What renewable technologies can help with net zero?
Technologies include solar photovoltaics (PV), battery storage, electric vehicle (EV) charging, smart grid systems, and measures like optimised inverters. These all help reduce reliance on grid electricity from non-renewable sources and increase your self-generated clean energy.
How does ongoing maintenance / aftercare support net zero goals?
Maintenance, monitoring, and operations & maintenance (O&M) ensure your system continues to generate energy efficiently over time. By keeping systems in peak condition and ensuring performance matches expectations, you protect the carbon savings you depend on.
What compliance or reporting is involved in net zero?
Businesses often need to measure and report their carbon emissions, ensure their energy systems meet relevant regulations, and sometimes adhere to standards or certifications (like carbon footprint verification). EvoEnergy works with companies to support this process.
Can net zero reduce operational costs?
Yes. Generating your own renewable energy, reducing waste, using efficient technologies all lower energy bills. Over time, savings on energy costs can be substantial and help offset upfront investments.
How does EvoEnergy help businesses reach net zero?
EvoEnergy can assist with consulting, designing, installing, and maintaining renewable energy systems, handling O&M, enabling solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, and helping with reporting, monitoring, and performance to ensure your net zero journey is measurable and reliable.
What tools are available to estimate my net zero potential?
EvoEnergy provides tools such as a Solar PV Carbon Offset Calculator which lets you input your roof size to estimate energy output, savings, and carbon offset potential. It’s a useful starting point.
What are the challenges in going net zero, and how can I overcome them?
Some common challenges are upfront cost, integrating new technology, regulatory or planning hurdles, and ensuring ongoing performance. Overcoming them involves choosing experienced partners, using reliable data and monitoring, looking for funding incentives, and planning for lifecycle support (maintenance, upgrades, etc.). EvoEnergy aims to support in all these areas.
