The transition to renewable energy is no longer just an environmental choice; it's a strategic business decision. In Northern Ireland, businesses face rising energy costs, regulatory pressures and the need to demonstrate sustainability credentials. At Encom, we specialise in helping businesses of all sizes harness the power of solar energy, offering tailored solutions that lower costs and carbon footprints.
Rising Energy Costs and Stability
Energy prices across the UK and Ireland have been volatile, putting pressure on business margins. Installing a commercial solar PV system can protect your business from rising costs by generating free, renewable electricity. With Encom Energy, businesses like Hannon Transport have achieved a return on investment in just three years, saving over £24,000 annually on electricity.
Sustainability Goals
Governments and consumers are increasingly prioritising sustainability. Northern Ireland businesses that adopt solar energy demonstrate their commitment to reducing carbon emissions, making them more attractive to customers and partners. For example, our client The Halfway House reduced its carbon footprint by over 8,900 kg annually.
Energy Independence
Solar panels, coupled with battery storage, allow businesses to generate and store their electricity, reducing reliance on the grid. This not only saves money but also ensures resilience during power outages. At Ronan Valley, our dual system saved the business £25,000 annually, with a return on investment in just six years.
At Encom Energy, we understand that no two businesses are the same. From small cafes to large logistics firms, we design, supply, and install systems that meet your specific needs. Our team will work with you from the planning stages to create a bespoke energy solution, ensuring seamless integration into your operations.
