10 Reasons Why Solar Makes Sense

In 2014 the solar power market almost doubled in size, and analysis has shown that solar is the most popular form of energy generation.

With new ESOS legislation requiring all large enterprises to review their energy usage by 5th December 2015, Manchester based Visolaris, one of the UK’s leading renewable energy companies is encouraging businesses to consider using roof space and existing land assets for solar and wind installations. With zero cost implication it’s not only an effective energy saving option it also meets the new government requirements.

Apart from the obvious financial benefits there are lots of other reasons why as a business going solar makes sense.

1. Solar is a proven technology, comes with standards and protections that other technologies don’t including exceptional warranties that last for decades.
2. A tangible asset. From looking at past electricity usage Visolaris can calculate savings, specifically down to pennies and pounds.
3. Environmentally Friendly. It’s a given that the saving in energy bills will reduce carbon footprint and have a positive effect on the environment.
4. Scalability. The amount of scalability in the UK on commercial properties for Solar installation is huge, it has not been as diluted as the domestic market.
5. Easy to maintain. Solar PV requires minimum maintenance and they should last for 25 years or more.*
6. It’s clean. Traditional power plants can create pollution. Solar energy systems don’t create pollution in the process of turning solar energy into usable electricity.
7. Safety first. Full roof and landscape assessments undertaken to ensure total compliance. The systems Visolaris install are safe and designed to meet rigorous safety standards.
8. It’s simple. Going solar is really easy. Planning permission is no-longer required on non-domestic buildings**, Visolaris handles the transition to solar power and are on hand to answer any questions and discuss any concerns.
9. Professional advice. All Visolaris installations come with Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accreditation, an internationally recognised quality assurance scheme, supported by the Department of Energy and Climate Change. There’s a team of professionals to advise every step of the way making the transition for a business a simple one.
10. It’s free. Visolaris provide free solar and wind installations that deliver actual savings and returns to commercial clients.
