As Australian businesses increasingly become aware of the benefits of solar, more are turning to Energy Matters to help them achieve their solar goals and improve their bottom line.
According to the latest Sunwiz Insights, of the 48 x 100kW solar power systems installed in Australia in the last 3 months; Energy Matters led the pack with 5 x 100kW systems.
The Sunwiz report also states that of the installers with more than 10 commercial installations in the last three months, Energy Matters had the highest average of any large currently operating retailer.
Energy Matters’ portfolio of commercial solar installations is rapidly growing; with high profile projects including Western Australia’s largest privately-owned rooftop solar power system for Bidvest Foodservices and Australia’s largest privately funded array at NEXTDC’s M1 Data Centre in Melbourne. The company has also executed projects for Federation Square, RACV and the University Of Wollongong.
The 67 commercial systems monitored by Energy Matters recently exceeded 1 gigawatt-hour (1 million kilowatt hours) in cumulative generation. The 67 systems don’t include some of the larger installations the company has performed.
Payback on an Energy Matters installed commercial system is generally 5-7 years, however with the option of an operating lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) backed by a performance guarantee; companies can avoid any capital outlay and begin saving from day one.
In addition to the direct financial benefits of solar power systems; there are significant environmental, social and promotional benefits for companies as well. With so many Australian companies having significant rooftop real estate and power prices continually climbing, solar simply makes good business sense.
