Solar for Businesses With High Daytime Power Use
Businesses that run most of their load between morning and late afternoon save the most from solar. We read your bills and interval data, match system size to your daytime demand, and show your expected savings before you commit. Read about high daytime power bills for your business.

Network Approval and Export Limits
Larger systems need approval from your electricity distributor before they connect, and the network sets how much power you can export. We prepare and lodge the application, and we design to the limit you are offered. Read about a large solar system that needs network approval. Where the network requires it, we install zero-export and export-limited systems that hold your site to the agreed limit.
Roof Checks and Staged Installation
We inspect your roof sheeting, loading and access before design. If the roof cannot carry the system, we tell you before you pay for panels. Read about a roof that is not strong enough for commercial solar. We schedule work in stages and outside trading hours where we can, so your business keeps running. Read about downtime during installation.
Finance, Tax and Leasing
- Pay up front, use a business loan, or lease the system.
- Tax treatment and write-off rules depend on your business, so confirm them with your accountant.
- Technology Certificates reduce the upfront price of eligible systems.
We explain each option with your numbers. See commercial solar finance and tax options.
Monitoring and Reporting
We set up monitoring that shows generation and usage, so you can track savings and report on sustainability goals. We can add battery storage to cut peak demand and keep key loads running in an outage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my business need network approval?
Larger systems need approval from your distributor, and every system connects under an export limit. We lodge the application for you.
Can installation happen without closing my business?
Usually yes. We stage the work and schedule around your trading hours where we can.
Can I add a battery to a commercial system?
Yes. A battery can cut peak demand and keep key loads running in an outage. We size it from your interval data.
