WHY GO SOLAR
High Return on Investment
We tailor a solar power solution specifically for your business' needs and budget. Every solar project is treated uniquely and designed to pay themselves back for our clients in as little as 3 years (approximately 30% R.O.I).
Generous Government Rebates
Currently, the government offers generous rebates for businesses who install solar power. This rebate helps cut the up-front capital for the installation by as much as 40% on systems under 100kW.
Tax Benefits
Solar has great tax benefits for small businesses. Solar power systems fall under the simply depreciation rule with a 15% deductable in the first year then 30% the following years.
Social Advantage
In a recent study by Green Brand Survey they found that 81% of Australians "say it is very or somewhat important that companies are environmentally friendly and would prefer to buy from them than others". Promoting solar can increase your potential clients.
Environmental Edge
By installing a solar system, the energy generated has a direct correlation to your business' carbon footprint. A 50kW system generates enough energy to reduce the emissions of 90 tonnes of carbon annually, that's equivalent to taking 32 medium sized cars off the road.
