Shops, offices, clinics and small workshops use most of their electricity during the day, when solar produces. That makes rooftop solar a strong fit: much of the power is used directly as it is generated.
Why daytime use matters
When solar power is used on site, it directly replaces units you would otherwise buy. Commercial electricity tariffs are often higher than domestic ones, which can make each solar unit worth more. Check your own tariff on your bill.
Sizing for a business
- Take an average of several monthly bills (units).
- Note your sanctioned load and connection type.
- Check usable, shade-free roof area.
- Use the Tenzor solar calculator for a first estimate.
Which inverter?
- Single-phase connection: Supernova 1-Phase (1 to 6 kW).
- Three-phase connection: Supernova 3-Phase (5 to 15 kW), with 150% DC overloading and 1000 V DC input.
- Frequent outages: Hypernova with Prime batteries for critical loads such as billing systems, lights and fans.
Practical points
- Monitoring through the SOLARMAN app helps you track savings.
- Plan safe roof access for cleaning.
- Ask about net-metering rules for your connection category.
