Why You Should Consider Solar Panels for Your Office Building

Unlike households that typically use the bulk of their electricity throughout the evening and early morning, commercial businesses need to power their offices between 9 and 5. Employees expect and deserve a comfortable office with adequate lighting, optimum temperature control and other electrical services that make their working lives more comfortable and more enjoyable. Solar energy can do that!

Australian businesses are ideal candidates for solar panel systems. Harness the power of the sun as it shines throughout the day and deliver quality lighting, air conditioning, and other electrical services to your valued employees!

When it comes to investing in a commercial solar power system, the cost can be the make-or-break deciding factor. Fortunately, most businesses have found that investing in renewable energy sets them back no more than paying for borrowed electricity from the grid. The most significant difference between the two? You only pay once for the solar power system. All future generated energy is free!

What are Some of the Benefits of Going Solar?

You can lower your energy bills.

After the initial up-front investment to buy the solar power system itself, all energy generated from the sun is completely free. Depending on how large your business is, a typical solar system will pay itself off within a decade. And with extra incentives and the ability to sell your stored power back to the grid, you’ll find yourself saving more money and making a profit!

You can reduce your dependency on the electricity grid.

Solar panels reduce your dependency on the local power grid. If the power goes out due to a storm or other event, your stored solar energy will keep your employees, clients and customers happy when your ill-prepared competitors can’t.

You can be environmentally friendly.

Solar energy produces no harmful emissions. It is 100% renewable energy straight from the sun! By using solar power, you’re helping to reduce toxic greenhouse gases that wreak havoc on the environment and contribute to common human health problems. Your solar panels visibly demonstrate your dedication to making the world a better place. And in today’s day and age, that’s free marketing! Attract even more customers who value green energy and stand out from the competition!

You can rely on low maintenance and high reliability.

Investing in a solar energy system that is then delivered and installed by a reputable provider ensures minimal future maintenance. A high-quality system provides optimum performance throughout its lifetime, which is usually at least two decades! Designed to withstand harsh weather, solar panels are sturdy and reliable on just about any rooftop. And if a solar panel does get damaged, a reputable provider generally offers a generous warranty to cover this.

You can get a little help from the government.

Financial incentives provided by the government make it easier for businesses to go green. Depending on the size of your business, state and federal governments will supply you with STC’s or LGC’s. These certificates allow for your generated excess energy to be purchased, sold, and traded on an open market.

Solar feed-in tariffs are also available, acting as payment for any excess electricity sent back to the local electricity grid.

Save money, help the environment and improve your lifestyle.

We’re more than happy to help you find a way to lower your environmental impact and save some money with energy free from the sun!


Is Solar Energy Worth it? Debunking the Most Common Misconceptions

Renewable energy sources are on the rise and powering your home with the sun’s rays are no exception! Continuing its reign as Australia’s most preferred source of energy, solar power is a smart investment. But a lot of people are still confused about what it is and how they will benefit from it.

If you are scratching your head, wondering if solar power is all it’s cracked up to be, you’re not alone. Here, we shed some light on the situation by debunking a few common solar energy myths.

Myth #1

Solar Takes Forever to Pay Off

It wasn’t that long ago that solar systems took nearly a decade or more to break even. But nowadays, depending on your electricity usage and system size, full payback can be achieved in as little as 3-5 years! Not bad for a system that generally lasts more than 2 decades!

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that can be boosted by several incentives, schemes and programs that reduce the upfront cost of a solar system. These programs also often extend to battery storage. And after you add in a generous manufacturer warranty? You can save even more!

Myth #2

My Electricity Bill Will Be Bigger

Most anyone with solar panels installed will have noticed a reduction in their electricity bill. The common misconception that solar panels cost you more money is just untrue!

Solar energy is free energy from the sun! You’re investing in the system that converts it and the battery that stores it.

When you invest in solar energy, you are helping to reduce the ‘peak’ demand on the electricity network. As cities grow and more people consume electricity, the electricity grid takes a beating. Solar energy helps reduce the strain of high electrical demand, and cuts out the need for inefficient, non-renewable energy!

And with the sun shining and your solar panels soaking it up, you’re bound to get some excess energy. After your system feeds this electricity back to the grid, you get credited for the export of power, thus lowing your power bill!

Whatever your system picks up is yours to use. You no longer need to rely on the grid. And with extra batteries to store excess power, you’re all set! You’re only paying for maintenance from here on out!

Myth #3

Solar Panels are Too Expensive

The first step to understanding how much money a solar power system can save you is to calculate how much you are currently spending on electricity from the grid. An average Queensland household pays about $1608 a year, according to a 2019 study. A solar-powered home allows you to generate your own energy, which will drastically reduce your electricity bill, especially if you use most of your energy during the day or store it with a solar battery storage system.

Because the cost of a solar power system is an up-front investment, it may seem expensive in the short term, though the upfront cost can be reduced through the current solar grants. The system also pays itself off over a minimum of two decades as it reduces your electricity bill and saves you money in the long run by creating renewable energy for your home.

Save money, help the environment and improve your lifestyle.

We’re more than happy to help you find a way to lower your environmental impact and save some money with energy free from the sun!
