Jarrett Nissan is a South Australian owned
business that has been running for more
than 60 years. With their impressive
showroom floor and extensive service
business, their electricity bills in 2012
amounted to $20,000 with a usage of
60,000kWh.
What did we recommend?
A 30kW system which had an out of
pocket expense after rebates of $38,000
or a monthly rental cost of $779 and will
offset $922 per month on average. This is
a cash positive investment from year 1.

to pay for itself in under 4 years and bring over $300,000
in future electricity savings.... it was a very easy decision.”
