Solar Power Your Business

Creating electricity from the sun can make a lot of sense for your business. Few things say “Green” to your customers as clearly as having panels on your roof converting the sun’s energy into clean electricity.

And with rising energy prices, an investment in solar power will only improve in value over time.

Alice Solar City can provide advice on the right type of system for your business. We can fill you in on the steps involved in 'going solar'. We can also highlight potential financial rebates and incentives.

For general information on how it works, visit our residential solar page here.

Business Solar Checkup

Alice Solar City is offering all businesses in Alice Springs a free 30 minute "solar checkup" at their premises. This involves an on-site inspection where we run through a checklist with you to identify the potential for solar for your organisation.
