Zero downtime for commercial consumers

New developments in the commercial sector include safe and controlled battery storage for more effective cost savings and less reliance on the grid.  Product developments include the option for commercial customers to venture into solar with a grid tied solution which can be upgraded at a later stage to a hybrid solution (battery + solar + grid) or an off grid solution (battery + solar - no grid).  Initiate savings immediately with grid tie solutions which are affordable and will show an immediate impact on cost savings (power controller with grid tie inverter and solar panels).

Back up power for grid/Eskom blackouts

Grid tie systems will not supply solar power if there is an interruption in Eskom or grid power.  For sensitive equipment (servers, electronic equipment, medical equipment, CNC software controllers), we recommend commercial UPS with batteries as back up.  Alternatively, back up energy in the form of a suitably sized and generator will automatically generate power if the grid/Eskom goes down.  During solar hours, if solar production is higher than the load on the generator, the inverter will read the generator as producing "grid" power (the Hertz signal) and will hand over power production to solar again.  If your commercial inverter is a Hybrid inverter, the addition of a battery storage unit is required if you need to have consistent, uninterrupted power.  The cost of including safe and efficient, long lasting battery storage is 15% more per kWh than the grid is currently for commercial clients.  It helps to weigh the costs of maintaining generators, diesel prices and downtime when comparing costs of back up energy and the looming Eskom price increases.  A solar battery energy bank guarantees more independence from the grid, efficient use of solar and insurance against electrical outages and night time savings.

Finance for commercial solar

Commercial and Industrial customers qualify for attractive solar finance packages.  Specialised commercial solar funders are able to offer practical, cost efficient finance for large solar commitments, finance vehicles such as Pay only for the Power you use Agreements (PPA), or rent to own finance structures are in place to encourage the move to renewable energy sources.  Funders are a blend of financial experts and electrical engineering consultants - these experienced professionals will ensure that your Solar Engineering, Procurement and Construction Project (EPC) offering compares favourably against your historical electricity to produce and structure finance rates and terms of agreements which are as close to prime as possible.

Commercial solar funders vet their solar installers for both financial stability and registration with local regulatory bodies, finance terms vary from 60 months to 12 years.  For more information on your return on investment from solar, click here for sales support.
