Save Energy
Solar Panels
Essex Eco Solar Ltd was formed to provide one solution to help combat climate change, provide secure energy for the future and help home owners and businesses reap the financial rewards from thinking green. Solar PV has been around for a long time and the interest has always been high for what is an energy source for the future. The problem has been the long-term payback of a solar PV system. However since the Government has committed itself to a more aggressive policy to combat climate change the new Cash for Clean Energy Scheme has made the payback much shorter and the current FIT (Feed in tariff) rates even present solar PV as a long term financial investment. The SAP calculations along with our pay-back calculator can help you extrapolate the long term financial benefits of a solar PV system, and when you combine projected increases in the cost of electricity and inflation it becomes clear that solar PV is a very realistic option for homes and businesses throughout the country.
Commercial premises can apply for interest free loans and as of 2012 green loans will become available for homeowners to demonstrating the government’s long-term commitment to renewable energy technologies.

Intelligent Lighting and Multil Room Audio Visual Systems
Intelligent Lighting or Architectural Lighting Control is a control system that gives you the power to transform a space to suit any mood. Almost any environment can be enhanced and energy saved; homes, retail, hospitality, galleries, museums, themed venues, lecture theatres, boardrooms, ballrooms, and more. Sensors can be installed to trigger lighting via occupancy or even to regulate the brightness or lighting needed in a room.
Using LED lighting is reduced power consumption. When designed properly an LED circuit will approach 80% efficiency.

NEW GREEN EQUIPMENT INVESTMENT FUND OPEN TO APPLICATIONS
The Carbon Trust and Siemens Financial Services have jointly launched a new scheme designed to provide flexible financing options to all types of organisations seeking to lower their energy costs and make their operations more efficient.
The Energy Efficiency Financing Scheme, which has an overall budget of £550 million over the next three years, is the first of its kind. It will enable UK businesses to invest in cost effective energy efficiency equipment and other low carbon technologies, such as new efficient lighting and biomass heating. Loans and other financing options will be provided to fund equipment that can lower energy bills, with payments calculated so that they may be offset by the anticipated energy savings. Financing can be arranged from a minimum of £1,000, with no upper limits.
Siemens is providing the financial backing for the scheme, whilst the Carbon Trust will draw on its expertise in carbon saving from energy efficient technologies to assess the carbon, energy and cost savings of supported projects. It is anticipated that this will enable the financing to pay for itself through energy savings, resulting in no net cost to customers. The scheme is available to all kinds of businesses and organisations operating in the UK, from sole traders and partnerships through to large corporate enterprises, local authorities and other public sector organisations.
Energy Efficiency Financing can fund a wide variety of costs. Projects that may qualify include building technologies, such as pipe insulation and air conditioning, or industrial process technologies, including compressed air, refrigeration or specialist production equipment. The financing may also be used to fund combined projects, such as replacing heating and lighting. Applications may be submitted at any time. http://www.energyefficiencyfinancing.co.uk/Pages/home.aspx
