sustainable benefits today<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you become a solar-equipped business, you\u2019re creating something. This is additionality: rather than just paying to put your name on someone else\u2019s good work, you\u2019re adding new renewable generation capacity to the world. On-site solar is a direct action that demonstrates your awareness of, and accountability for, the impact you have on the planet. This will not go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\">Solar is particularly good for your reputation. It\u2019s a highly visible symbol of your commitment to sustainability, whether it\u2019s seen by employees looking up each day or the customers and stakeholders you communicate with. It\u2019s also the perfect foundation on which to build your sustainable future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\">Solar infrastructure shrinks the cost and risk of larger undertakings \u2013 like fleet electrification \u2013 by supplying cheap and reliable renewable energy, bringing them into the realm of possibility much sooner. By making solar your first step to Net Zero, you\u2019re making the second and third steps easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is--inner-block\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is--inner-block\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/lee-searle-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"EV for business\" class=\"wp-image-790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/lee-searle-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/lee-searle-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/lee-searle-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/lee-searle-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/lee-searle-4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/lee-searle-4-1500x1000.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find out for free if solar PV is right for your business<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reducing your impact on the planet doesn\u2019t have to come at a cost to business.
