Why does commercial solar work so well for Manufacturing businesses?

Your manufacturing business will require a dependable and cost-effective energy source to ensure that your business runs smoothly, avoiding any financial loss.

But, besides the financial benefits of using commercial solar, your business will be seen as one that practices sustainability.

By adhering to your corporate responsibility to use industrial solar panels, you will automatically reduce your carbon footprint, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and meet corporate sustainability goals.

Night-time manufacturing usage
Your manufacturing business might need to run throughout the night. With industrial solar panels, your business can use the energy generated during the day to power night-time usage.
Ask us how we can help

Manufacturing facilities are often home to large, power-hungry machinery, some of which may only operate sporadically while some operates day-in/day-out.

These businesses often operate on large sites with extensive roof space which can make them an ideal candidate for PV panels to help cover the baseline load alongside storage to assist with peaks and surges.

Sustain Commercial Solar will take all of this into account when specifying a system and ensure that the client is presented with a proposal that will provide long-term financial benefits by significantly reducing grid dependence.

We installed a 37kW PV system with battery storage for Clifford Springs which has reduced their grid dependence by over 60% while offsetting over 8,000KG of CO2 annually.
