How much electricity does your business use and when does it use it?

Solar will provide the best financial returns for businesses with high daytime electricity use. This is because you will maximise the value of your system by directly using the majority of the power generated on site.

For businesses who use most of their electricity during the day, when the solar panels are generating the most power, savings can be significant.

Understanding your business’s electrical energy profile is a great way to start. Ask your retailer if they can provide this information for each half hour of the last year. Also consider whether you could shift more of your existing electricity consumption to the daytime if you installed solar.
