Commercial Solar

Electricity prices have increased over the last few years, resulting in increased operational expenses for businesses. On the other hand, the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has declined, making solar for business an increasingly affordable option. By installing a PV system, you will be able to offset your electricity consumption and hedge against future price rises.

Solar PV systems vary in price and we strongly recommend that you do your research on the technology, installer and warranty to ensure you get the most out of your system based on your needs. You may wish to consider monitoring and after sales maintenance agreements for larger investments. The price of your solar PV system can be affected by a range of different factors, including:  government rebates and support schemes, location, number of panels, orientation of panels and whether tilt frames are required, type, quality and efficiency of panels etc

The table below provides an approximate guide on the price range for grid-connected solar PV systems in Australia’s major capital cities, bearing in mind the factors above. Government rebates such as Renewable Energy Certificates have already been factored into these figures and prices include GST.
