management including organising the Solar Credits rebate which is now open to commercial
clients.
Some clients may even be eligible for state feed in
tariffs depending on electricity usage, and in some cases solar electricity systems are tax
deductible. Installing solar power is a great way to protect your company
against rising energy costs, improve your green credentials in the marketplace
