The right solution depends on your energy consumption, operating hours, available roof or land, existing infrastructure and longer-term plans. Solmatix begins by assessing these factors before recommending an appropriate system.

-
How do I know which renewable energy solution is right for my business?
The right solution depends on your energy consumption, operating hours, available roof or land, existing infrastructure and longer-term plans. Solmatix begins by assessing these factors before recommending an appropriate system.
-
Is my building or site suitable for commercial solar PV?
Many commercial roofs and land areas may be suitable, but structural condition, orientation, shading, grid capacity and site constraints must be assessed. Our team can undertake an initial review and site assessment.

-
Can solar PV significantly reduce our electricity costs?
The potential reduction will depend on the size of the system and how closely its generation matches your organisation’s electricity use. Businesses with consistent daytime demand are often well placed to use a high proportion of the electricity generated onsite.
