Solar
Solar energy is a renewable technology which we can offer as part of a diverse energy solution package or retrofit onto existing buildings to generate electricity (Solar PV) and/or heat (Solar Thermal).
What is solar energy?
Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) captures the energy in sunlight using photovoltaic cells, which convert light to electrical energy.
The technology is dependent on light intensity, not heat or direct sunlight, meaning it continues to generate electricity even on overcast days and in winter. This makes it one of the most effective and widely used sources of renewable energy.
We have successfully installed solar arrays as part of projects for the NDEE and Re:fit frameworks, generating clean electricity for our clients and saving carbon in the process.
Key benefits of solar energy
Environmental
Each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity produced can save approximately 0.23kg of CO₂ emissions compared to electricity imported from the national grid.
Solar Thermal is a low-carbon method of producing domestic hot water providing environmental benefits through reduced carbon emissions.
