With the promise of energy-bill savings, reduced reliance on the grid and a step towards sustainability, most business owners are enthusiastic about the idea of going solar.
That is, until they see the price tag.
This year’s Solar & Storage Live was extra special as we unveiled all the details of our new PPA partnership with Zestec.
In between chatting all things PPA, we had fantastic conversations with installers and industry leaders about emerging trends, technologies and tactics for success.
Leading specialist funders and developers of commercial decarbonisation technologies, Zestec Renewable Energy and Smart Ease, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the delivery of fully funded solar PV systems for UK businesses.
In 2023, women accounted for 38% of the workforce in the renewable energy industry, but only 13% held senior roles.
Provisional data from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) shows that 1.2 GW of solar was installed in 2024, the fifth-largest volume on record – but a decline from the 1.4 GW installed in 2023.
Being responsive, empathetic and solution-oriented are qualities we at Smart Ease take great pride in. These traits are often highlighted by our customers and Channel Partners as the defining feature of their experience with us.
Product bundling is a marketing strategy combining multiple products or services in a single package, often for a discounted price or another benefit.
When Kelly Dooley joined Smart Ease as a Sales Manager in October 2023, she was only the second UK-based staff member on the team. This was also her first sales role in the fintech and renewable sectors.
Another successful Solar & Storage Live under our belt, and the whole team agrees: it was the best one yet!
According to the latest MSC data, there was a record-breaking 27,000 certified heat pump installations in the UK in the first half of 2024 – a 45% leap from the same period last year.
So what is a heat pump? And why are they becoming so popular for business owners?
A common complaint we hear from business owners is “I want to install solar and start saving on electricity, but I can’t because I’m only renting.”
But contrary to popular belief, renting your business premises is not a barrier to installing solar.
Last year our CEO, Guy Olian, shared his perspective on the future of renewable energy in the UK with Executive TV.
