A family owned and operated business, Trend Tile wholesale ceramic tiles to retail tile stores across NSW and the ACT. The business operates 5 days a week from their warehouse in western Sydney. Prior to installing a 30kW solar system their power costs were approximately $12,000 per year, billed monthly through Blue NRG.
Installing a commercial solar system for your business is a straight forward decision. As with all business investment decisions it is all about the Return On Investment (ROI). When a business is considering a commercial solar system and approaches SolarBright, we examine the current power usage patterns, and design a system that suits their requirements.
Using an advanced satellite-based solar mapping software, SolarBright maps the solar panels onto the roof. The software takes into account the location, panel model, panel tilt and orientation to produce a report that gives the estimated output of the system allowing us to calculate estimated yearly savings and payback time.
