The Mount Warning Beverage Company, 200kW

In the heart of Kunghur, New South Wales, this leading beverage company was facing the challenge of exorbitant energy costs as a result of running 250kVA machinery up to 40 hours a week. Seeking a sustainable, long-term solution, they turned to us. Through strategic planning and implementation, a comprehensive 200kW solar system was integrated into their production facilities. This system will not only help the company to rein in their energy expenses and improve operational efficiencies, but it will also set an industry benchmark for sustainable practices too. Today, this system is producing a staggering 151kW of energy with 59.7kW being used for the factory and 91.1kW being sent to the grid. With over 5,000 screws, a full team and three weeks of hard work, we could not be prouder of this commercial installation.

Follow in the footsteps of these businesses going solar

By harnessing the power of the sun, commercial businesses unlock an array of benefits that fuel both their bottom line, and their commitment to sustainability. The synchronisation between solar production hours, and commercial energy consumption (e.g. the business tends to operate during the same hours that the solar system is producing energy), ensures maximum uptake of the energy and therefore cost savings.

With payback periods typically under two years, the initial investment can quickly transform into long-term financial gains. New tax incentives also allow businesses to claim an additional 20% tax deduction rate on the cost of a solar system, amplifying their returns. And, with the availability of financing options that allow businesses to have their system installed with $0 upfront costs, it’s possible to become cash flow positive from day one. Going solar isn’t just a smart energy decision, it’s a strategic move that empowers businesses to thrive while contributing to a brighter, more sustainable future.
