For all our years in the solar industry, both here and in the USA, No Grid Solar have been fortunate to have worked alongside some of the best off grid engineers, energy management and solar system designers in the world. The energy crisis in Australia is so mired in misinformation, political intrigue and hidden agendas that it will take decades for a common sense approach to base load electricity generation.
The adoption of renewable power systems to achieve this end demonstrates an unbelievable ignorance as to how the mass supply of electricity needs to work. One of the two natural solutions to this growing problem for the consumer has been off grid solar systems but the issues of cost, equipment reliability, scalability and storage had made this unattractive.
Australians "enjoy" the most expensive electricity in the OECD world. Indeed we pay far more than many third world countries. This is not a situation that is likely to change for the better soon and, in fact, is about to get far worse.

Services
NGSW Group has been offering commercial solar consultancy, designing commercial systems and marketing off grid solar system packages for over 5 years and has always maintained a highly disciplined approach to designing solar systems that make sense for businesses. Firstly, it is important to understand the thresholds imposed by electricity transmitters on commercial solar installations.
One of the most confusing things for customers is understanding their electricity bill. Many larger users have been moved "to contract" by their retailer once their electricity usage exceeded a certain annual threshold. Under these circumstances almost half of their bill is assessed by an array of power charges that are measured in kVa, or reactive power.
Like any asset acquisition a business wants to see a Return on Investment and this is no different with solar. There are two types of investment: those that make you money and those that save you money and solar, almost always, falls into the latter. As such it competes for capital on the basis that it should save as much money as any competing asset acquisition could make.
There are typically THREE finance options available for funding commercial solar quotes of which two make sense and one doesn't. Please note, No Grid Solar does not offer any financial advice in the choice of options and you are advised to speak to your financial professional about which option is right for you.
Unlike many other solar suppliers NGSW Group does not have any particular bias toward system hardware. Technology is changing so rapidly but, here are just a few pointers that most customers would not be aware of. There are many panels promoted as Tier One (which is represented by the top 2% of panel manufacturers) but many of these have since slipped back into the Tier Two zone as newer panels come on to the market.

I was very pleased with the knowledge and the depth of information we were provided, especially seeing as all correspondence was needed to be done over the phone during lock down. They made it crystal clear on what was needed to see the results we were after. Very pleased with the cost and service. Thank you
