FAQs
High-quality commercial solar panels last for 25 to 30 years, with most good manufacturers offering a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year performance guarantee. The top-tier Trina Vertex panels retain around 89.4% efficiency after 25 years. Combined with regular maintenance, high quality solar panels will serve your business for years to come.
The installation time for commercial solar panels varies depending on the system size and safety requirements. Small systems (under 50kW) typically take 1-2 weeks to install, while larger systems (100kW+) may take several weeks. The timeline can also depend on factors like DG (Distributed Generation) approvals and grid connection requirements. Working with a qualified installation team, such as Affordable Solar, ensures the entire process is efficiently managed, leading to a smooth and timely installation.
New Zealand businesses can access depreciation tax benefits, low-interest loans, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to finance solar. Some councils offer rebates, and businesses can sell excess energy back to the grid for 7-16 cents per kWh. Top solar companies, like Affordable Solar, provide various financing options, including CAPEX, PPA, or bank financing, to make solar more accessible.
Businesses can reduce energy costs by up to 50% or more with commercial solar. The exact savings depend on the system size and the business’s energy usage.
For example, Poulter Group cut energy costs by around 22% annually with a 488kW system, achieving full payback in just 5.2 years. On average, a 100kW system can achieve ROI in 4-7 years, depending on factors like energy consumption and financing options.
The cost of commercial solar systems varies based on factors such as system size, installation complexity, roof type, and financing options.
In New Zealand, typical costs for systems ranging from 100kW to 500kW can range from $130,000 to $600,000. Larger systems benefit from better economies of scale, reducing the cost per kW.
Businesses can also lower their upfront costs by using financing options such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), low-interest loans, or CAPEX investments, making solar more accessible and affordable.
Absolutely. Businesses can cut electricity costs by up to 50%, protect against rising power prices, and improve sustainability credentials.
A 100kW system can save a business $25,000+ annually, while larger systems achieve ROI in 4-7 years, depending on energy usage and financing.
Solar can also boost property value and make businesses more attractive to investors and eco-conscious customers. With PPAs, tax incentives, and low-interest loans, solar is now more affordable than ever.
