How to combat the rising costs of energy

William Lancaster of Ember Energy

The news of yet another hike in energy prices is unlikely to have shocked anyone, but that doesn’t make it any easier for businesses across Lancashire.

As bills continue to rise, finding practical ways to cut costs becomes more important than ever.

One proven solution is investing in solar panels and battery storage.

Solar panels allow you to generate your own electricity, reducing reliance on increasingly expensive grid power.

Pairing solar with battery storage takes the savings further by storing surplus energy produced during the day for use at peak times when electricity costs are highest.

This approach doesn’t just ease financial pressures, it’s also a step towards energy independence and sustainability – two factors likely to enhance your business reputation among eco-conscious customers and partners.

Now is an ideal time to make the switch.

Advances in solar technology have made it more affordable and efficient than ever, and government incentives can help offset initial costs.

Today’s battery systems come with warranties of up to 10,000 cycles, so you can count on their reliability.

Plus, with lithium prices having dropped by more than 60 per cent, these systems are now more affordable than ever.

Businesses that act now stand to gain long-term savings while insulating themselves against future energy price volatility.

Ember Energy Lancashire specialises in helping businesses reap the benefits of renewable energy.
