The Number One Defence for Small Business Energy Pain

Commercial solar systems are becoming more and more popular among businesses across the country. There are many reasons why these systems make sense for companies of all sizes and industries, from small shops to large manufacturing plants.

The main reason that commercial solar systems are growing in popularity is that they save money by reducing energy costs, increase profit and transition to NetZero. With power rates rising every year, businesses can save a significant amount of money by switching to solar.

Another major benefit of solar systems is that they are environmentally friendly and help reduce your carbon footprint. By using the sun’s energy to power your business, you are reducing the amount of pollution caused by traditional energy sources like coal and natural gas.

Purchasing a solar system through a power purchase agreement is also a very popular way for business owners to get solar. This enables customers to go solar without having to pay upfront for the solar system.

With a PPA, we will supply and install the solar system and you pay a fixed rate for the electricity that your solar system produces, allowing you to save money on energy costs. For example, a business installing a 30KW solar system on a PPA can save up to $9,000 or more a year in energy costs, without having to pay for a solar system.

If you are thinking of making the switch to commercial solar for your business, there are several factors to consider. First, you will need to assess your company’s energy usage and available roof space for the system you want to install.

Once you have determined your needs, there are many different options available to suit businesses of all sizes and budgets. Whether you choose to purchase a solar system outright or through a power purchase agreement, solar is an excellent way for companies to reduce their energy costs while helping

Businesses in Australia are also increasingly turning to solar energy to power their electric vehicles, due to its many benefits. They are doing this for their staff and customer’s needs. Solar helps businesses save on electricity bills and enables them to take greater control over their energy usage.

If you’re interested in learning more about commercial solar systems for your business, contact us today for a free consultation. We’ll work with you to determine the best system for your needs and help get you on the path toward reducing your energy costs and going green.
