Small Business Solutions
eco-Kinetics provides expertise and capabilities in a diverse range of energy efficient products and innovative renewable energy technologies. As a leading renewable energy system integrator eco-Kinetics offers professional engineering solutions from concept planning and detailed design to supply, installation and commissioning.
Projects are developed on the basis of clearly defined and measureable financial and environmental return on investment figures. Our project management team ensures delivery on time and within budget.
We enable our customers to reduce green house gas emissions and protect the environment through affordable and sensible investments.
Corporate and larger solar power systems can deliver strong value in terms of Return on Investment and a contribution to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
One megawatt hour of solar generated electricity saves approximately one tonne of CO2 being released into earth's atmosphere.
For Small to Medium businesses Eco-Kinetics has designed solar PV systems starting at 10 kilowatts and upward to 99.4 kilowatt three phase systems.
Eco-Kinetics recommends efficient and sustainable energy management principles to increase the value of adopting renewable energy solutions. There are a multitude of ways energy can be saved and costs reduced by identifying waste and opportunities to do things more efficiently. We suggest an Energy Audit is a good way to commence certain projects where the best path to the solution is to find out where energy is being used and how.
Why Invest In Solar PV Systems
· A properly designed and installed PV solar system using quality components should return an operating life of
20 years + (excluding unforseen events)
· Energy offset - electricity produced by your solar system will be subtracted from your electricity bill
· Mitigate rising electricity prices for the long term
· Long-term annual income from Feed-In-Tariff for suitably sized systems (FIT apply in QLD, NSW, SA, WA & ACT)
· Increase the value of your property
· Asset depreciation over the life of the system plus additional tax incentives available for capital investment commitments before 31 Dec 2009
(50% deduction for small business, 10% for larger businesses)*
· Reduce your carbon foot print and receive RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) which can be sold into the market or equivalent amount can be
deducted from the initial capital cost - 5 times multiplier for first 1.5kWp of system
· Be part of the Governments Carbon Reduction scheme, which aims to reduce CO2 emission levels by 25% by 2020.
