What is renewable energy and why is it important for your business?
Renewable energy is commonly known as clean energy as it comes from natural resources that are replenished such as sunlight, wind, and water.
Renewable energy can save your business money by reducing your energy overhead, it is better for the environment as your business reduces carbon output, and creates a green business image for your customers. Consumers are becoming more aware of the impacts they are having on our environment they are making a conscious decision to choose companies with sustainable processes in place.
Technologies available to businesses
Solar for business
If your business has adequate rooftop space or relevant ground space, then installing solar pv panels can reduce your electricity bills and boost your green credentials. Solar panels work off energy taken from sunlight and convert it to electricity. Solar energy installations have become increasingly attractive to businesses over the last number of years, as various incentives have been introduced such as government funding.

Wind energy for my business
If your business has land and you look like to take advantage of the industry’s most recognizable product, then you might wish to consider wind turbine installation. Wind Energy generation is not suited to urban areas mainly due to the reduced airflow that would be needed to operate a turbine. Despite being the most expensive technology to install, wind energy can produce a significant return on investment for your business.

Heat Pumps for my business
Heat pumps work by drawing heat energy from the surrounding environment such as air, water and land. Heat pumps produce regulated heat which keeps your building warm. Heat pumps are an ideal way to heat your business, however, please ensure that all the latest insulation and energy savings measures are in place in order to receive the most benefit. Killarney-based company Tricel has benefited from the installation of 3 heat pumps on site, read more.
Biomass Heating for my business
Biomass boilers operate off natural organic resources from either directly from plants or indirectly from industrial or commercial waste products.
