Solar is now the largest source of stability for business owners who don’t want to be penalised for energy market chaos.
Businesses with day time operations are typically able to offset 50-60% of their peak energy usage, meaning a consistent flow of electricity can be secured at a set rate in the short term, with free day time power in the medium to long term.
In a competitive manufacturing environment, a business that saves $25,000 on peak electricity can use that excess cash flow to gain a competitive edge over its rivals – especially if that same amount of energy will cost $35,000 in 18 months’ time.
Choice Energy’s solar clients reinvest their electricity savings on inventory, payroll, equipment upgrades, etc. while the competition have to budget for double digit increases every year.
The days of CPI electricity price increases disappeared with the carbon tax of 2012, and businesses that have adopted solar are cashing in big time on their competition.
