Renewable energy is something we should all be striving for, as individuals, businesses, and countries. Fortunately, No1PHD can help your business get set up with a commercial renewable energy system.
Renewable energy systems are undoubtedly the way forward. They’re better for the environment and cheaper in the long run. We all know we should be making the move to renewable, but the real world isn’t always that idealistic. At No1PHD, we can’t make renewable energy systems free, but we can make your adoption of those systems as painless as possible, with expert advice, professional commercial installation, and quality products. Call us today to discuss your move to renewable.
Renewable energy is a kind of energy produced using environmentally friendly methods, rather than more traditional fossil-fuel-based methods. Not only are renewable energies better for the environment; they typically do not require any input to run (such as coal, or diesel), as their source of power comes from the environment. This makes them cheaper in the long run, though it also means environmental factors play a major role in what kinds of renewable energies would work for your property. To discuss this and more with one of our experts, feel free to give us a call and we’ll cover all the bases. Now, let’s take a look at some of the main forms of renewable energy.
Usually, the first thing that comes to mind when renewable energy comes up is solar. Solar power is especially attractive in the commercial space, where large buildings with plenty of roof space are common. Solar power works by absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. Though there is a cost to have such a system installed, the only running cost you will face is to maintain the system, and keep the panels clean so that they remain efficient. Depending on your usage, solar power could greatly reduce your electricity bills, perhaps even remove them entirely. If you’re unsure about whether solar could work for your business, contact No1PHD today and talk to one of our specialists.
Solar thermal energy is similar to solar power in that it uses sunlight to achieve its goal, but rather than creating electricity, solar thermal uses that energy to create heat which is then used to heat water. The general principle is similar to an immersion heater, whereby solar collectors (usually placed on the roof of a building) absorb sunlight which heats up a transfer fluid. That fluid is then pumped through pipes that pass through a water tank, shedding heat in the process and heating up the water. The effectiveness of solar thermal would obviously vary depending on the region your organisation is located in and the amount of sunlight it receives. To discuss details like this, give us a call and we can answer your questions.
Wind power is only really practical for companies with a significant amount of land. However, in those cases, it can be a very beneficial investment. Using perhaps the most conventional of electricity generators in this article—a turbine—energy is generated when wind spins the blades of a wind turbine, which in turn spins a generator to create the electricity. Wind turbines may require additional approvals, such as seeking consent from neighbouring residential areas. It’s also worth considering the amount of wind you generally receive when weighing up how cost-effective it would be. At No1PHD we’d be happy to talk to you about the potential implications—and benefits—of commercial wind energy.
There is the warm and fuzzy feeling that you are helping the environment, of course. Not to mention the good PR that comes with such an act. There are also long term financial benefits. In addition to being cheaper in the long run over traditional power through the grid, the less reliant you are on those ways of getting electricity, the less susceptible your organisation will be to things like power cuts, and price hikes.
While the benefits are clear to see, the road from traditional energy to renewable energy can be a bit overwhelming. That’s why No1PHD are here, to walk you through the process with our team of friendly experts and trained professionals. Don’t let the fear of new and different stop you from bringing your organisation into the future, call No1PHD today on 08006906777!
