Suitable Businesses Typically Have
High Daytime Power Usage
If your operations run mostly during daylight hours, you can directly offset electricity costs with solar. This applies to
-Warehouses
-Manufacturing facilities
-Food processing and packaging plants
-Cold storage sites
-Agricultural operations such as dairy farms, irrigation systems, and greenhouses.
Large Roof Area
Solar panels can be installed on flat or gently sloped rooftops, shed roofs, or unused land. Ideal properties include -
-Commercial and industrial buildings
-Distribution centres
-Farms with shed space or open paddocks.
High Power Bill
Businesses spending over $1,000 per month on power often see strong returns from solar. It helps manage long-term energy costs and reduce exposure to increasing grid prices.
A Need for Energy Security
If your business is affected by power outages or has systems that need to stay online, solar combined with battery storage can minimise downtime, keep critical equipment running during grid failures, and prevent disruptions to operations or product quality.
Sustainability and Environmental Goals
Many businesses are prioritising sustainability and carbon reduction, particularly in agriculture and export-focused industries. Solar is a measurable and visible way to meet environmental goals and strengthen your brand.
Long term Savings In Mind
Solar is a reliable long-term investment. With system lifespans exceeding 25 years, forward-thinking businesses are using solar to reduce future risk, lock in energy savings, and improve energy independence.
