SOLAR POWER is the most cost efficient form of energy available to the commercial sector and this leads to noticeable and substantial improvements to a Businesses P & L.  Our advanced and sophisticated use of energy analytics and performance monitoring underscore our promise of system feasibility for SOLAR POWER in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.

Commercial premises are where SOLAR really "shines" (pun intended) as for most Commercial premises, the consumption of power is only between Monday to Friday during the day, whilst the SOLAR system is producing energy, therefore the SOLAR energy that is produced during the day is utilised and any overflow is sold to the grid.  Keep in mind that during the evenings there is often very little energy consumption in most Commercial premises (minimal watts consumed with an alarm, some computers idle and a refrigerator for example), therefore minimal energy is purchased from the grid.  Also, weekends there lies two (2) days per week to produce energy and sell to the grid, again with very little consumption.  This model can have Business owners enjoying quite a substantial Electricity Account credit each quarter. 

 

Finance for COMMERCIAL SOLAR is another great move... When you borrow money to spend, simply because you don’t have enough income, it’s bad finance. In other words, “If you can’t afford it don’t buy it!”  Now if you use borrowed money to make more money, then it’s good. As long as you make more profit than the interest you pay. For example, if a farmer borrows money to buy a tractor. And that tractor helps them harvest more crops. Then it’s good finance. 

But this is what finance should be used for. Finance is supposed to be used to re-allocate resources so investors can create wealth, and in-turn grow the economy.  Nowadays most finance is not really for investment. It’s for consumption.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s never black and white. There are some grey areas. Like financing a car under the business that you will use to drive to meetings.  It’s just that, that car is a decked out BMW, with heated leather seats, LCD screens in the headrest and a turbo. Hey! How else are we supposed to get from point A to point B?  The increased spending as a result of this “bad finance” still ends up growing the economy but not necessarily in the right way.   So why are we into financing commercial solar? Because it’s good finance. When you finance solar (the right way) you save more on your electricity bill then you pay on your finance.  The whole “if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it” saying doesn’t work in this space.  If you don’t have the money, as long as the deal is cash flow positive (real, genuine figures) that means “Doing Nothing” compared to “Financing Solar” is the WRONG decision.

Or on the other hand, if a business owner already has money sitting in their business. They should allocate their excess capital to whatever will get them the most return on their money.

If they are a business owner, you’d think the best ROI they can achieve will be investing in the business itself. Then they can make an investment on the side (solar) using borrowed money that’s easier to get then a standard business loan.
