At Gold Coast Solar Systems, our approach is both thorough and practical, ensuring that every detail of your energy use is considered to design the ideal solar solution.

Level 1 – Initial Evaluation:

We start by gathering key information about your current energy setup. This means reviewing your energy bills, identifying your provider and an inventory of the equipment you use. For example, in industries like healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality and retail, we examine the specific energy demands of your operations from HVAC systems, industrial machinery and production lines to lighting, kitchen appliances and even electric forklifts or vehicle charging stations. We also consider your operating hours and any other factors that influence your energy consumption.

Key data is then entered into our specialised satellite software which inspects and measures key areas of the premises, identifies where the sun rises and falls during the year and also identifies different shading potentials. A baseline system can then be initialised, designed and proposed.

Level 2 – In Depth Analysis:

With an initial overview in hand, we then dive deeper by obtaining detailed consumption data from your energy provider. This data shows us your energy usage patterns throughout the day and highlights your peak demand times. With these insights, our experienced engineering team then visit your premises for an onsite inspection of the structure, switchboards as well as to identify and familiarise themselves with the premises. From here we then input all data into our proprietary software that helps our engineers determine the most efficient solar solution for your specific needs.

Depending on your unique energy requirements, we determine whether a pure solar installation, solar combined with battery storage or off grid capabilities are the best approach to maximise your energy savings.

Finally, we present you with a comprehensive proposal that outlines the recommended solution, costs, anticipated savings and the expected return on investment typically around 1.7 years. This step by step process ensures that our recommendations are not only practical but also tailored to maximise both financial and environmental benefits for your business.
