Andrew’s Collision Auto Repairs, located in Ingleburn, NSW, specialises in repairing vehicles involved in road accidents. Whether it’s a major collision or a minor dent, Andrew’s Collision has built a strong reputation for providing top-notch repairs to all kinds of automotive damage. However, like many businesses, the rising cost of energy was becoming a growing concern, especially the high energy demands of the repair shop. From running heavy machinery to the consistent use of lights and equipment, the shop’s electricity bills were steadily increasing.
Understanding the need for long-term savings and sustainability, Andrew’s Collision Auto Repairs made the decision to switch to solar energy. By adopting solar power, the company reduced its energy expenses and contributed to a cleaner, greener environment.
RK Solar – The Ideal Partner for the Installation
In researching potential solar providers, Andrew’s Collision found RK Solar to be the ideal partner for their installation. With over 15 years of experience in the solar industry, RK Solar has built a reputation for its exceptional customer service, reliability, and cost-effective solutions. It was clear that RK Solar could offer the necessary expertise to design and install a high-performance solar system to meet the business’s needs.
Why Andrew’s Collision Installed Solar
Andrew’s Collision Auto Repairs noticed that energy costs were cutting their profits. Every day, they had to use large machines, paint booths, and other equipment that required a lot of power. With energy bills getting higher and higher, it became clear that they needed to find a way to lower these costs to keep the business running smoothly.
As electricity prices kept rising, it was becoming harder to control their expenses. That’s when they decided to make the switch to solar energy. By installing solar panels, Andrew’s Collision was able to generate their own power, reducing their reliance on the grid. This gave them more control over their energy costs, helping them save money in the long run.
Switching to solar allowed Andrew’s Collision Auto Repairs to take control of its energy future, resulting in lower operational costs and long-term energy independence. By reducing their reliance on fossil fuels, they could contribute to reducing carbon emissions, aligning with their commitment to sustainability.

Key Benefits and Features of the Solar System
Energy Production and Savings – The 51.68kW solar system is designed to produce 73.6MWh of energy annually, which translates into an average daily production of 206.1kWh.
The shop uses large machines, paint booths, and various tools throughout the day, so this energy production ensures it can rely on its own power, drastically reducing the need to purchase expensive grid electricity.
This production is more than sufficient to meet the daily energy demands of Andrew’s Collision Auto Repairs, allowing them to significantly reduce their reliance on grid electricity.
With the annual savings of $16,797, the business can reinvest these funds back into operations, further enhancing its profitability.
The shift to solar not only helps cut operating expenses but also provides long-term financial stability by locking in energy costs, protecting the business from fluctuating electricity prices in the future.
Return on Investment (ROI) – The system offers 31.3% return on investment, with a payback period of just 3.2 years. This means Andrew’s Collision will recover their initial investment in just over three years and continue saving money for the system’s expected lifespan of 25 years or more. This ROI makes the solar system a smart financial decision, providing Andrew’s Collision with both immediate and long-term savings.
Environmental Impact – By reducing their dependence on the grid, the solar system will help offset 98.2 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.This reduction in carbon emissions supports environmental sustainability, as the business moves towards a greener energy that has a significantly lowered environmental footprint. This shift aligns with efforts to combat climate change, helping to protect the environment for future generations.
Energy Independence – The solar system provides Andrew’s Collision Auto Repairs with greater energy independence, reducing exposure to the volatility of electricity prices. The system ensures the business can continue its operations without interruption during peak demand times.
By switching to solar, the business has positioned itself for long-term growth, profitability, and sustainability.
