If you have been considering installing solar panels for your business, but have hesitated now that the Qld Premium feed in tariff has been capped to systems of 5KWh only, we’d like to reassure you that even without that income generating potential solar systems are still capable of giving you  percentage returns in the high teens.

This is because with some form of carbon tax + escalating electricity prices both inevitable, Solar is a clear winner when you do the numbers.

Why Solar is a Smart Business Investment-

Great Tax Benefits; The Government is supplying excellent incentives via tax advantages to encourage businesses to make the switch to alternative energy; our consultants can provide you with the latest details.

Fix your power costs at today’s prices; You are probably already paying a premium for your electricity, and conservative estimates are for prices to continue to rise at least 9% a year. Installing solar now means you can lock in your electricity expenses at a fixed lower rate for 6-8 years, and after that your system will have paid for itself and you’ll get another 12-15 years of power generation for free!

Money saved is money earned; Our specialist Commercial Solar Consultants offer free on-Site Energy Assessments which reduce our clients energy bills by 10-15% on average even before you install solar. Lower bills means that you only need to invest in a smaller system to eliminate your power charges; your daily KWh usage roughly equals the system size required to generate the same output.

Insulation; If your premises are in a shed with a time roof then your heating and cooling costs will be very high; installing solar panels across the roof provides immediate and very effective insulation. This will both reduce your power usage and make life more comfortable for your employees.

Add to the asset value of your business; Reduced expenses mean increased profits and a more favourable balance sheet.

Being seen as Green is favourable to consumers as well as governments; The general public might not be keen to pay for the carbon tax either but over 80% of Australians are concerned about climate issues and their buying decisions are influenced by that. Marketing surveys show that they prefer to support “Green” & environmentally aware Businesses.

And last but definitely not least;

Offset Your Carbon Emissions;  Despite the best efforts of business groups the carbon tax is still looking likely to begin at $26/tonne, but even at $20/tonne you will be much better off financially by providing your own renewable energy via solar panels.

Not surprisingly there is a lot of concern and uncertainty amongst business owners as to how they will be impacted by the worldwide requirement to reduce carbon emissions but the changes are inevitable; major powers such as China, the Us, the UK, Germany and Japan have already made strict commitments and the Australian government must follow suit.

As you can see from the above list the benefits to your business of installing solar panels are compelling, and we are able to provide you with a tailor made solar power solution that will provide an clear economic advantage to your business.
