We're feeling good about the service we offer and want to share! #Nationwide? We mean it.

We've been working across the country completing projects and are proud to say there's nowhere in the UK or Ireland we couldn't reach with the same high standards we off on all of our work.

Energy storage is becoming more effective and cost efficient over time - does being able to store your energy more easily make you more likely to install renewable energy sources at your place of business?

Generating electricity from fossil fuels is very inefficient.

Moving from coal to solar reduces primary energy consumption by 2/3 at the point of electricity generation.

Sometimes innovation comes in the form of 2000 tonnes of sand. Battery storage is one of many ways to help renewable sources of energy become more effective & we can provide your business with the best way to suit you. It just might not be 42 feet tall!

How important are accreditations to you or your company?

We believe they represent the standards we always aim for as a contractor - evidence that we prioritise safe, efficient, compliant practices resulting in high quality work.

What do you think?

Can commercial electrical usage be made efficient enough to lower costs? We believe so. Updating your heating, cooling & lighting, as well as implementing renewable energy sources along with battery storage, can make a significant difference. What's deterring you from upgrading your site?

Look at that upswing in Renewables! Can energy sources such as solar really overtake fossil fuel usage? We'd love to hear your thoughts on whether small changes, like having solar PV installed at your workplace, can make the difference we need to slow down climate change.

The landscape for EV charging in the UK just got a significant boost with recent legislation now permitting more effective signage for EV charging locations.

Does this change your opinion on having EV chargers installed at your site?

Are we missing the bigger picture when solar PV is argued against on agricultural land? Agrivoltaics could have a lot of potential in rural areas, bringing more benefits than we realise. What are your thoughts?

A lot of the discussion around EV charging is making sure your site is set up for cars - but what if you're looking at changing your fleet of haulage vehicles to electric?

- Have you prepared your site for charging?

- Have you thought about the charging infrastructure available to them?

An exciting battery project - based on rusting iron! - is being developed in Donegal, one of Ireland's most remote outposts.

It's a new ultra long-duration energy storage tech, and the subject of my latest column:

We've mentioned this before but now, more than a month later, what are people thinking about this investment in schools and hospitals? We're excited for a more #sustainable future with funds being spent on improving services throughout #education and #healthcare!
Happy sunny Friday, a great day to generate #solar renewable power (>20% of #UK power being generated by solar today), and hence it makes sense to generate much more for our schools and hospitals. 👇

This recent report highlights a trend: growing public approval of solar energy and solar farms, particularly due to perceived improvements in local biodiversity. This raises the question: are you optimistic about solar? What do you consider the most significant benefits it offers?

📈 ☀️ 77% support solar! Latest data reveals strong & growing public backing for solar development in the UK.

🌱 Plus, 53% see biodiversity benefits & ⚡ 43% cite low-cost energy.

Seeing those EV adoption numbers climb! 📈 It's clear the shift is happening. To keep pace with places like Norway, the UK needs to ramp up commercial EV infrastructure ASAP.

#EVCharging #CommercialEV #UKInfrastructure
Norway got there first!

But this is where the world will be in 10-15 years.

EVs are now typically cheaper to buy in China than ICE autos.
EVs are now typically cheaper to operate in many nations.

EV battery innovation is enormous.

Hey #EVdrivers! As an installer, we're curious about your thoughts on contactless charging. Even for chargers under 8kW, is it a must-have for wider EV adoption? Let's discuss!

Is solar the way of the future? Will fossil fuels continue to decline?
In a major milestone, solar generated more electricity than coal in the EU last year, according to new data from the think tank Ember.
