Solar power and Kiwi businesses go hand-in-hand. By installing solar panels on your commercial buildings, the savings on power bills will be seen immediately.
The solar installation will likely raise your buildings’ property values. And, you can attract new business and meet sustainability targets by taking on eco-conscious, innovative technologies like solar.
But is it the right move for your business? In this blog, we dive a bit deeper.
By asking the right questions, you’ll have more assurance that solar will benefit your operations in the long run.
Here are a few of those right questions to ask (and why they're important):
A solar panel system can be an excellent business tool for higher productivity and profits. Here are some key advantages that NZ businesses are seeing with solar:
1. Solar can help slash power costs from the moment your system is installed.
By using NZ's abundance of free sunlight for energy, your business can become less dependent on the grid. Your operations, therefore, continue at a lower cost, while your solar system supplies power for operating your business - lighting, heating, machinery and more.
2. Solar power can help you manage cash flow better.
NZ power costs are on the rise with a lot of instability from quarter to quarter, so it’s smart to consider sustainable options that help you budget with confidence. Lower monthly costs from solar can make for a healthier cash flow and free up capital for other business needs.
3. Solar makes your business cutting-edge and future proofs your operations.
By lowering your carbon emissions with solar, you’re helping preserve clean air, water, and other natural resources. Being an early adopter will help stabilise your power costs for the next 20-25 years or so at a fairly low rate. Leasing options and financing can make solar a cash-neutral — or even cash-positive — investment from day one.
4. Solar helps you meet sustainability goals and get attention.
More modern job seekers, as well as consumers, will choose to align with innovative companies that lead the way with environmentally friendly practices. By promoting sustainability with solar, you’ll prove your business is leading the way towards a greener New Zealand.
5. Installation is a breeze with the right experts.
Having the right solar experts on hand makes all the difference.

By keeping a few important considerations in mind, you can determine whether now is the right time to add solar to your commercial buildings. The savings, higher property values, and reputation as an eco-friendly business are just a few great business benefits to look forward to.
