Why Choose Solar for Your Business – Unlocking Cost Savings, Sustainability, and Energy Independence
DD Stone is a well-established company that was founded in 1995 through the merger of two companies, Metro Marble & Granite Pty Ltd and Dongin Stone Sydney Pty Ltd. Since its inception, DD Stone has become a well-known supplier of premium stone products, including items like kitchen benches, vanity tops, fireplaces, flooring, wall cladding, staircases, and other specialised items like shop fittings and tables.
The company specialises in stone cutting, which is a highly energy-intensive process. This means that running the machinery and operations for stone cutting requires a large amount of electricity. Over time, the rising cost of electricity became a heavy financial strain on the company. Commercial electricity rates are typically higher than residential rates, and for a business that consumes a lot of energy, this meant the cost of electricity was becoming unsustainable for DD Stone.
Faced with these financial pressures, coupled with the economic crisis affecting businesses in the industry, DD Stone looked for ways to reduce its energy expenses. After evaluating various options, the company turned to solar energy as a cost-effective solution to reduce its reliance on expensive grid electricity. Solar energy offered a way to lower their energy costs by utilising the power of the sun, which is a free and renewable resource.
What We Did for DD Stone – A Comprehensive Solar Solution Tailored to Their Needs
At RK Solar, we are proud to have been the trusted partner in DD Stone’s decision to transition to solar energy. Our strong reputation for high-quality installations and exceptional customer service played a key role in their choice. Furthermore, RK Solar’s CEC (Clean Energy Council) “Approved Solar Retailer” accreditation offered additional confidence, ensuring the solar system would be installed to the highest industry standards. This accreditation guarantees the system’s efficiency, longevity, and reliability, reinforcing DD Stone’s trust that they would receive the best solution and service available.
RK Solar successfully installed a 36.48kW solar system for DD Stone, equipped with top-tier Trina Solar panels and a reliable SolarEdge inverter. These two industry-leading brands were carefully chosen for their proven track records of innovation, performance, and durability.
The Trina Solar panels, known for their high efficiency and long-lasting performance, are designed to capture as much sunlight as possible, maximising energy production even on cloudy days. This is especially important for DD Stone, given the high energy demands of the stone cutting process, which requires large amounts of electricity to power machinery and other equipment.
The SolarEdge inverter ensures that the energy produced by the Trina Solar panels is converted into usable electricity for DD Stone’s operations with optimal efficiency. As a key component, the inverter helps boost system performance and reduce energy losses, further enhancing the overall effectiveness of the solar setup.
This solar system is designed to meet DD Stone’s significant energy needs, providing reliable power for their machinery and day-to-day operations while significantly reducing their dependence on grid electricity. The result is not only lower energy costs but also a more sustainable and efficient energy solution for the company, delivering significant cost savings over time.

Key Benefits and Features
1.Significant Energy Production and Savings
The 36.48kW solar system installed at DD Stone is designed to generate an annual solar production of 52MWh, which is equivalent to an average of 142kWh of energy each day.This is a considerable amount of energy, allowing DD Stone to reduce its reliance on grid electricity. DD Stone’s operations required significant electricity from the grid, which can be expensive for a business with high energy consumption. By generating its own power, the company can lower its monthly electricity bills and decrease its dependence on the grid.
DD Stone is expected to save around $10,376 annually in energy costs. This savings can be reinvested into the business, improving its financial situation and stability, especially during times when the economy is unpredictable or when rising energy costs put additional pressure on businesses.
2.Fast Return on Investment
With 32.8% return on investment (ROI) and a projected payback period of just 3.05 years, DD Stone will quickly recover the money they spent on their solar system.Over the next several years, the business will continue to see cost savings, and the financial benefits will only grow as the system continues to operate efficiently. This makes solar not just environmentally friendly, but financially stable as well.
3.Environmental Impact and Sustainability
The shift to solar also aligns with DD Stone’s commitment to sustainability. The new solar system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 69.3 tonnes annually. By reducing their reliance on traditional fossil-fuel-based power, DD Stone is doing its part to help mitigate climate change and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.
4.Energy Independence and Reliability
The installation of a solar power system allows DD Stone to take control of its energy future. With solar energy, they are no longer affected by the fluctuations and rising costs of grid electricity. This gives the business energy independence, knowing they have a reliable and renewable power source to support their operations, even during market volatility or grid disruptions.
