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 option 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 visitors, staff or customers. A suitable solution for shopping centres, clubs, schools, and large commercial car parks.
Agricultural Solar Systems
Agri solar can lower energy costs across irrigation, storage, livestock and general farm operations, providing a practical solution for farms, vineyards, orchards, agribusiness and regional properties.
Solar Farms & Ground-Mount Systems
For businesses or organisations with available land, large ground-mounted solar systems can support higher energy demands. These systems are often used across industrial sites, regional facilities and multi-megawatt commercial solar projects.
