Solar
Commercial Solar in Sydney
Solar for Sydney businesses, sized to your roof and your load, installed by a licensed electrician from our network, verified before any job, with the switchboard and compliance work handled as part of it, not as an afterthought billed separately. This sits within our wider Sydney solar page, covering panels, batteries and EV chargers too.
Why commercial solar makes sense for Sydney businesses
Most businesses use the bulk of their power during business hours, which is exactly when solar generates the most. That overlap is what makes commercial solar work harder than a residential install: you're using more of what you generate, directly, rather than exporting it to the grid at a lower rate. For businesses on demand-based tariffs, a correctly sized system can also reduce peak demand charges, which is often a bigger line item on the bill than the base energy rate itself.
The maths is different for a warehouse running refrigeration through the day, a retail site with air conditioning and lighting during trading hours, or an office with a steady daytime load, but the underlying logic holds across all three: solar works best against a load that mirrors the sun, and Sydney business hours generally do.
System sizes for business
Commercial systems are sized to your roof space and your load profile, and can range from something similar in scale to a large residential install up to significantly larger arrays for warehouses and industrial roofs. We've installed commercial systems up to around 150kW. We size every commercial job from your actual usage data, not a standard package scaled up. For residential-scale systems, see our solar panel installation page.
Payback for business
Payback depends on your system size, your usage pattern and your current tariff structure, so we won't put a generic payback period on this page. What we can do is walk you through the numbers for your business specifically as part of the quote.
Federal incentives for commercial solar
Commercial solar systems can be eligible for federal incentive schemes such as Small-scale Technology Certificates, and larger systems may fall under different incentive mechanisms again. Because eligibility and value depend on system size and change with policy, we'll confirm what applies to your project when we quote it rather than promise a figure here. We handle the STC paperwork for you as part of the job. [SET AT PUBLISH: "Current at Month Year"]
Our commercial installation process
We start with a site assessment covering your roof, your switchboard capacity and your usage data, not a desktop estimate. From there we design the system and confirm the engineering and pricing before anything is scheduled. Installation is planned around your business hours to minimise disruption to trading or operations, and once it's connected, we sign off on compliance so the system is ready to run. For sites with more complex switchboard or metering setups, that engineering step can take longer, and we factor it into the timeline upfront.
Industries and sites we work with
We size and install commercial systems from small offices to sites with real scale, up to around 150kW on jobs completed so far. Tell us about your site and load, and we'll confirm whether it's a fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can commercial solar save my business?
It depends on your system size, your usage pattern and your current tariff structure, particularly whether you're on a demand-based tariff. We model the numbers for your business as part of the quote rather than quote a generic saving.
What size commercial solar system do I need?
That comes down to your roof space and your load profile. We size every system from your actual usage data and a site assessment, not a standard package.
What government incentives apply to commercial solar?
Commercial systems can be eligible for federal incentive schemes, and the detail depends on system size and current policy. We'll confirm what applies to your project when we quote it.
How long does a commercial solar installation take?
It depends on system size and site access, and we plan installation around your business hours to minimise disruption. We'll give you a clear timeframe as part of the quote.
Do you install solar for strata and multi-tenant buildings?
Strata and multi-tenant sites bring extra considerations (shared metering, body-corporate approval, split billing), and we work through those as part of scoping any commercial job. Tell us about your site and we'll confirm what's involved.
