Solar for your tenants without reaching into your pocket

Residential uptake of solar in Australia has been phenomenal. Almost half of Australian homes now have rooftop solar.

However, the story is quite different in the commercial sector, and here’s why:

• Size: Commercial buildings are often much larger and consume significantly more power. This means the solar systems they require are bigger and far more expensive to install.

• Benefit: Many commercial properties are leased, so the cost of installation doesn’t directly benefit the property owner, making the investment less appealing.

• Know-how: Commercial solar projects are more complex. Grid connections, power supply requirements, and structural considerations all add to the difficulty and cost of installation.

The flipside is this: many companies renting these buildings have emissions targets to meet, and their customers are increasingly choosing to support businesses that are actively reducing their carbon footprint. Also, these companies are paying more and more each year to keep the lights on and continue about their business.

Solar Leasing and the Rooftop to Revenue program from Innolec can help.
