The Benefits of Commercial Solar Power

Solar power for businesses can be a cost-effective, practical, and effective method of reducing energy costs and an organisation’s environmental footprint.

The benefit of solar energy can be justified purely on financial terms for most businesses, whilst for others, it may be a combination of financial, environmental, marketing and green credentials that determine the investment decision.

Attractive ROI on Your Investment

With electricity prices skyrocketing and solar power at record-low pricing, we are now seeing a new wave of commercial solar installations across Australia.

Our system designers can offer your business a solution with an attractive payback of between around 3 to 7 years depending on installation costs, brands/technology, and what you are trying to achieve with the project.

The ROI projections are also dependent on each business’s energy usage, energy contracts, and operating patterns.

Immediate Power Cost Reductions

As energy costs continue to rise, the installation of a solar power system can allow your business to lock in some or all of your energy requirements at a fixed, predictable rate that is typically much lower than buying it from the grid.

This not only reduces monthly operating costs and improves margins, but also allows for certainty in planning.

The future cost of electricity is unpredictable but it is forecast to continue increasing dramatically over the foreseeable future.

With solar systems having a design life of several decades, solar can provide predictable and managed costs long beyond the term of an energy supply contract.

For most businesses, the initial cost per kW for solar power will be below the current starting price of a fixed price contract or the standard grid rate.

Reduction of Your Carbon Emissions

Every kW of solar power installed can reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by more than 2 tonnes per annum. This provides a measurable benefit to the global reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere.

These Greenhouse Gas Reduction figures can be promoted by the company on its website, in its corporate or promotional marketing material and external communications.

NABERS and Green Star Rating Improvement

With recent research

showing that properties with a NABERS rating of 4 or higher can provide significantly higher returns than lower or non-rated properties, installing solar power can be a major contributor to achieving a rating increase.

We can work with your NABERS assessor to ensure solar makes a positive contribution to your property’s rating.

Marketing and Environmental Leverage

The intangible benefits of promoting an organisation’s green credentials can be significant and powerful – and solar power is a highly visible and measurable commitment to the environment.

Solar power can make for a great visual statement to staff and key stakeholders.

Increasingly, companies are now using their green credentials as a competitive tool when responding to tenders and bidding for contracts.

Furthermore, organisations are now requiring their suppliers to share their environmental commitment as a way of leveraging their efforts. Solar can be a low-cost and tangible demonstration of this commitment.

1KOMMA5° can also assist with integrating the benefits of solar power into the company’s internal and external communications including live solar performance displays in reception or on the company’s website.

A Cornerstone of Energy Reduction Programs

A Solar Energy System can be the cornerstone of an energy efficiency program that includes computer usage policies, lighting technology and other changes.

The presence and use of solar energy can have a powerful effect on employee behaviour, whether in the office, the warehouse or the factory floor as there is a direct link between the source of the power and its use.

Employee Retention

Research shows that many potential employees now include evaluating their future employers’ green credentials as part of their career decision-making process.

Their commitment to a company and their employment longevity is similarly linked to the employer’s commitment to social and environmental issues.

Solar is a high-profile, public commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of your company and this can assist in creating a culture that attracts the best calibre of employees.
