100kW Commercial Solar Case Study
Dentro Joinery was established in 2007 and is a specialist industry leader delivering joinery services to commercial clients. The business operates from new facilities in Prestons NSW with all new machinery.
With power bills of over $30,000 per year, Dentro asked SolarBright to propose a suitable commercial solar solution.
Installing a commercial solar system for your business is a straight forward decision. As with all business investment decisions it is all about the Return On Investment (ROI). When proposing a commercial solar system for a business, SolarBright examines the current power usage patterns, and design a system that suits their requirements.
Using an advanced satellite-based solar mapping software, SolarBright maps the solar panels onto the roof. The software takes into account the location, panel model, panel tilt and orientation to produce a report that gives the estimated output of the system allowing us to calculate estimated yearly savings and payback time.
