Why Commercial Solar in NT

Commercial solar is perfectly suited to Darwin and the NT. Some of Australia’s highest solar resources (sunlight hours) mean your business can achieve significant energy generation from solar. With hospitality and tourism being some of the region’s biggest economic contributors, businesses in these industries are constantly spending large sums of money on electricity from the grid. While it has the potential to greatly diminish these usual energy costs, there are a few other very strong reasons why solar is an attractive option for organisations in the Northern Territory:

Minimizes Reliance on the Grid

With a lot of businesses in the Northern Territory operating in relatively remote areas, it can often be challenging being completely reliant on local electricity providers. By having a commercial installation, businesses are able to self-generate, which means your business can have greater independence.

Lower Electricity Spend

Solar can cover a large portion of your electricity bill. With solar’s peak generating time being during daylight hours, business are able to offset their typical electricity costs by offsetting their daytime use via the electricity generated from solar panels. On top of the immediate lowering in spend on electricity, this independence from grid consumption will act as a shield against rising local electricity prices.

Cost Effectiveness & Government Backing

There are a number of options available to businesses in Darwin and the NT which allow for a commercial solar installation with very little, or no, capital expenditure. On top of the very low cost of implementation, under the Federal Renewable Energy Target (RET), the government provides businesses subsidies, or ‘solar rebates’, which can pay for up to 50% of a complete solar installation. Solar rebates also have the potential to provide businesses who utilize solar a continued revenue stream.
