Residential Renewables

Renewables Technologies for Residential Buildings

Saving energy through increasing energy efficiency in buildings is of prime importance globally. The two main pillars of this are reducing the energy consumption of buildings and integrating clean, renewable energy sources into the built environment.

Solar PV is the most common installation for domestic renewable electricity generation. Your property will require unshaded usable space on your roof, or potentially within your garden, with generally a south facing aspect.

Solar Panels can be fitted either on roof mounts/tracks, or alternatively they can be fitted into the roof line, so that they sit level with the roof tiles.

You don’t need to install a battery for your Solar Panels to work, but a battery can help you get the most out of the energy your panels are generating. If you don’t have a battery, you’ll switch back to using energy from the national grid. If you have a battery installed, you can use any extra energy stored in the battery at night time. This reduces your reliance on the grid for electricity.

What is an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT)?

EOT Logo

EOT’s were facilitated and created by the Finance Act 2014, to encourage more companies to become employee owned.

Employee ownership is where all employees have a ‘significant and meaningful’ stake in a business.

An EOT places a majority of its company shares into a Trust, for the benefit of its Employees; an EOT may also issue shares directly to Employees as part of share incentive plans.

The shares held in Trust for Employees will provide various benefits to Employees, including a share of any future sales proceeds of the Business, as well as tax-free bonuses up to a certain limit.

Platinum ECO Services Ltd (as well as our trading brand Platinum Park Homes Services), is an EOT and is majority owned by its employees.

The current owner of the business decided to create an EOT for his Employees, as part of an ongoing and inclusive approach toward incentivising and rewarding Employees’ commitment and hard work.
