I am glad to see that large businesses are beginning to see the benefits of using solar energy by installing solar panels to save energy. DHL’s fright hub at Halle Airport is one of the first self sufficient around in a bid to combat global warming. DHL have installed solar cells and 1,000 square meters of solar powered panels on the workshop roof to generate electricity. These solar panels produce upward of 100k kilowatt hours of electric a year.

This is part of DHL’s bid to go green and cut emissions by up to 90% by 2020. As well as having all those solar panels saving money on electric and saving the environment they have a system that collects the rain water from the roof. This is then collected and used all year round to clean aircrafts.

This goes to show you that there are also financial benefits to be made in going green. In the long term buying solar panels can save you money and you are doing your bit for the environment.
