Polyglot turns to solar power

With six offices in Australia, three in Europe, plus a network of international partners, the Polyglot Group, like any other global business, leaves a trail of carbon footprints all across the globe. The best way to combat its large energy consumption during working hours was to turn to solar.

The Polyglot Group helps businesses across all industries to expand and optimise their local operations with ease. Now it is optimising its own business by going solar. For office buildings, it is normal to run air conditioners daily during summer and heaters daily in winter. Unfortunately, high electricity costs are also normal and they leave companies with a large utility bill every month.

The Polyglot Group relied on Blue Marble Solar, part of Energy Puzzle Group, to install a renewable solution. “Prior to installation, both companies committed resources to check the design layout, confirm the return on investment calculations and ensure prompt equipment delivery,” said Jan Rieche, Polyglot’s internal renewable energy advocate, who heads up the company’s global Renewable Energy and Engineering business.

“Enphase also demonstrated unparalleled support when they sent a technical engineer to the site to help us activate the system’s communications and monitoring software.”

Polyglot Group’s one major concern with adding solar was that the installation process would be noisy and disruptive to the business as well as to the people working in the office during the day.

“Enphase’s easy-to-install technology allowed for a fast installation, and the collaboration between Enphase and the installer went smoothly and efficiently, with no disruption to our business at all,” said Rieche.

The 14.39 kW system has helped Polyglot save money and reduce dependency on electricity from the grid.
