Synopsis

Our commercial clients are diverse and range from the army to medical centers, dentists, pharmacies, farms, and cane farms. With businesses operating during the day, producing power during the day and offsetting power bills makes perfect sense. 

LG solar panels are ideal for energy-dense businesses in Townsville, which may be small but use a lot of power per square meter. The LG panel can fit a lot of power into a small area and offset as much of the power bill as possible. Businesses need a hassle-free, risk-free install, and the LG panel is perfect for this. The average business paying 28-45 cents per kilowatt-hour can expect a payback on the installation of as little as 18 months to two years. Quality is everything, and KDP True North Solar is ISO accredited, ensuring quality manufacturing and installation to eliminate risks for both the customer and the company. Being a long-term play, solar panels are expected to last 25 years, and investing in high-quality panels, such as LG panels, is essential.

Our commercial clients are fairly varied. We've done work for the army, we've got medical centers, dentists, pharmacies, we've got farms, cane farms, powering pumps. So yeah, it's a vast, very varied clientele, with the commercial space. And the perfect thing about most businesses, is they're operating during the day, so it makes perfect sense. You're producing that power during the day, and you're offsetting those power bills during the day.

Some of the important factors for businesses, you know, in Townsville, you know a lot of them can be energy dense, so meaning that it might be a small building, but they're using a lot of power per square meter. So the LG solar panel makes perfect sense for that. We can fit a lot of power into a small area, and offset as much of that power bill as possible. And also, operating a business from these premises, they can't afford any downtime. They don't want anyone coming back and interrupting their operations. They just want a hassle-free, risk-free install, and we find the LG perfect. Yeah, so generally your return investment on solar with the business, the average business out there is paying anywhere from say 28 cents a kilowatt hour, to 45 cents a kilowatt hour. So we've had systems as low as a two year, 18 month payback on installation, so it's quite phenomenal. There isn't another investment in the world that you can get that sort of return. So it's quite remarkable.

Quality is everything, because quality leads straight to safety, so a lot of the instances out there with you know, water in isolators and faulty panels, and things like that, it all comes back to the quality. Quality of manufacturing and also the quality of the installation. So, we've just implemented ISO accreditation just this year. And that comes back to safety as well. We just need to make sure we eliminate all risks out there, both for the customer and for KDP True North Solar. Quality is paramount. Being solar such a long term play, people expect these to last 25 years. I mean, I've got panels in here that were brought back from jobs eight, nine years ago that, you know they're just not lasting the distance. So at the time, everyone thought they were high quality panels, but when you put them beside an LG panel, you know they're in a different price bracket.
