I have so much admiration for my friend. She started her own business all by herself. She did get a bit of financial help from her family to get started, but aside from that she is totally self made. I’m in total awe of all her achievements. On top of the success with her business, she also continues to operate in a way that minimises environmental harm.
She recently told me that she’s getting solar panels for her business. I knew nothing about how solar panels worked, I’d heard about some of the benefits of commercial solar power in Melbourne, but it’s not something I entirely understood. I asked her to tell me more about her solar panel plans. Perhaps this is something I could consider for my home?
To provide context, my friend spent time breaking down all the costs she faces each month. I was so surprised to hear that she was hardly making any profit. I thought everything was going well for her! I didn’t expect to hear that rising inflation costs meant that she had to really rethink how she was going to power her business. This then led to the discussion of solar panels. Apparently solar panels are powerful enough to provide enough energy to run machines and tools. My curiosity didn’t end there. How does someone know how many panels they need? Well, get this. There’s a very accurate solar panel quote estimation tool online that can tell you how much the whole project would cost. Isn’t that insane? Technology is becoming so advanced. Apparently all she needed to do was enter the size of her building, and a few other details, and within minutes she had a quote!
Two months after the installation, there was a huge power outage in the commercial district where my friend runs her business. She was one of the only businesses that were able to continue running. Now, I don’t understand how it all works, but she explained to me that her machines were running on energy that had been stored in the solar panels. Blew my mind!
