A business that has higher electricity prices will see the best returns from an investment in solar. You’ll need to consider how much your business pays for electricity at different times of the day and year, as this affects overall savings.

For businesses with higher energy consumption, it’s also likely that there will be more specific charges itemised on your bill. This will include lines charges for electricity transmission and distribution. The magnitude of these costs, and whether or not they are fixed, can have a significant influence on the financial payback of commercial-scale solar.
