HCB Solar are an Australian company that have the experience to tailor your solar system to your energy needs, provide ongoing technical and warranty support, and reliable customer service. We currently service the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter region.
We Make solar work for you
Huge Dollar Savings
Many medium size businesses don’t use enough energy for discounted electricity and are paying enormous bills. If you open in the day and have some roof space, solar power systems are incredible to offset your heating, cooling and other forms of energy consumption.
You can save even more dollars with your solar installation by adding a solar battery into your solar power system! A commercial energy bill shows a line item for peak demand – this is a surcharge you pay to guarantee a certain power supply. With the use of battery storage for your solar energy, depending on your system size, you can reduce that surcharge by drawing from the grid in off-peak times only.
SOLAR POWER CREATES A CLEANER NEWCASTLE
Huge Carbon Savings
Energy discounts are great and important for business, but so is market appeal. Electricity from fossil fuels has a carbon cost, which can be offset by solar power and by making your business greener. Not only can you use your carbon reduction in your marketing, it’s also great advertising for your local customers to see solar panels on your roof!
