Rental companies and contractors looking to make the switch from fossil fuels to solar power can now calculate their carbon and cost savings by using a new “savings calculator” developed by Prolectric.
The off-grid power and lighting specialist has developed the savings calculator with the aim of helping businesses achieve their Net Zero targets and save money by finding out the potential carbon, diesel and cost savings they could see when switching from diesel powered systems to Prolectric’s solar and hybrid power products.
Prolectric said it sought to give contractors “quick access to understandable data” that would help fast-track their fuel transition and “achieve their environmental and sustainability objectives”.
Prolectric Managing Director Rachel Preen, who was appointed at the beginning of the year, was quoted by International Rental News as saying that the new tool “offers another level of granularity for customers during the critical specification and procurement stages”.
“Our range of environmentally friendly, advanced performance products have been designed as direct like-for-like diesel replacements, making them a simple switch. The environmental case is clear, but our new savings calculator provides a simple yet highly effective tool to support businesses to see the full benefits and build a commercial case to switch to solar,” Preen told IRN.
“Since launching our first solar lighting tower in 2017, we estimate to have saved our clients 26 million kg of CO2 and reduced diesel usage by more than 10 million litres, – that’s probably saved our customers more than £9 million.”
