Commercial Solar Costs, Savings and Information
Is your business seeing rising electricity prices? Most are seeing rapid power bill increases.
Commercial solar can help mitigate this. With forecasted power price rises, this is a problem that is only going to increase in years to come, making owning a business even harder for many Australians.
Solar power is a proven way to reduce your business electricity costs. It is a solid investment, guaranteed to provide a return for 25 years.
What a lot of business owners don’t understand is that solar has huge savings potential. Maybe it’s not that business owners don’t understand, but that they just don’t have time to understand.
We make it easy for business owners to understand how they can save huge amounts of money on their power bills with a quality, commercial solar power system.
How Can Commercial Solar Benefit Your Business?
Electricity Cost Reduction
Commercial solar power is one of the most effective ways a business can reduce their energy consumption. Your solar power system is like an automated power bill reduction system! You can offset your daytime energy usage (while your business is running the most), and protect your business from rising electricity prices.
High Return on Investment
Businesses value a good Return On Investment (ROI). We tailor a solar power solution specifically for your business’ needs and budget. Each commercial solar system is designed to have a pay back period of approximately 3 years which equates to around a 30% ROI. Sometimes you can even achieve 40% or more!
Environmental Sustainability
By installing a commercial solar system, the energy generated has a direct impact on your business’ carbon footprint. A 50kW system generates enough energy to reduce the emissions of 90 tonnes of carbon annually, that’s equivalent to taking 32 medium sized cars off the road. Not only is this a fantastic contribution to improving the environment, it can also be used as “green marketing” in your business.
Tax Benefits
There are many ways that businesses can gain tax benefits through the investment in a commercial solar system. This includes immediate tax deduction on assets $20,000 and under instead of depreciating them over the years.
Rebates & Grants
Government incentives (STCs) help cut the up-front investment to ‘go solar’ by as much as 40% on systems under 100kW. Systems over 100kW also attract incentives (LGCs) rather than an up-front discount (STCs).
The government also has a range of grants available for commercial solar power systems and other energy efficiency measures.
Social Advantage
It is a fact that Australian’s prefer to do business with companies that are making an effort to reduce their carbon footprint. We are living in a time where this affects people’s buying decisions. Installing Solar Power at your business will increase your potential clients base through the visible integrity of your efforts.
