Helping Businesses Make Informed Energy Decisions
Are you looking at ways to reduce your business electricity costs or lower your power bill?
Whether you’re a small retailer, a manufacturing business, operating a rural property, or considering solar with battery storage for a 24-hour operation across Hobart, Launceston or regional areas, the starting point is understanding how your site runs and where solar can make the most impact.
For some businesses, that leads to a clear reduction in electricity costs. For others, it helps determine whether commercial solar is the right next step.
If you’re considering commercial solar in Tasmania, we can take a look at your site and give you a clear view of what’s worth doing and what isn’t.
#Government Incentives for Commercial Solar
Government incentives can make commercial solar more viable for Tasmanian businesses, particularly when included in overall system costs from the outset.
Check Your Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) Eligibility
Most systems up to 100kW are eligible for STCs, which reduce installation costs upfront.
Businesses may also benefit from:
-
Instant asset write-off
-
Accelerated depreciation
These are built into your proposal, so you can clearly see how they impact costs and payback.
Commercial Solar System Types
#Commercial Solar Solutions for Tasmanian Businesses
Commercial solar systems for Tasmanian businesses vary depending on site layout, available space and operational requirements.
The most common system types are outlined below, based on how different sites operate across Hobart, Launceston and regional Tasmania.
Commercial Rooftop Solar Systems
Rooftop systems are widely used across Hobart and Launceston, supporting on-site energy generation for commercial and industrial buildings.
This includes applications across:
- Warehouses and logistics facilities
- Manufacturing and processing sites
- Retail and commercial buildings
- Office and mixed-use developments
Systems typically range from 20kW to 100kW+, and can be paired with battery storage for businesses operating beyond standard hours.
Solar Car Park Canopies
Solar car park systems provide an additional way to generate electricity while making use of existing space on larger commercial sites.
This includes applications across:
- Retail centres and shopping precincts
- Office and business parks
- Logistics and distribution facilities
- High-traffic commercial sites
These systems are often deployed alongside 50kW–250kW+ installations, particularly where roof space is limited.
Agri-Solar Systems
Agri-solar systems are well suited to regional Tasmania, supporting farming operations while generating electricity on-site.
This includes applications across:
- Cattle properties and automated feeders
- Wineries and vineyards
- Fruit and produce farms
- Irrigation and processing facilities
Options such as elevated or transparent solar systems allow continued land use while generating energy, with system size tailored to both operational requirements and available land.
Ground-Mount Solar Systems
Ground-mounted systems are typically used across regional Tasmania where sufficient land is available for larger installations.
This includes applications across:
- Agricultural and farming operations
- Industrial and processing facilities
- Regional commercial sites
- Large-scale energy users
System sizes generally start from 100kW+, scaling based on available land and energy demand.
Battery Storage
Battery storage allows businesses to store excess solar energy and use it outside of daylight hours.
This includes applications across:
- Manufacturing and 24-hour operations
- Cold storage and refrigeration facilities
- Processing and production sites
- Businesses with peak demand charges
Battery systems are typically integrated with larger solar installations to help manage energy usage and reduce peak costs.
Commercial EV Charging
EV charging infrastructure can be integrated into a broader energy system to support fleet and on-site vehicle charging.
This includes applications across:
- Logistics and transport fleets
- Service-based businesses
- Corporate and office environments
- High-traffic commercial sites
Charging systems are designed in line with overall energy usage and future operational requirements.

Commercial solar installation timelines vary depending on system size, approvals and site conditions. Smaller systems can be installed within weeks, while larger projects may take longer due to grid connection and planning requirements.
Commercial solar panels refer to the panels themselves, while a commercial solar PV system includes the full setup — panels, inverters and system design. Both terms are commonly used when researching solar for business.
Yes — commercial solar is widely used across regional Tasmania, including farms, wineries, irrigation systems and processing facilities. System design is tailored to how each site operates and uses energy.
No — while rooftop solar is common, businesses can also use ground-mounted systems, solar car park canopies or agri-solar setups depending on site layout and available land.
Most businesses are eligible for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which reduce upfront costs. Additional tax incentives may also apply, helping improve overall return on investment.
The best place to start is with a commercial solar quote, where your electricity usage, site and requirements are reviewed to provide a tailored system recommendation.
