What makes the solar and energy solutions from Green & You different?
The Green & You advisors carry out an energy audit of your business or farm and use the Scout - a device that gives detailed information about energy consumption.

What are the benefits of energy solutions for businesses and farms?
Businesses and farms have very good pay-back - even just three years. So you save money and you invest in energy independence. Green & You knows that businesses and farmers cannot afford to lose production for a few hours. Energy solutions provide continuity and energy security.

What types of options does Green & You offer for businesses and farmers?
Because Green & You and Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom know that most businesses are operational during the day, hybrid systems work well. The solar panels offer a saving of operating costs during the day and the batteries offer back-up for times when the sun does not shine and in case of power cuts.

What do businesses sometimes not consider when it comes to energy systems and their use?
It's not just loadshedding that affects businesses. It's also cable theft and power outages - problems that usually last longer than just two hours. That's where batteries come in handy. Otherwise you remain dependent on the grid.

Green & You offers customized systems for farmers and businesses
Businesses pay more for electricity at peak times. After Green & You has monitored your farming or business's energy consumption, they can propose systems so that your business then uses batteries in those times and saves costs. And, like a good business model, it has payback. So businesses can justify battery costs.

How do Green & You and Engel & Völkers help businesses that provide essential services and have procedures and systems that cannot stop or stand still?
Green & You advisors help the farmer or business owner with a custom system where only your critical procedures are backed up on the battery so that you do not suffer major damage or turnover loss with power outages.
