Some of the most common concerns we hear at Think Hire are worries about the cost of switching to solar tower lighting and other renewable energy sources. Customers are convinced that the cost of hiring solar tower lighting, or solar powered generators will outweigh the savings made by harnessing free energy from the sun.

In fact, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Even when you take into account the extra cost to hire solar tower lighting or solar generator hire, you can still make substantial savings by switching to cleaner, greener energy with Think Hire. Check out our case studies to see how going green can save you money as well as helping to save the planet.

Questioning the cost

It’s no surprise that our customers think switching to renewable energy sources is going to be expensive. The news is full of doubters who think that the investments being made in carbon reduction are too high a price to pay when there are so many other worthy areas that need investment.

One recent report told how a member of the Tynwald government on the Isle of Man said that the money they were spending on green initiatives ‘could be spent in other areas where people would feel a real benefit’. Instead of ‘spending millions on climate change without guaranteed results,’ he urged to Council of Ministers to urgently review the island’s net zero targets.

Similarly, ministers in Scotland rolled back some of their climate goals in April this year, scrapping annual and interim targets for cutting carbon emissions. Activist Chris Packham recently settled his legal action against the UK Government for walking back many of their climate promises, and let’s not get started on President-Elect Donald Trump’s view on the pros and cons of investing in climate protection projects.

Local action, local savings

To be fair, changing from a fossil fuel economy to a cleaner, greener way of doing things is eye-wateringly expensive on a national and international scale. But on a local level, thanks to Think Hire, the economic argument is as strong as the environmental one. Switching to solar tower lighting and solar powered generator hire can lead to substantial savings in running costs from day one. Just plug and play and save.

Cora Homes saved 58% on their operating costs with Think Hire solar generator hire, while Miller Homes saved 71%. Ardmore Ltd cut their costs by 60% and GV Gallagher Ltd cut theirs 64%.
