Solar Bay offers commercial solar via two models. Solar as a Service where we pay for the infrastructure, and simply sell electricity. Or an outright sale model where the client pays for the solar system. In both cases we remotely monitor, maintain and make upgrade recommendations in perpetuity.
We're big on analytics, so when sizing up a commercial solar system we'll also consider the potential for manipulating your network tariffs. During this process we also see if power factor correction or improved energy brokering may help with total energy expenditure.
At present batteries are typically too expensive for most commercial solar systems. However if they aren't feasible now we're ready to upgrade all our solar systems when they become commercially viable. If a business operation requires significant heating or cooling then a thermal storage solutions will also be considered.
Often demand management can be implemented with minimal impact to your business. The financial benefits can be significant and bonus payments are typically made as demand response helps stabilise the grid, especially during heat waves.
We are a renewable energy fund with focus on commercial solar growth. Our model is funding, building and maintaining commercial solar systems throughout Australia and delivering value back to end energy users and building owners.
