Is commercial solar right for my business?
The roof of your commercial property is valuable real estate. So, why continue to pay electricity bills when you can invest in a commercial solar solution?
Most businesses operate between the hours of 9am and 5pm. If this is the case for your business, then solar power is the perfect fit. This is because your business is consuming most of its electricity during peak sunshine hours.
Why install commercial solar?
When you install commercial solar, you power your business with renewable energy. As a result, you increase your profits by lowering your bottom line.
Designed, installed, and maintained correctly, solar power will improve your energy efficiency. Additionally, it will protect your business against the rising cost of electricity.
However, an investment in solar for your business is not only about reducing bills and demonstrating an internal rate of return. More and more Australian business operators turn to solar power to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment for future generations.
Can solar panels save a business money?
It’s quite common to achieve commercial solar payback in as little as three years. The maximum timeframe is generally five years. To help determine if commercial solar is right for your business, all Solenergy solar proposals include a 20-year financial summary.
The summary firstly highlights the net present value. Secondly is the discounted payback period and return on investment. Finally the we calculate and include the internal rate of return.
As part of our design and consultation phase, we complete an energy profile analysis for your business. Once this analysis is complete, you’ll know how much you can save. This is because the analysis considers the following:
- your existing consumption
- interval data and electricity tariffs
- the direction of the proposed solar panel layout, and
- the location of your business and the environmental conditions.
What size commercial solar system?
Every business is unique. Therefore, one size does not fit all. The size of commercial solar systems can be categorised into the following size breaks:
- Less than 30kW
- 30-100kW
- More than 100kW
- More than 250kW
As soon as we have completed the energy profile analysis, we can make recommendations for a commercial solar solution that will work for you and your business.
Is there a financial solar power incentive?
If your commercial solar system is less than 99.9kW, you’re eligible for a financial incentive under the Small-Scale Technology Certificate (STC) program. This means, we apply your financial incentive as a discount to your commercial solar quote. The calculation is based on your location, the date of install, and the expected power generation of the solar system. You can learn more about STCs via the Clean Energy Regulator.
If your commercial solar system is 100kW or larger, you are eligible to claim Large-Scale Generation Certificates (LGC). Your business will earn LGCs by tracking and reporting energy through specialised metering. Consequently, when you offset coal-fed electricity production with solar power, your business generates additional income. You can learn more about LGCs via the Clean Energy Regulator.
