THE MHM Group has reported a surge in demand for solar products, as businesses look to set ambitious environmental targets in 2023.
MHM said its Eco division has experienced over 150% increase in Street-Lite sales this year alone. The product is described as saving 100% of Co2 emissions compared with standard diesel lighting towers.
MHM Eco has tripled its sustainable fleet this year, with demand increasing due to a range of economic factors, including the red diesel ban, along with businesses having a higher environmental corporate social responsibility.
Brad Ireland, MHM sales director, said, “As mentioned in this year’s COP27, among other key focuses, the UK is pledging to speed up the transition to renewables – with £65.5m for green tech innovation, as well as significant clean energy investments with Kenya and Egypt. It’s a step in the right direction and we are proud to be at the forefront, offering sustainable machinery alternatives for some of the most affected industries.
“The UK’s energy crisis being discussed on a public stage like COP27 will no doubt accelerate the demand for greener fuels and solar power. We had already experienced higher than usual enquiries at the start of the year due to the red diesel ban, but now the rising energy costs and environmental issues currently in the news are having a big impact on sales.
“As the technology in the solar power industry advances, so will MHM. We plan to invest heavily in other renewables, such as solar and battery hybrid machines, as part of our comprehensive approach to a sustainable future and to being carbon neutral by 2030.”
