Why Commercial Solar?
Commercial solar for businesses of every size, from 20kW rooftop systems to multi-megawatt installs.
Whether you’re looking to reduce energy costs, improve cost certainty, meet sustainability targets, or future-proof your operations, solar for business is a practical investment with measurable returns.
Many businesses can reduce grid electricity costs by 30–60% with the right commercial solar system. Commercial solar panels are a long-life asset designed to perform for decades, and finance or zero-upfront options can help you move forward without tying up capital.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, which is why we start by understanding your site, your energy profile, and what success looks like for your business. We then build a business case with clear modelling behind every recommendation, so you can make a confident decision before you commit.
Switch to solar with $0 upfront.
Clear savings, simple finance options and no disruption to cash flow for approved businesses. (Subject to credit approval. Terms and conditions apply.)
Commercial Solar Overview
#Smarter Solar Solutions, Tailored for Business Performance
From lower energy bills to long-term resilience, we deliver full-service energy systems for businesses of all sizes ready to reduce costs, future-proof operations, and take control of their power
Rooftop Solar for Business
Commercial rooftop solar is a practical starting point for many offices, warehouses, retail and industrial sites with usable roof space. We design commercial solar PV systems around shading, structure and switchboard capacity to maximise onsite use.
Solar Car Parks & Walkway Canopies
Solar car parks and walkway canopies create shade while generating commercial solar power, ideal when roof space is limited or you want to add EV charging. Designed to suit your site layout and compliance requirements.
Solar Farms / Ground-Mount Solar
Ground-mount and solar farm systems suit larger sites where scale and future expansion matter. Ideal for high-load operations and multi-building facilities, with design focused on performance and approvals.
AgriSolar (Agricultural Solar Systems)
Agricultural solar systems are built around working farms supporting sheds, irrigation, processing and dual-purpose land use. Options include transparent agri panels, solar walkways and livestock-ready structures.
Battery Storage
Battery storage helps capture excess solar energy and reduce peak demand improving ROI and resilience. Best paired with commercial solar installations where loads extend into evenings or demand charges apply.
EV Charging
EV charging can be integrated with commercial solar power systems for staff, fleet and customers. We design the electrical and site layout so charging supports your operational needs.
#Government Incentives for Commercial Solar
Reduce the upfront cost of your commercial solar system with Australian government rebates and incentives.
Most businesses qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which provide an upfront discount that reduces your installation cost immediately. Many organisations can also benefit from instant asset write-off, accelerated depreciation and other tax-effective incentives.
Every solar proposal includes a clear breakdown of the rebates and incentives your business is eligible for - so you can see the savings from day one.
#Trusted by Organisations across Australia
"Sharp EIT made the switch to solar effortless. The install was fast, the team was great to deal with". Joe Kelly, CEO of North Ryde RSL.

#Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Solar
Commercial solar is solar power for commercial buildings and operations typically a commercial solar power system using commercial solar panels (solar PV) installed on rooftops, car parks, or as ground-mount. It reduces grid electricity use and can improve long-term energy costs and resilience. You can compare system types here.
Yes, we deliver commercial solar installation for businesses across Australia, from rooftop to car park canopies and larger site-based projects. You can view options by system type and system size.
Most businesses choose solar power for business to lower operating costs and reduce exposure to rising energy prices. A well-designed commercial solar power system can also improve energy independence and support sustainability targets, without changing day-to-day operations.
Savings depend on your energy use, tariff, and how much solar you can use onsite. Many businesses see meaningful reductions in electricity costs, especially when the system is sized for daytime loads and paired with options like battery storage (where it stacks up financially). You can see typical pricing factors on our costs page.
Sizing is based on your interval data (when you use power), available area (roof, car park or land), and network/approval constraints. Commercial systems often start around 30kW and scale to 100kW and 250kW+ depending on the site, with industrial solar systems commonly sitting at the higher end. See common system sizes here.
They’re the same thing. “Commercial solar panels”, “commercial PV panels” and “commercial photovoltaic panels” all refer to solar PV modules used in business-grade systems.
We install commercial solar across multiple formats: rooftop, solar car park canopies, walkways, ground-mount and larger site-based systems—including Agricultural solar systems (AgriSolar) where it suits the operation and approvals. See system types here.
Sometimes, especially if your load profile matches solar production (daytime use) and the site can fit a larger system. Many businesses use commercial solar to cover a significant portion of demand and keep the grid for nights/peaks, and battery storage can further reduce grid reliance. See common system sizes here.
Timing depends on system size, access, switchboard works, and approvals. Smaller rooftop installs can be completed quickly, while larger commercial solar power installations (car parks, ground-mount, multi-site) take longer due to engineering and approvals.
Yes. Battery storage can help capture excess solar generation, manage peak demand and improve self-consumption—particularly for businesses with evening loads or demand charges.
Yes. Many commercial solar installations are designed so battery storage can be added later. The key is choosing compatible inverters/switchboard design and allowing space for future expansion.
Yes. EV charging can be integrated with commercial solar power so charging aligns with solar production. This can work for staff parking, customer charging or fleet depots, depending on site capacity and electrical design.
Often, yes. Eligible systems may access Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) under certain sizes, and some projects may qualify for other programs depending on scale, location and network requirements. We’ll confirm what applies to your project during scoping. See cost considerations on our costs page.
