At Zinc Electrical, we don't just install solar energy systems we are committed to creating lasting, positive environmental impacts by planting trees.
Every installation supports global reforestation, actively offsetting carbon emissions and promoting sustainability.
We understand the environmental concerns associated with manufacturing, transporting, installing, and eventually recycling solar panels, batteries, and EV chargers.
That's why we've partnered with B1G1 to plant trees for every system we install, directly addressing and offsetting these impacts.
1 Panel Installed = 1 Tree Planted
1 Battery Installed = 1 Tree Planted
1 EV Charger Installed = 1 Tree Planted
Each tree planted absorbs approximately 1,920kg of CO₂ over its lifetime:
A 500W Solar Panel: Generates 300kg of CO₂ during its lifecycle.
A 5kWh Battery: Generates 1,300kg of CO₂ during its lifecycle.
A 7kW EV Charger: Generates 100kg of CO₂ during its lifecycle.
By planting trees corresponding to each component installed, we ensure your solar investment becomes truly climate positive, offsetting carbon footprints many times over.
For a system comprising of 10 Solar Panels, a 10kWh Battery and an EV Charger we would plant 13 trees. This system would emit 5,700kg of CO₂ during its lifecycle and the 13 trees would collectively absorb approximately 24,960 kg of CO₂ over their lifetime, significantly surpassing the carbon footprint of your solar system and making a positive impact on the planet.
In order to offset the carbon footprint of our day to day business operations we plant a separate copse of 25 trees every month. Lovely.
