Commercial solar power

 

  

Our commercial solar division covers solar panel based photovoltaic (PV) power systems installed on the rooftops of businesses, schools and community organisations across Australia, from 20 kilowatts to 1 megawatt in size.

     

Anyone with a large roof space could reap the rewards of a commercial scale solar power system - you only need a minimum 200m2 of free roof space in good condition, unimpeded and unshaded; with preferably a northerly aspect.

Why go solar?

    

Australia is among the highest carbon polluters in the world per capita and yet has the most solar resources of any inhabited continent. Proven solar technology is both beneficial to the environment and a great hedge against rapidly rising electricity prices. There are a multitude of solid economic, social and environmental reasons for commercial solar.

    

Economic

    

• The price of solar power has dropped dramatically over the last 18 months, while electricity prices have skyrocketed - and the price hikes will continue. 
• Generate electricity at a lower cost than purchasing from a utility.
• Generate revenue by selling your power to your building's tenant or to electricity retailers.
• Increase the value of your building by improving your NABERs/Greenstar rating.
• Reduce electricity use on site related to cooling by using solar to reflect sunlight from your North facing roof.

  

Social and promotional

  

• Enhance your brand's credibility via system visibility, EM launch events, data monitoring LCD displays somewhere prominent in your building.
• Produce peak power - Australia is heading towards a chronic shortage.

  

Environmental 

   

• Generate clean, green energy for decades - well beyond the 25 year warranty period on the panels.
• Solar panels used by Energy Matters such as REC Solar modules have low embodied energy of less than 10 months meaning that the life-cycle environmental impact is minimal.
