Commercial Solar Power
Wauchope Solar has provided grid-connected solar PV solutions to over 20 commercial customers in Wauchope and Port Macquarie. These installations range in size from 10 Kilowatts to 99 Kilowatts with a total installed capacity of several megawatts.
Prior to installation we will analyse a recent electricity bill and conduct a site inspection. For larger installs we can also undertake a cost-benefit analysis. We offer the federal government rebate at market rates as a point-of-sale discount. For our commercial customers we also offer a two-year complimentary monitoring service to ensure the system is performing as expected. To provide this service a reliable internet connection to the inverter must be maintained.
