🚨 Important Breaking News from the World of Solar Energy 🚨

Earlier this week, it was great news for the UK's renewable energy sector with the UK government announcing tax relief on battery storage systems - a significant step towards promoting sustainable energy solutions.

This move aims to encourage the adoption of battery storage, contributing to a more resilient and eco-friendly energy infrastructure.

Businesses and homeowners investing in these systems will now enjoy financial incentives, fostering a greener future for us all.

If you're considering solar panels for your home or business in 2024, please visit our website www.sgs-energy.co.uk.

👏 The team recently finished the installation of a solar power system at Pilgrims Hospices in Margate.

Earlier this year, we also had the pleasure of installing a similar system at their sister property in Ashford, Kent and we're proud to continue to work with such an established local charity.

As part of our work in the local community, we also donated £500.00 to Pilgrims Hospices to celebrate reaching 500 followers on LinkedIn.

Last week, chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced the Autumn Statement and here are the key takeaways with regards to renewable energy.

☀️ There will be an exemption on the 45% windfall tax imposed on renewable projects via the Electricity Generator Levy (EGL) on extraordinary returns.

☀️ Plans have been made to allow developers to pay local authorities for faster planning decisions from next year

SGS Energy is proud to have been a sponsor and supporter of this year’s Green School Awards from Social Enterprise Kent

Yesterday, Jonny had the privilege of attending the finals at Ashford International Hotel & Spa and played a part in helping to crown the winners of this year’s competition.

Congratulations to everyone that took part as well as all winners and to Social Enterprise Kent for hosting a fantastic event.

Yesterday we gave a very brief introduction into how you can calculate how many solar panels you will need for your installation.

Now, we’re going to show you how to work our your electricity consumption and to do this, you’ll need to use the following equation:

Daily usage (kWh) = Total usage (kWh) / billing cycle (days)

You can find your electricity consumption on your latest energy bill. For example, if your home uses 1300 kWh over a 30 day billing period, your daily total would be 43.33 kilowatt-hours (kWh).

To speak to our team about installing solar panels in your home in commercial property, visit www.sgs-energy.co.uk.

When you decide to consider installing solar panels on your roof, one of the key questions that needs answering is how many solar panels do I need?

✔️ Work out your daily electricity consumption
✔️ Consider the amount of sunlight your location receives

From this data, we can give you a pretty accurate idea as to what solar panels you’ll need as well as how many.

According to a new policy brief released by Oxford's Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, Britain could be solely powered by solar and wind power.

In the brief it was suggested that the two technologies could produce nearly ten times Britain’s current electricity demand and well over the highest energy demand forecast for Britain in 2050.

What's your thoughts on this and do you think the UK is ready to go fully renewable?

How about this for a bit of Monday Motivation from our customers Tim and Miranda 💪
