Solar PV FAQs
What is Solar PV?
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is a renewable technology that harvests daylight to generate clean, free electricity. This helps businesses to reduce their reliance on the grid and improve their green credentials whilst saving money on their energy spend.
What are the benefits of Commercial Solar PV?
- Vastly reduce your business’ carbon footprint
- Protect your business from rising grid costs
- Save significant amounts on your energy spend
- Insure your business is reacting its CSR goals
Where is Solar PV Used?
Solar PV can be installed in a multitude of applications. Any site can benefit from an installation, whether installed on your roof, ground mount or a range of other installations. We can install across a range of industries and sectors.
What Are The Main Elements Of A Commercial Solar PV Installation?
A Commercial Solar PV installation is comprised primarily of solar panel modules and inverters. The panels capture sunlight and the inverters convert it into usable energy for your business.
LED Lighting FAQs
Are LED Lights Better?
LED Lighting better compared to traditional light fittings. They require less power to run, the fittings are complete units meaning no maintenance or bulb changes and they provide a better quality of light. LED also has no harmful chemicals, making them safe for most applications.
Do LED Lights Really Save Money?
Because LED requires much less power to provide the same output as traditional lighting, you will use less energy to light your working environment therefore saving you money on your energy bills.
What Are The Advantages Of LED Lighting?
- Reduced energy consumption by 50% – 90%, reducing bills and CO2 emissions/taxes
- Contains no hazardous materials such as mercury
- Does not require maintenance or bulb changes
- LED Lighting provides good quality of light with low glare ratings and no flicker
- Standard life output of 50,000+ hours of use
- LED Lighting turns on and off instantly – no warm up period required
- Perfecterfect for sensors and dimming options
Are LED Lights Bad For Your Eyes?
LED Lighting is actually better than the standard light fitting as they have a lower flicker rate, better colour temperature and less glare. LED provides a significant improvement in light levels and quality, and has also been linked to improvements in productivity and focus.
EV Charging FAQs
Is EV Charging Free?
Although a number of EV charge points are free to use, the majority of fast and rapid chargers require payment. Charging tariffs tend to comprise a cost per energy consumed (pence per kWh), though a price per charging time (pence per hour) may be found, or a set fee for a charging session.
What does EV Charging mean?
An electric vehicle charging station is also called an EV charging station, electric recharging point, charging point, charge point, electronic charging station (ECS), and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). This is an element of an infrastructure that supplies electric energy for the recharging of plug-in electric car.
Can I Charge An Electric Car At Home?
You can charge an electric car at home using a dedicated home charging point (a standard 3-pin plug with an EVSE cable should only be used as a last resort).
Far Infrared Heating FAQs
How Does Far Infrared Heat Work?
Far Infrared used radiant heat (the same feeling as a coal fire) to heat objects rather than the air. The objects radiate the heat back, keeping the environment warm around you.
Do Infrared Heaters Use A Lot Of Power?
Far Infrared Heating is an energy efficient alternative to traditional heat sources. When compared to other electrical heating types, such as fan heaters, Far Infrared is more efficient due to its radiant heat. This means people, objects and fabric of the building is heated, and no heat is wasted in the air. This makes you feel warmer for longer and turns other objects and surfaces into radiators.
The energy savings are also presented when compared to traditional gas heating.
What Are The Advantages Of Infrared Heaters?
- No dust particles floating around caused by a fan heater
- Will heat a space at less than a third of the coast of a fan heater
- Heats people and objects which radiate the heat back and keeps the environment warm around you
Do Infrared Heating Panels Get Hot?
The panels will be hot to the touch however, you will not burn from brushing against the panel surface. The panels should never reach temperatures of 100 ˚C or above.
