Green your Business with Solar - 10th May 2010

Climate change is one of the biggest and most challenging issues we face today. Companies will need to consider reducing their carbon footprint to assist Australia towards its climate change objectives. As an environmentally conscious business owner, you can do your part to help the planet by investing in solar energy. By purchasing a photovoltaic grid connect solar system, you can reduce your carbon footprint, help the planet and reduce the running costs of your business.

Solar power makes financial sense. It saves you money by hedging against rising utility rates and diesel fuel prices to provide power for your business for a lower cost. Importantly, the Australian Government has set a target to achieve a 20% share of renewable energy in Australia’s electricity mix by 2020. In addition, companies will be required to embrace the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and solar will be a critical part of the solution for businesses.

When you install a solar system you will:

-       Reduce your power bill;

-       Offset your carbon emissions toward carbon neutrality; and

-       Be seen as a “green” company to your customers.

The green power produced on your premises is used by your company. In addition, you have the potential to export your excess power produced back to the electricity grid and gain a further credit from your electricity supplier. Quite simply, it’s like having your own mini power station!

There are a multitude of reasons why solar is a clever investment for your business, and outlay costs have never been so low! Solar systems have recently become very affordable, and commercial solar systems are eligible for huge Government incentives under the Federal Government’s Solar Credits Scheme.
