One of the leading concerns amongst environmentalists around the world is the CO2 emissions coming from the industrial and factories sector. With newer emissions control on vehicles within the past couple of decades, automobiles are less responsible for those toxic gases than are industries. Although there isn’t much New Energy Futures can do about the random industry that releases gases as part of the manufacturing process, we can certainly help you to use less electricity manufactured with fossil fuels!
Solar Electricity for Industrial Buildings
Not only does solar electricity provide cleaner, renewable power for your business, but it is much more cost effective in the long run, specifically because it is just that – renewable. The sun is a never ending source of power that can be harnessed day in and day out so why not take advantage of it? Operating expenses are high enough without adding an unnecessarily high electric bill into the mix. It doesn’t matter how many quotes you get from competing electric suppliers in your community, nothing can match free solar power that pours down on your building rain or shine.
A solar installation can provide much of the electricity you will use in your day to day operations, and the remainder which needs to be purchased can often be bought at a significantly lower price. There are a number of grants available to help offset the cost of the initial installation by paying tariffs in three main ways:
• Get paid for electricity you produce and use
• Get paid for excess you feed into the grid
• Get cheaper rates from your energy supplier
Of course you probably won’t have much, if any, to feed back into the national grid on days when your industry is at work, but on weekends and holidays that power can be fed back for a profit which is paid to you directly from your supplier.
In order to qualify for the Feed in Tariff you will need to understand that any equipment you purchase to be installed must be MCS (Microgeneration Certifications Scheme) certified and the installers must also be MCS accredited. New Energy Futures (NEF) has more than 50 MCS certified installers on staff to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have in regards to the Feed in Tariff or other available government grants.
One of the most common concerns in the industrial and factories sector is where solar panels would be installed. If there isn’t sufficient roof space for an installation big enough to provide for your energy needs, there are a number of standalone options for a ground mount which can be considered as well. This is something which can be determined when an NEF installer visits you onsite for an initial assessment.
Keep in mind that each and every installer is MCS certified which means that you can discuss your concerns in regards to qualifying for government grants to offset the cost of a solar installation as well as to ask about which system or systems would best provide for the amount of electricity you need to generate. In order to get started you only need to make a quick phone call to set up a free onsite no obligation consultation with a New Energy Futures installer. The number to call is 0844 774 1407 and a representative will be happy to set up a time that is convenient for you.
