Why Solar is the Perfect Christmas Present for Your Business


As the Christmas season approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the year gone by and set your business up for future success. This year, why not give your company a gift that keeps on giving? Solar energy is more than an investment—it’s a commitment to sustainability, savings, and a brighter future for your business.

At Shannon Energy, we understand the unique needs of Irish businesses and offer tailored solar solutions to help you make the most of renewable energy. Here’s why solar could be the ultimate Christmas present for your business:

1. A Gift That Keeps Giving

A commercial solar PV system is not just a purchase; it’s a long-term investment in your business’s future. With a lifespan of 25 years or more, solar panels provide year-round savings on energy costs while shielding your business from rising electricity prices. It’s a present that pays for itself many times over.


2. Take Advantage of Available Grants and Incentives

The Irish government offers several financial supports to encourage businesses to adopt renewable energy. These include grants through the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) that can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installation. Additionally, schemes like the Accelerated Capital Allowance allow businesses to deduct the cost of solar installations from taxable profits, making the investment even more appealing.


3. Lead the Way in Sustainability

Christmas is a time of generosity, and what better way to give back than by reducing your carbon footprint? Solar energy helps your business reduce reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to Ireland’s renewable energy targets. Show your commitment to a greener planet and inspire others to follow suit.


4. Enhance Your Business Reputation

Sustainability matters more than ever. By embracing solar, your business demonstrates leadership in renewable energy, which can resonate with environmentally conscious customers and clients. It’s a powerful message that aligns your business values with the growing demand for sustainability.


5. Stabilise Your Energy Costs

With energy prices remaining unpredictable, solar PV offers a reliable way to control costs. By generating your own power, you’ll reduce reliance on the grid and protect your business from future price volatility. Solar is an investment in financial stability, ensuring peace of mind in the years ahead.


6. Start the New Year Strong

Christmas often brings a quieter period for businesses, making it an ideal time to plan or start a solar project. By investing now, you can have your system installed and operational for 2024, reaping the benefits from day one of the new year.


7. A Thoughtful Message of Hope

The festive season is about looking forward, and solar energy represents hope for a sustainable future. By choosing solar, you send a strong message to your employees, stakeholders, and community that your business is investing in the future—not just for profits but for the planet.
