Commercial solar

Commercial solar panels in Melbourne, built for your business

Businesses use most of their power during daylight hours — exactly when solar produces it. We design commercial and agricultural systems around your real load to cut operating costs from day one.

Designed around your load

We analyse your interval data and tariffs to size a system that maximises self-use.

Minimal disruption

Installs are planned around your operating hours so the business keeps running.

Incentives handled

We manage STCs (or LGCs for larger systems) and the grid connection process.

Farms and rural sites

Purpose-built solar for sheds, pumps, cool rooms and larger rural systems.

Why solar suits businesses

Most businesses use the majority of their electricity during daylight hours — exactly when solar panels produce power. That makes commercial solar one of the most direct ways to bring operating costs down: every kWh you generate and use on-site is one you’re not paying commercial rates for.

Who we work with

  • Offices and retail — lighting, cooling and equipment running through business hours
  • Warehouses and factories — large roof areas and heavy daytime loads
  • Hospitality and food businesses — refrigeration and cool rooms running around the clock
  • Farms and agriculture — sheds, pumps, dairies and rural properties
  • Clinics, childcare and community buildings — steady daytime use

How we design a commercial system

  1. Usage analysis — we review your electricity interval data and tariff structure
  2. Site assessment — roof condition, structure, orientation and switchboard capacity
  3. System design — sized to maximise self-consumption within your grid connection limits
  4. Clear proposal — expected generation, savings and payback, with incentives applied
  5. Installation and commissioning — scheduled around your operations, with full compliance
  6. Monitoring and after-care — so you can see exactly what your system is saving

Add storage and EV charging

Commercial solar pairs well with battery storage to reduce evening and peak demand, and with EV charging for fleet and staff vehicles. We can design all three together as one system.

A local partner for the long term

Our process

One team, every step of the way

01

Consultation

We start with a real conversation about your energy use, your roof and what you actually want — not a generic sales pitch. Got a technical question? You’ll get a straight answer.

02

Design & quote

We design a system sized to your property, then give you a clear, itemised quote — costs, timeline and exactly what’s included, with rebates applied. No pressure to decide on the spot.

03

Installation

Your system is installed by CEC-accredited installers, with one point of contact throughout. We take on the tricky jobs too — steep roofs, awkward sites and tricky rewires.

04

Commissioning & handover

Once it’s installed, we test everything, walk you through how your system works, and make sure it’s fully compliant and performing from day one.

05

After-care & warranty

We don’t disappear after switch-on. If you ever need us, you get ongoing after-care and warranty support — not a dead-end warranty department.

Our partners

Quality hardware from trusted brands

We design around proven, tier-1 manufacturers — so every system is built for performance, safety and long-term value.

Commercial solar FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is commercial solar worth it for my business?

For most businesses, yes — because you use the bulk of your power during the day, when solar generates. Every kWh you produce and use on-site is a kWh you don't buy at commercial rates. We'll model your expected savings and payback from your actual usage data.

What incentives are available for commercial solar?

Systems up to 100 kW can generate small-scale technology certificates (STCs), which reduce the upfront cost. Larger systems can create large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) over time. Depending on your business structure there may be tax benefits too — check with your accountant. We handle the certificate paperwork.

How big a system does my business need?

We size it from your electricity interval data, your tariff structure, your roof space and your grid connection limits. The goal is to cover as much of your daytime load as possible without over-exporting.

Will installation disrupt my business?

We plan installs around your operating hours and keep any switchover to a short, scheduled window. Most of the work happens on the roof, away from your customers and staff.

Do you install solar on farms?

Yes. We design solar for farms and rural properties — from sheds, pumps and cool rooms to larger rural systems — including sites that need a tailored mounting or cabling solution.
