Why daytime electricity demand matters
Match your solar system to how your business actually runs.
Savings start with the way a business consumes energy, not simply how many panels will fit on the roof.
Size to real operating hours
A factory with weekday use differs from a 7-day coolroom.
Measure returns, not panels
Assess usage profiles, tariffs, export limits and payback.

What changes the outcome?
- How much electricity the business uses during the day
- Whether the site operates 5, 6 or 7 days per week
- Roof condition, orientation, shading and available space
- Tariffs, demand charges, exports, installation and upkeep
Illustrative figures only. Real proposals should show annual kWh generation, self-consumption, tariff assumptions, system costs and estimated payback. Not an actual project, not a Pratt quote, and not a guaranteed outcome. Every site is assessed individually.
