It is not the first time that world wars pushed innovation ahead of its time. The world saw massive strides forward in the two world wars, and we are seeing it again now.

We know that conflict in Europe, and now the far east can affect the price of bread in South Africa.

We also know that the soaring fuel price is likely to force people to consider alternative energy sources. It may just be the final push that South African business needs to invest in the renewable energy sectors.

Although the oil producers in the middle east are concerned more people may move to electric cars, the overall reliance on fuel can also redirect the heavy reliance we have on generators, which are dirty and now costly.

The price of solar components has been a barrier to most companies and residential owners from investing in solar in the recent past. Now, with the flood of renewable energy companies growing daily, we can hope that it can be the tide of change.

What can investing in renewable energy do for your company?

It is not too late. The initial outlay may have caused the financial director to pause in the past, but now, with the rising cost of power, fuel, and renewed load shedding in South Africa, it is no longer nice to have. Getting off the grid as much as possible now is the wise decision to make.

If your business does not have a solution in the pipeline, it is time to get moving. The cheese has shifted, and it is time to source new alternatives.

When you know that regardless of the load shedding schedule, your business can continue to operate without interruption, you will be the company that delivers on time. If you have constant interruptions, you may lose your customer base to the business that chose to invest now.  Innovation is a given, it is time to move with the times.

The wise decision to save the planet

Of course, we all need to look to the future in terms of relying less on our planet’s resources. Renewable energy, especially in hot climates like South Africa, where we get free energy from the sun most days, is a no-brainer.

Once you have invested in your business, you can instantly see the savings to your bottom line. A reduction in your operating costs is a direct link, but your hours and days of increased productivity can also showcase how you fare against the competition.
