Solar panels are a great way to generate clean, renewable energy. They convert sunlight into electricity, helping to reduce both energy costs and environmental impact. Here’s a simple guide to understanding solar panels, how they work, and their benefits.
In May 2023, the UK government started the 'Solar Taskforce' to increase solar power use in commercial areas. Over a million UK homes already have solar panels, and there's great potential for commercial and industrial buildings.
By January 2024, solar panel installations went up by 6%, reaching 1,454,607. More homes and businesses are switching to solar energy.
How Solar Panels Work
The sun gives off light
PV cells on the panels turn the light into DC electricity.
The current flows into an inverter, which converts it to AC electricity ready to use.
The current is fed through a meter and then into your home’s consumer unit.
Plug in and switch on. Your system will automatically use the free electricity you’ve generated, then switch back to the grid as needed.
Here are the top reasons your business should consider solar panels:
Better Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Solar panels show your company cares about the environment, which can improve your reputation and appeal to customers, employees, and stakeholders.
Happier Employees
Using solar energy shows you value sustainability. Employees who care about the environment will feel proud to work for your company, helping you attract and keep top talent.
Stronger Business Resilience
Solar panels reduce your reliance on the National Grid and help manage rising energy costs. They also prepare your business for new environmental regulations.
Marketing and Branding
Going solar sends a strong eco-friendly message. This can improve your marketing and attract customers and investors who care about the environment.
Advanced Technology
2024 is a good time to invest in solar panels because they are now more efficient and durable. Smart technology helps monitor and manage energy use.
Use of Unused Space
Solar panels can turn unused areas like rooftops and car parks into energy sources, making better use of your property.
Positive Environmental Impact
Switching to solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, improving public health and the environment.
