The UK government has set a goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. This ambitious goal will require a significant shift away from fossil fuels, and there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve it.
At KJ Tait, we continue to invest in new software to assist our Engineers in developing strategies to reduce carbon emissions. PVSol is the most comprehensive solar PV software currently on the market.
KJ Tait have embarked on a new Passive House project, together with MRT Architects, for a Complex Care development in the Stoneywood area of Aberdeen. The scheme will include 8 semi-detached homes and staff offices.
When utility costs for consuming grid electricity began to rise early last year from circa 14p/kWh to 45p/kWh (and even higher), the economics of using all the energy generated from a PV array through utilising energy storage systems began to make sense.
