The increasing prices of electricity, decreasing cost of technology, and continued political incompetency are urging a growing number of Australian businesses to spend money on solar energy systems in Perth, WA, mainly off-grid solar systems, including solar batteries.
According to the Clean Energy Regulator forecast, the commercial solar panel industry will grow fourfold and can provide large-scale power stations with huge electricity production capacity.
Still, the question is, how many businesses and enterprises have completely changed to off-grid? And whether it’s worth it?
As discussed at the Smart Energy Conference in Sydney, there is no shortage of small and medium businesses in Australia that are seriously planning to go completely off-grid. Homeowners are already on board with residential solar systems, but what about businesses?
Linked Group Services, located in Mackay, North Queensland, falls into that category.
However, different trade services companies that are focusing on developing sustainable energy solutions for mining, agriculture, and rails have taken a leap and are well in the process of transforming to the off-grid.
As per a study, making this decision is easy. One of the most important reasons is complete electricity independence and it’s not only from the point of view of prices or issues in network dependability but also from the infinite policy confusion hidden under it all.
The grid power is somewhat irregular in Mackay, therefore if you want to develop your own manufacturing unit, it’s important to power it with the help of tried and tested technology.
If your business has approximately 80 to 100 employees, then getting the right solution to take your business off-grid isn’t very difficult.

Conclusion:
Vista EC wants to help SMEs of every size so that they can have their own control over their energy usage as well as security. But before that, the companies need to identify their energy expenses with the grid. We’re trying to show that it’s not required to connect to the grid. The main reason behind connecting to the grid is to sell the extra energy to the utility grid.
We’re confident that more and more SMEs will take inspiration from companies like Linked Group and progress themselves. Thus going off-grid will become a new norm for SMEs!
