ACA QLD MEMBER OFFERS

Australian Childcare Alliance Queensland (ACA Qld), supporter member X-Alt Solar will provide the following member only offer to ACA Qld members installing solar through us...

• Free and no obligation analysis and assessment of the potential savings and environmental impact from solar for your centre(s)
• Quoted options for each centre will include a "budget" system and an "A-class" option, including finance options for each;
• For orders placed up to the end of June 2020, X-Alt Solar will offer ACA Qld members a free extended warranty on the inverter used in the installation (between 5 and 8 years depending on the inverter)
• With each system installed, X-Alt Solar will supply a free "dummy" inverter and a panel that can be used in environmental and sustainability education within the centres (note: subject to stock availability)
• X-Alt Solar will offer all ACA Qld member centres a 20% discount off our standard pricing for the first installation booking and 15% discount on every subsequent installation provisionally booked before the end of May 2020
• Up to 6 months initial repayment delay for select clients under select finance arrangements

NOTE: Whilst not a part of the special offer, all centres can (potentially) qualify for the instant asset write off (IAWO) on systems installed and operational prior to the end of June 2020. This is for outright purchase transactions or under chattel mortgage (finance). Combined with a 3 month payment delay for example, this could result in an example scenario similar to the following:

Installation: June 2020

System value: $23,443 + Gst (financed under chattel mortgage over 5 years)

Misconceptions about Solar

Its expensive...Wrong: prices are dropping and solar is at its most affordable level we've seen. You will struggle to find a Return on Investment that rivals what you get from solar.

It has a large capital expenditure that makes it unfeasible to invest in...Wrong: We can use various financing models like PPA, Lease/Rental or Chattel Mortgage to install without ANY outlay at all on your behalf. The electricity savings pay for your system repayments. Usually there are sufficient savings to then have money left over to go back into your budget for other uses. The PPA model is becoming increasingly popular...it is where you purchase the power from the solar to whatever extent it replaces the power from the grid at a fraction of the price you pay your electricity retailer. Savings under this model can amount to $1000's per annum without any Capex, ownership or maintenance concerns. We work through all these options with you at time of assessment.

We don't own our premises therefore we cannot have solar: Wrong...the aforementioned financing models, particularly PPA or  Lease/Rental, can be very favourably structured to suit both tenant and landlord

Solar is not safe: Wrong again. The Clean Energy Council and Clean Energy Regulator oversee the installation of solar systems in Australia as well as the quality of product sold and the quality of the installation. Solar product goes through extensive testing before being approved for sale on the Australian market under the required standards. Plus many of the products we install (e.g.Solar Edge) have unique safety features.

Once installed, we have very little way of knowing how our system is performing and what benefit we are deriving from it. Again, not correct. Apart from seeing the benefit via reduced electricity bills, each system we sell has extensive monitoring accessible via portals for you to view your ongoing system performance. X-ALt SOlar will continue to manage your system performance with you. Ours is not a "set and forget" model...we like to work with our clients ongoing.
