Why should a commercial business prioritise reducing its carbon footprint now?
Reducing carbon emissions is increasingly tied to regulatory compliance, investor expectations, stakeholder pressures, and supply-chain demands. In the UK, businesses that “walk the talk” on sustainability can gain competitive advantage, avoid future carbon penalties or levies, and attract green investment or contracts.
What services does EvoEnergy offer to help reduce a company’s carbon footprint?
We provide end-to-end support, including net zero consultancy, carbon reporting, design and deployment of renewable energy technologies (solar, battery storage, EV charging, smart grid systems, etc.), and operations & maintenance (O&M) services to ensure your systems perform optimally over time.
How is carbon reporting handled for a completed renewable energy installation?
After installation, we deliver detailed carbon reports, showing embodied carbon (i.e. emissions from materials, manufacture, construction) and ongoing operational carbon savings. Our O&M clients continually receive bespoke reporting based on site performance and usage data.
What is embodied carbon and why does it matter in a renewable energy project?
Embodied carbon is the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing, transporting, assembling, and installing system components (e.g. panels, supports, inverters). Minimising these emissions is key to ensuring the net carbon benefit of the project is maximised over its lifetime.
What costs are involved in reducing a company’s carbon footprint using renewable technologies?
Costs vary by technology, system size, site conditions, grid connection, and carbon reporting complexity. In addition to capital investment in renewables, there may be consultancy, engineering, integration, and maintenance costs. EvoEnergy aims to offer competitive pricing and low-carbon footprints in all proposals.
How long does it take for carbon reduction projects to become effective?
The timeline depends on the scale and complexity of the solutions. For many projects, the design, permitting, and procurement phase can take several months, while construction may take weeks. Carbon benefits begin accruing once systems are operational and continue over the lifetime of the installation.
What maintenance is required to ensure ongoing carbon savings?
To maintain performance, systems require regular inspections, cleaning, software updates, inverter servicing, and monitoring. Good O&M ensures that expected energy yields (and, hence, carbon reductions) are sustained over the years.
What tools can businesses use to estimate their carbon savings before committing?
EvoEnergy provides a Solar PV carbon offset calculator tool. By inputting roof size (or other parameters), you can get estimates of system size, anticipated energy output, cost savings, and projected carbon reduction.
Can EvoEnergy help with existing renewable installations to improve carbon performance?
Yes, we support optimising or upgrading existing assets, integrating additional technologies, retrofitting, and providing further carbon reporting so that your carbon footprint trajectory continues improving.
How does EvoEnergy stay aligned with UK carbon and energy regulations and targets?
Our consultancy and project teams stay current with UK and EU legislation, carbon targets, subsidies, and energy market changes. We design solutions that help clients satisfy regulatory requirements, reporting obligations, and align with national net zero goals.
