German term or phrase: Energiesparen ist möglich, die Lösungen sind da
Monday morning. My brain is not in creative mode yet. All I could come up with was:

Saving energy is possible, the solutions are there.

The context is plastic materials in building and construction (insulation, triple-glazed windows and such like)

There must be a better way of saying this, surely?

Cut your energy costs


Explanation:
To state the obvious, the second part of the slogan is completely redundant - it is already implied in the first part, so (depending on the situation in which it is to be used) you could say it all with something simple like the above or "You can save energy".
