Carbon now comes with a cost. The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) — coming into force in 2026, with the UK following in 2027 — charges for emissions embedded in imports of high-carbon goods like steel, cement and aluminium.

In this blog, we discuss the Carbon Conversion Factor on reducing carbon footprint with solar.

In this blog, we explore the key differences between Capex Investments and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).

As warehouse landlords in the UK look to enhance energy efficiency and meet regulatory standards like the installing solar energy systems has become a compelling option.

The installation of rooftop solar PV panels on commercial properties has surged in the past decade, offering a sustainable way to boost property value while cutting carbon emissions and energy costs for landlords and tenants.

In an era of rising energy costs and increasing environmental awareness, businesses are constantly seeking ways to reduce expenses and enhance their sustainability efforts.

In recent years, the UK government has taken significant steps to achieve its net zero ambitions by introducing legislation to reduce the country’s carbon emissions.

For many commercial property owners, the potential to harness solar energy has been limited by the structural constraints of their buildings.

For UK producer Barfoots, environmental stewardship is a business priority, demonstrated by its new solar energy system at two West Sussex sites.
