Case Study - Come off demand billing structure

Commercial Solar Case Study with before and after bill

This case study shows how we are able to design a solar system to not only offset the majority of the daytime power consumption but also bring the customers usage below 100MWh per annum. By doing this the customer’s billing structure changes and they save thousands on expensive network and demand charges typical of a large users power bill.

For this particular example the customer switched energy retailers to Energy Australia who at the time of writing are offering a 16.1c/kWh solar buy back rate (feed in tariff). 

The System Installed

  • 33kW
  • 110 x 300w Q Cells Q Peak German Engineered Solar Modules
  • 1 x Fronius Eco 27.0-3 Austrian made three phase solar inverter
  • 1 x 3 Phase Fronius Smart Meter
  • Customer Price after rebate: $34,000
The client had the option to finance for $695.92 per month over 5 years with no deposit on a lease to own structure or chattel mortgage. Baring in mind the client is now achieving monthly savings of around $1,850 per month the investment would have been positively geared, cash flow positive and they would be in front by over $1,100.00 per month without any upfront costs what so ever.
