Our Impact

Investing in our Future.

Making the change

To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, emissions need to be reduced by almost half by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. Achieving this will require no longer relying on fossil fuels, but investing in energy alternatives that are clean, accessible, reliable and affordable.

On average, one 10 kW solar panel eliminates around 4 tons of carbon emissions annually.

This is roughly equivalent to planting over 100 trees per year.

Larger installations can have 10 times the effect. In fact, even one residential solar installation has a measurable effect on the environment.

Impacts at Home

Reduced Energy Bills

Renewable energy actually is the cheapest power option in most parts of the world today. Prices for renewable energy technologies are dropping rapidly. The cost of electricity from solar power fell by 85 percent between 2010 and 2020. Many homeowners report savings of 50% or more on their monthly electricity bills after installing a solar panel system.

Healthier

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 99 percent of people in the world breathe air that exceeds air quality limits and threatens their health, and more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes, including air pollution. Switching to clean sources of energy, such solar, helps address not only climate change but also air pollution and health.

Increased Home Value

Making the switch to renewable energy can also increase the value of your home. Homes with solar panels or air source heat pumps are seen as more desirable and are often valued higher than similar homes without

Energy Independence

When you generate your own energy through solar panels, you no longer have to rely solely on your energy provider. This can give you more control over your energy consumption and costs. Renewable energy systems are also more resilient than traditional energy sources, with solar panels being able to generate energy even during power outages.

Environmental Impact

By reducing your carbon footprint and supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy system, you can play a role in helping to protect the planet for future generations.

Transitioning to renewable energy couldn’t be easier and making the switch has many benefits for both you and the planet.

GHG Quota

Germany aims to slash its CO₂ emissions by 65% compared to 1990 levels and attain climate neutrality by 2045. To accomplish this, the Bundestag has instituted several measures. Within the transportation sector, mineral oil companies have been mandated to fulfill a quota for CO₂ savings since 2015, known as the greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota). The objective is to enhance the affordability and appeal of climate-friendly mobility options.
