Understanding solar for businesses

Some of the largest companies in the world are benefiting from improved efficiency and greater returns offered by solar energy. Here we discuss what commercial solar entails and explain why it's so important for companies.

Solar panel efficiency

Here’s a look at what determines our panels' efficiency and why it's crucial for commercial applications.

Why invest in solar now?

Electricity prices continue to rise and so do your operational expenses. Fortunately, the cost of going solar has never been more affordable. When you install a solar system, you can offset your electricity bills to protect your business against future energy expenses.

Warranties and durability

When investing in solar solutions, you want assurances that your investment will stand the test of time. Robust warranties are not just a testament to our products’ longevity but a safeguard against unforeseen issues.

Technology that can grow with you

For business owners, solar offers modularity. Start with what you need today and expand as demand grows. Coupled with state-of-the-art inverters, the energy harvested is seamlessly integrated into your existing electrical grid.

Financial benefits

Embracing solar energy is not only an eco-conscious choice - it's a sound financial investment. Explore the myriad of tax incentives, operational cost reductions, and protections against volatile energy prices that businesses can capitalize on.

Tax incentives and grants

Many governments actively support the transition to solar energy by offering attractive tax incentives, grants, and subsidies.

Cutting your operational costs

Solar energy presents businesses with a tangible way to cut operational costs. By tapping into the sun's power, you can substantially decrease your business’ energy expenses each month.

Protecting your business against volatile energy costs

In today's dynamic energy market, prices are anything but static. With solar panels, companies secure a more predictable energy cost, allowing you to plan and budget with greater assurance, and shielding your business from sudden price surges.

Sustainability

Embracing solar energy is more than just a financial decision; it's a commitment to sustainability that can elevate your business in today's eco-conscious landscape.

Carbon neutrality

By transitioning to solar energy, you're not just making an environmental choice, but a statement. Every solar panel you install is a step towards reducing your organization’s carbon footprint, aligning you with global initiatives and positioning you as a champion of a carbon-neutral future.

Long-term economic stability

By producing your own power, you shield yourself from the whims of fluctuating energy costs, ensuring predictable operational expenses. Plus, there's an added benefit of being able to sell back excess energy, turning your sustainability efforts into an additional revenue stream.

Building efficiency

When you integrate solar installations into your architectural designs or business infrastructure, you're championing efficiency. Pair this with energy-efficient elements, and you create a structure that stands apart in both form and function.

Positive brand perception

Every choice you make tells a story about your business. When you opt for solar energy and prioritize sustainability, you send a clear message: your brand cares. In a market where consumers and stakeholders value ethical choices, your commitment to green energy will set you apart.

The results have been convincing. While other Austrian businesses are currently battling with rapidly increasing energy prices, since the beginning of the year, Besi’s electricity costs have fallen by 26 percent with a solar energy self-consumption rate of 99 percent.

(Solar energy) is definitely a trend we’re seeing in the industry, so we thought we’d just get on the front foot, and it was a no-brainer really once we started doing the figures,

Kane Michelini, Michelini Wines, Australia

We chose SunPower technology because we needed to maximise energy production on a restricted roof space and we needed panels that could be customised to the rooftop’s unique design. We also wanted a durable product that lasts longer than standard panels and is produced using sustainably sourced materials.
