Nature Tech: a nascent ecosystem

  If you are watching the rooftop solar revolution taking place in the UK and feeling locked out due to leasing or renting your building — SNRG holds the key.  The UK government has a clear target to ambitiously cut greenhouse emissions by 68% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. As the deadline approaches, statistics dictate they will only achieve 92% of the 2030 target. The best way to bridge this gap is through the “rooftop revolution.”  The UK government is mobilising a Taskforce to pinpoint areas of improvement and lead the charge on using the rooftops available. Everything from carparks to warehouses can and should be used for renewable energy. Leading the Taskforce is Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero  Graham Stuart . He believes, “Households across the UK are already doing their bit to provide cleaner, cheaper, and more secure energy sources with the solar panels on their roofs – but with acres of rooftop space on car parks and supermarkets in every community, we can be

  This article will examine the five top reasons why now is the time to retrofit a commercial building with solar panels, and what your company risks by waiting longer. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RETROFITTING A COMMERCIAL BUILDING WITH SOLAR? Retrofitting means adding, typically, solar or renewable technology, to an existing building. The critical importance of retrofitting industrial and commercial buildings is increasing as the UK adapts to green technology and gets in line to meet net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Retrofitting solar  panels involves installing solar panels onto existing buildings instead of incorporating them into building designs from scratch. Solar panels collect and convert sunlight into electricity, which can be used to power homes, offices, and other buildings. The installation process typically involves adding solar panels to the roof and connecting them to an inverter that converts the DC energy produced by the panels to AC energy for use in the building. Retr

  Retrofitting solar panels   is an excellent way for any industrial or commercial business to reduce its energy bills, contribute towards its ESG strategy and lower its property’s greenhouse gas emissions.   SNRG   helps businesses realise the numerous benefits that the retrofitting option brings, internally and alongside an external ESG strategy. Read on and discover how retrofitting solar panels can help reduce carbon emissions, reduce monthly business energy costs, and be a tool for industrial and commercial spaces to intersect with a profitable green future. THE URGENCY IN RETROFITTING: WHAT ARE CARBON EMISSIONS? Industrial and commercial properties contribute significantly to global climate change through carbon emissions, also known as carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. Specifically in the energy and transportation sectors, there is still a toxic preference for outdated fossil fuels, versus new green technology. The damage we are causing to the planet is quickly becoming irreversi

  The SNRG SmartGrid is a revolutionary renewable energy system for both residential and industrial & commercial developments, new and existing. It meets the requirements of environmental legislation, offers solutions to common obstacles in decarbonising, and presents exciting opportunities to developers and, indeed, the nation, in transitioning to an all-electric infrastructure. If that sounds like a bold statement, consider the benefits of this cutting-edge place-based energy system, and the solutions it offers to frustrating obstacles. The SNRG SmartGrid: Removes upfront costs for developers, being fully-funded by SNRG Reduces energy bills to end users by up to 30% Increases long-term energy security and reliability Cuts greenhouse gas emissions through the use of renewable energy Overcomes grid restrictions, reducing the cost and timeline for a new grid connection Allows long-term solar on short-lease buildings Accelerates the all-electric transition Empowers a UK and energy st

  Charging your electric vehicle at home is far cheaper if your property is on a   SNRG SmartGrid . For SmartGrid residents who don’t have EV chargers attached to their homes, for example those who live in flats and charge in allocated bays, the savings are even more impressive. For these people, the average UK national EV charging cost is 92% more expensive than the SNRG SmartGrid rate (Cost to charge per kWh: SNRG 25.5p, UK average 49p. Source: Zapmap Price index, June 2023). The SNRG SmartGrid  is a place-based power system where all buildings in a development get their electricity via communal solar panels and battery storage, smartly optimised to reduce energy bills. SNRG  operates the local grid, and adds the EV charge session to the home energy bill at a low home tariff rate. Only SNRG can do this in the UK. Traditional EV billing is complex, there are fees paid to the charge point operator, and VAT is charged at 20%. The unique SNRG approach sees EV charging included in the ele
