Solar Energy Systems
Solar energy can help to stabilise energy costs and lower your carbon footprint.
The required space depends on your energy needs and the efficiency of the solar panels. On average, you’ll need about 100 square feet per kilowatt (kW) of installed capacity.
Yes! Solar panels can be installed on flat roofs using mounting systems that tilt the panels at an optimal angle to capture maximum sunlight.
Savings depend on factors like your current electricity usage, local utility rates, system size, and available incentives. Most businesses see significant reductions in their energy bills, with return on investment typically achieved within 3-7 years.
Most solar panels come with a warranty of 25-30 years and can last even longer with minimal degradation in efficiency.
Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days but at reduced efficiency. At night, they don’t produce electricity, which is why battery storage is often paired with solar systems for continuous power.
Battery Storage
Battery storage systems store excess energy produced by your solar panels during the day for use during peak demand hours, at night, or during power outages. This helps reduce reliance on the grid and lowers demand charges.
Most commercial-grade batteries last 10-15 years and come with warranties to ensure performance over that period.
If your batteries are depleted, your system will switch back to drawing power from the grid, ensuring uninterrupted electricity.
Yes, battery storage provides backup power during outages, allowing critical operations to continue running without interruption.
Costs, Incentives, and Financing
The cost varies depending on the size of your system and the type of batteries you choose. We provide custom quotes tailored to your business's energy needs and goals.
Yes! Many regions offer tax credits, rebates, and accelerated depreciation which can significantly reduce your upfront costs.
No, however we have partner organisations that can provide this.
ROI typically ranges from 3-7 years, depending on electricity rates, system size, and available incentives. After the payback period, your business can enjoy years of free or reduced-cost energy.
Installation and Maintenance
Installation time varies depending on the system size and complexity. Typically, commercial projects take 1-6 months, including permitting, design, and installation.
We plan installations to minimize disruption to your operations. Our team works closely with you to schedule installation during convenient times.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, typically just occasional cleaning to remove dirt or debris. Battery systems may need periodic software updates and inspections, which we can provide as part of a maintenance plan.
Technical and Grid Integration
Yes, but it depends on your energy usage and the size of your battery system. Most businesses remain grid-tied for additional reliability and to take advantage of net metering.
Net metering allows you to sell excess electricity generated by your solar panels back to the grid, earning credits that offset your energy bills.
Yes, our systems are designed to be scalable, allowing you to add more panels or batteries as your energy needs grow.
If you have battery storage, your system can provide backup power during outages. Without batteries, your solar system will shut off for safety reasons during grid outages.
Getting Started
We provide a free site assessment and energy audit to evaluate your roof space, energy usage, and local regulations to determine if solar and battery storage is right for you.
Contact us for a consultation. We’ll guide you through the process, including site assessment, design, permitting, installation, and connection to the grid.
Any business with high energy consumption or peak demand charges can benefit, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail stores, schools, and office buildings.
We offer end-to-end solutions, including custom system design, high-quality equipment, expert installation, financing options, and ongoing support to ensure your system delivers maximum value.
