Buy your future

The most succinct benefit of installing & operating a PV plant is having a Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) over many years. This means that business owners, particularly those with large, consistent demands can fix a low price per kWh against a proportion of their future energy demand.

Long term weather data and proven, well engineered systems allow energy yield to be accurately forecast in the consultancy and design phase of a project.

An evolving industry

Falling costs

Traditionally the largest fixed cost within a PV plant, the cost of buying Solar PV modules has fallen by 90% in the past decade, meaning greater access for those looking to invest. During the same period panel efficiency has increased by around 50%, meaning greater power density for the same area.  

Rising demands

Our World is becoming more electrified than ever, particularly in areas such as transport. McKinsey forecast that electricity use will more than double globally by 2050, further emphasising the need for local sources of generation. For businesses this means planning for a future where electricity is the main power source.

Changing attitudes

Implementing Solar PV represents a commitment on many levels, from Carbon Reduction to Energy Independence. Most companies see an opportunity to demonstrate a social responsibility to their clients, supply chain & employees.

Challenges ahead

Gaining an electricity connection or increasing capacity cannot be taken for granted. Business owners are faced with high connection costs or forced onto high cost/high CO2 options such as diesel generation. Alternatively, containerised battery systems combined with PV generation can provide a cost effective alternative.

Even in the UK?

Absolutely. Northern Europe is and has for a long time been a perfectly viable place to generate impactful yields of electricity. Herd Energy can provide accurate models of how this will look year round, book a consultation and chat with us frankly about generation.
