We designed and installed the first approved building Integrated solar system in Australia and are still at the forefront with our Solar car Park systems.

Renewable Infrastructure – Solar Farm investment

Australia has a vibrant landscape for Solar Farm Investment. The opportunity exists for new Grid

Supportive renewable power plants until 2019. The demand quota for new plants is expected to

be met within1.5 years.

Solar Farms from 5MW to 100 MW are in demand by the Power retailers to satisfy their Renewable

energy commitments. Retailers purchase the power under contracted Power Purchase agreements.

Australian Solar Farms provide a long term, socially and environmentally acceptable investment.

Warranted panel production lasts for 25 years at which point the farm is still operating at 75% capacity.

Renewable Generator Approvals

Our commercial system capabilities include: Large scale roof top and ground mount power plants, High Kva water pumping offsets for Agriculture. Hybrid Bio Diesel, Solar with Automated multi power source controllers. Civil and electrical engineering, custom framework engineering, data acquisition and base load mapping, and financial analysis. Options for Solar leasing if you just want cheaper power.

Renewable power generation is the cheapest form of daytime power. To consider however installing onsite power systems, you first need approval for the system from the Electricity Network, council and building compliance.

Until the Approval is granted, it is not possible to lock in a system size or have faith in a quoted solution provided.

The Distributor needs to assess your engineering, design and grid injection size relevant to their network in that area, The Network rulings will then require modification of the sizing and stipulate network protection features – all of which changes your outcome, system size, price and return on investment, making any quote before Approvals irrelevant.

Blue Tongue Solar provides this service so your company and is able to provide a brief for quotes on system, procurement, project management and installation, along with having an accurate assessment of the benefit will be to your company.

The cost of an RGA package Is directly deducted from the pricing of an end solution provider so there is no extra cost to this stage. Owning your approval package ensures you stay in full control of the outcome prior to the main financial commitment.

Most important solar questions

• How can I dramatically reduce expenditure?
• Is solar power the answer for me?
• Where should I start or who do I to believe?
• What size system do I need?
• How much should it cost?
• What is the best equipment to use?
• Who should install it?
• What benefit would I get?
• Is the rebate still available?

Let us help you get the right answers.. An incorrectly sized or installed system will not give you the results you expected.  With our extensive industry experience we have unmatched Industry knowledged..  We are not a sales company, but work on your side in order to ensure you get the most cost effective, system possible.  We operate Australia wide and  provide advisory consulting services to some of the biggest pv and commercial enterprises in the country, although you won’t see our name in their documentation.

We can either run a total project from concept to completion or you can select the modules you require at different stages to suit your timeline.  The primary modules include:

• Feasibility assessment
• Solution recommendation
• Cost estimate assessment
• Sourcing & procurement
• Network compliance and applications
• Installation management (with your installer or we can recommend a team)
• Certification documentation
• Rebates

Solar Power is good for business

• It can dramatically reduce electricity expenditure
• High government rebates still available
• ROI 26% (av)
• Promote “Green” business
• Deductable benefits
• 2016 update High rebates still available. up to $66,000 for 100kw

Solar power is no longer “alternative”, but a mainstream, reliable power option, however an incorrectly sized & installed systems may have little cost benefit.  We are experts at designing the most cost effective solutions for businesses so you know what to expect.

ROI – not the full picture for Solar

Standard ROI calculations are not quite relevant to solar – as you are spending the money anyway on current bills – so it’s a diversion of funds from the power retailer to you paying off your own generation plant.

Solar is an opperational cost so loans and leases are tax deductable.  Commercial systems commonly see a 5 year or better Return on Investment, however these systems with low rate solar loans only now available, can be set up as cash positive meaning that there is no outlay, you are paying off a system and saving money.compared to your power bills. This is not therefore an investment, it does outline the opportunity of choosing the highest quality components and management team to design and manage your install. Without the high rebates we are now seeing, most systems would be cash neutral or slightly cash negative untill the system is paid off.

BTS News: Power companies trying to talk us out of solar…

A response from *ed energy recently for one of their customers enquiring about solar for their new property:

” Due to the paltry 6c feed in tarrif, it’s just not worth it now, stay with mains electricity”

Off course they are going to talk us out of solar. each 5kw system generates 7,000kw per year that they can’t charge us for, so who should we be listening to ?

Solar systems are seeing 25% to 30% ROI right now and are designed not to export to the grid, so the Feed in Tariff rate is not even factored in for the Return on Investment. There is no need to even choose cheap or low quality systems to still achieve an amazing return for your outlay. The cost of providing your own power with Solar overtime is around 6c/kW/hr. This is not indexed of course and not subject to price rises, so represents a lower and more stable cost of production to your business.

How much have our bills gone up in the last ten years ?

Lynne Chester from the Sydney University has tallied the figures in her Electricity Privatisation white paper:  Victoria has risen 103%, Nsw 115% and Queensland 125%. At these rates, Victoria could be at 60c/kw within ten years which is aligned with the power rates in many Asian country’s, and where our government wants us to be for tax revenue.   It’s our choice to reduce our own cost of living, or to increase retailer profits and support burning brown coal – which is what we are doing every time we pay a power bill in Victoria.
