Upgraded Solar at Our Headquarters Office in Exeter

Last week, we were delighted to upgrade the solar PV system at our Exeter headquarters to an impressive 30kW.

This upgrade marks another step in our commitment to renewable energy, helping us generate even more clean electricity while reducing our carbon footprint.

1. Reduce Our Energy Bills

Generate your own electricity on-site and significantly reduce your reliance on the grid. As most businesses consume the majority of their energy during daylight hours, solar can offset a large proportion of your electricity usage, helping to lower monthly energy costs.

2. Increase Property Value

   Commercial properties equipped with solar installations are often more attractive to buyers and tenants thanks to lower running costs and improved energy efficiency.

3. Low Maintenance, Long-Term Performance

Solar PV systems require very little maintenance. With no moving parts, they are highly reliable and typically need only occasional cleaning and routine inspections to maintain peak performance.

4. Strong Return on Investment

Commercial solar systems typically deliver an excellent return on investment, with many businesses recovering their installation costs within 4–8 years. With solar panels designed to last 25 years or more, your business can continue benefiting from decades of low-cost electricity.

5. Power Our Electrics & Hybrids

Solar panels generate electricity throughout the day, which can be used to power your home or business. Any surplus electricity can be diverted to your EV charger, allowing your vehicle to charge directly from solar energy instead of drawing power from the grid.

Many modern smart EV chargers can automatically prioritise solar generation, adjusting the charging rate based on how much surplus energy your system is producing.
