Commercial Solar Overview
#Solar Options for Different Types of Commercial Sites
Commercial solar isn’t the same for every business. The right setup depends on your roof space, land availability, operations and energy use.
Below is an overview of the main commercial solar system types used across Australia from rooftop systems and solar car parks to agricultural solar and large-scale ground-mount installations.
Rooftop Solar Panels for Business
Rooftop commercial solar is the most common choice for offices, warehouses, retail sites and community facilities. It uses existing roof space to offset daytime electricity costs and reduce grid dependence.
Solar Car Park Canopies
Solar car park structures generate onsite energy while providing shaded parking for staff, visitors or customers. A practical solution for shopping centres, clubs, schools, industrial sites and large commercial precincts.
Agri-Solar & Agricultural Solar Systems
Agri-solar helps reduce energy costs across irrigation, storage, livestock operations and general farm activities. A suitable option for farms, vineyards, orchards, nurseries, wineries and rural or regional properties.
Solar Farms & Ground-Mount Systems
Ground-mounted solar systems are ideal for organisations with available land and higher energy needs. These solutions support commercial solar farms and large-scale installations across industrial sites, regional facilities and rural operations.
One Site or Ten – We Scale With You
Whether you’re installing solar at one production facility or rolling out a national strategy across multiple industrial sites, Sharp EIT delivers engineered solar systems that scale with your business. We’ll help you assess your current energy usage, calculate real savings, access available government incentives, and build a long-term solar strategy tailored to your logistics network — now or in future.
Battery Storage for Warehouses and Logistics Sites
Battery storage supports manufacturing plants by reducing peak demand, providing backup during downtime, and powering operations during evening shifts. It helps reduce electricity costs, increase reliability, and improve overall solar ROI.
- Lower electricity costs even further with stored solar power
- Increase energy independence and site reliability
- Improve ROI with commercial-grade battery storage

#FAQs – Commercial Solar for Manufacturing Businesses
Savings depend on your energy usage and system size, but many manufacturing sites see significant reductions — especially those with high daytime loads. We’ll model your energy profile to show potential savings, payback period, and ROI.
Yes. We work with manufacturers who operate across multiple sites, whether that’s two production plants or a national footprint. We support both single-site installations and fully coordinated multi-site rollouts.
Yes. Your business may be eligible for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs), and other regional incentives. We’ll help you explore what’s available and factor that into your ROI report.
That’s common — many manufacturers start with a pilot site to prove ROI, then expand to other plants. We’ll help you plan both short-term and long-term solar strategy with scalability in mind.
Yes. We design every system with future upgrades in mind. Whether you need battery storage for backup during production or EV charging for your fleet, we can include integration options now or later.
Yes — we assess your equipment load profile to size your system accordingly. Many manufacturers use solar to offset high-consumption machinery, reduce peak demand charges, and stabilise long-term energy costs.
