Solar panels are a long-term, low-risk investment, with manufacturers warranting the efficiency of the panels for between 20 and 30 years. They can substantially reduce electricity costs by generating a substantial portion of the energy required for daily operations. By producing their own energy, petrol stations can lower their dependency on the grid, leading to considerable savings on energy bills. Those savings can then be re-invested in the business elsewhere. Read the article: https://buff.ly/4hzddeA #petrolstation #fuelstation #renewability

Forecourt magazines are no strangers to articles promoting renewable energy to filling station owners. The increase in electric and hybrid vehicles on the road will only continue with the government-imposed Zero Emission Vehicle mandate raising thresholds year on year, until the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles is prohibited completely by 2035. In their quest to satisfy customer demand, forecourt owners and developers consider the costs and benefits of EV chargers and amid widespread advertisements promoting EV chargers, it’s understandable why they garner attention. However, another green energy initiative available to petrol stations, that should not be underestimated, is the installation of solar panels. Forecourt owners often overlook this simpler method of leveraging the benefits of renewable energy – using the wasted space on top. Petrol station canopies and shop roofs are otherwise unused spaces on which owners could consider installing solar panels to lower the cost of their own electricity and provide operational support to their site.
