How solar works to reduce electricity costs

Electricity is generated using the power of the sun

The electricity generated is consumed on site, reducing the amount of electricity you import from the grid which in turn reduces your electricity costs

Any excess electricity not used on site is exported to the grid, providing an extra revenue stream.

Solar is ideally suited to Australian conditions, and improvements in technology and increasing cost of grid sourced electricity mean solar can often provide inter ROI of 40% to 50%

Mistakes you MUST avoid When installing solar

Whilst it is true that “if you have a roof, you need to install solar”, many companies have achieved sum-optimum outcomes as a result of making one or more of the following mistakes:

1.

Buying a system that is too large for your needs. The larger the system the greater the upfront capital cost. Whilst this works for the solar installer, a system that is incorrectly sized simply results in you exporting more electricity at feed in tariffs that are worth much less than the value of the electricity used on site

2.

Accepting the claims around the return generated by solar provided by solar installers.

3.

Not ensuring they get paid for the electricity they export – in many cases you will need to negotiate a separate export payment agreement for any payments to occur – this is not an automatic process and many companies have received nothing for the significant amounts of electricity they have fed back into the grid

4.

Not taking full advantage of all the government financial support available to reduce the cost of solar.

5.

Not reviewing network tariff post solar install to see if they can move to a cheaper network tariff due to lower grid consumption

Installing solar should be one of the easiest wins your company ever achieves, working with Viridor guarantees this will be the case.
