  • Lower power costs: solar can reduce what you buy from the grid during business hours.
  • Maintenance still matters: commercial systems need regular cleaning and inspection.
  • It is a considerable investment: finance may be available, subject to eligibility.

Are Solar Panels Right for Your Business?

If you are worried about your power bill, solar panels are an upgrade that can give you some solutions. Solar panels for business are a good idea for many reasons. Think about the points below to see how solar might fit your business.

Solar Panels Can Cut Your Electricity Costs

Do yourself a favour and book an energy efficiency audit for your company first. Our audit is charged at our standard hourly rate, and you receive a comprehensive written report with the issues we found and a plan to resolve them. With solar panels, you can reduce your electricity bills substantially, particularly if most of your power use happens during the day.

Your operating costs are significant when you are constantly running cooling systems, appliances, lights and more. These use a lot of electricity, so generating power from the sun can lower your costs. We design each system to suit your building and your hours of use.

Keep Maintenance Planned and Low

Solar panels have no moving parts, so day-to-day maintenance is low. Panels still need to be kept clean, and the system should be inspected regularly so that faults are found early. Plan for a professional cleaning and check each year. See why maintaining solar installations matters.

Show Customers You Are Serious About Efficiency

Panels on a commercial building show customers and staff that your business is serious about using energy wisely. Systems must be designed and installed by certified professionals, so choose a Clean Energy Council accredited team.

Lower Your Business Carbon Footprint

Your company can lower its carbon footprint by installing commercial solar panels. There is a strong energy push in the market, and reporting a lower footprint can support tenders, customers and staff.

Batteries and Finance for Business

A battery can help you use more of your own power. We install Fronius and BYD batteries, with capacity sized to your needs. Finance options may be available through providers such as Brighte and Solaris, subject to eligibility, credit approval, fees and terms. Ask us what applies to your business.
