Why Solar Power is the Best Investment for Northern Territory Businesses
For businesses in the Northern Territory, solar power offers one of the best ways to combat rising energy costs. As commercial energy tariffs continue to increase, switching to solar can help businesses significantly reduce electricity bills while locking in predictable energy expenses for the long term.
At Delta NAE, we specialise in commercial solar systems that are tailored to the unique needs of businesses across the Northern Territory, offering both financial and environmental benefits.
Rising Commercial Energy Tariffs: Why Now Is the Time for Solar
Businesses in the Northern Territory are experiencing rising energy costs due to increasing commercial energy tariffs. By installing a solar power system, your business can gain control over energy expenses, reducing your reliance on the grid and avoiding further tariff increases.
Short Payback Periods: Less Than Three Years
Solar power isn’t just a smart investment—it’s also a fast one. Many commercial solar installations now offer payback periods of less than three years. This means that within two to three years, the energy savings generated by your solar system will have paid off the initial investment, after which you’ll benefit from decades of free, clean electricity.
STC Rebates: Over $40,000 in Savings for 100kW Systems
On top of fast payback periods, businesses can also take advantage of the Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STC) rebates, which provide substantial financial incentives. For a 100kW commercial solar system, businesses can receive over $40,000 in rebates through STCs until the end of 2024.
What Are STCs?
STCs are tradable certificates provided under the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). The larger the system, the more STCs you generate, which can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installation.
By combining these rebates with rising energy savings, businesses can achieve a quick return on their solar investment, making the decision to switch to solar even more attractive.
