Solar Power for Business
Today, in Australia, more than 90% of power generation is provided by coal or gas, and the balance of less than 10% is provided from a range of renewable sources. Business leaders from both the corporate and government sectors are turning to solar power to reduce their carbon footprints, manage their energy needs and walk the talk on renewable energy.
Most businesses are increasingly aware of the need to demonstrate responsible behaviour with regards to environmental issues. With a solar power solution, you can achieve your environmental aims while also enjoying financial benefits. With electricity prices forecast to increase, deploying a solar power solution to feed green power back into the electricity grid is a practical way of managing these rising costs over time.
Three main benefits include:- Government rebates may reduce the upfront cost of the infrastructure for your chosen solar power solution.
- Feeding renewable energy back into the electricity grid will hedge against the rising cost of your energy consumption and deliver a positive contribution to your energy management plan.
- Having a solar power system will also achieve environmental benefits reducing your organisations environmental footprint.
A Solar array installed on the roof of your business, factory or commercial offices is backed up by an inexhaustible energy resource from the sun. With no carbon emissions and a very low embodied energy footprint, solar power can provide renewable electricity to fully or partially power your organisation and assist in offsetting CO2 emissions. Today, many large-scale solar power arrays are in operation in Australia and around the world.
The Power Partners network has been serving the needs of commercial business for many years. With more than 80 independent members of the Power Partners network across Australia, they have extensive experience in a range of commercial solar power deployments.
