When Paul Hutchens first formed Eco2Solar to install solar energy, he had a vision to help combat the effects of climate change by making solar standard on all homes.<\/p>\n
At the end of the first year of installing solar PV, Eco2Solar had installed solar PV systems on a total of 94 properties throughout the UK.<\/p>\n
This figure has steadily grown year-on-year, and as we now approach the end of 2020, we are proud to have installed a total of 17,414 solar systems nationwide, which have collectively generated and offset 31,694,819 kWh of energy.<\/p>\n
To put it into perspective, that\u2019s enough energy to make a monumental 10 billion cups of tea! It\u2019s also the equivalent of driving over 93 million road miles or flying nearly 53 million air miles.<\/p>\n
Crucially though, that number of kilowatts could power an incredible 7923 homes every year with clean energy – the equivalent of almost the entire town of Stourport-on-Severn, Gerrards Cross or Dumbarton.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that we\u2019re moving towards a future that\u2019s powered by more electricity and less – or ideally no – fossil fuels,\u201d says our CEO, Paul Hutchens.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo reach global Net Zero targets, we\u2019re going to need more renewables to create that electricity – and solar energy gives us a clear path towards a more sustainable future where clean power is generated and delivered at local level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe energy offsetting figure we\u2019re at right now is really encouraging, and we\u2019ll continue to encourage housebuilders, local authorities and consumers to make solar a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
