From Local Businesses to National Brands. Across IT, Print, LED, AV and Commercial Solar solutions Australia-wide.
Working with Businesses on Commercial Solar
Most businesses we work with across Launceston are looking for a clear understanding of their electricity costs and whether solar will make a meaningful difference. We review your energy usage, site and operating requirements to determine what’s likely to deliver value.
Across Launceston, we typically work with:
- Warehouses and logistics facilities
- Commercial buildings and offices
- Manufacturing and industrial sites
- Community venues, RSL clubs and sporting facilities
- Agricultural and mixed-use operations in surrounding areas
Energy usage is often driven by operating hours, equipment and peak demand — which is why systems are designed around how each business actually runs day to day.
#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 Launceston Businesses
We design commercial solar systems for a range of Launceston businesses, based on site layout, energy usage and long-term operating requirements.
The most common system types are outlined below, based on how different sites operate across Launceston.
Commercial Rooftop Solar Systems
Rooftop systems are widely used across 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.
#Our Approach to Commercial Solar Projects in Launceston
Every commercial solar project starts with understanding how your business uses electricity, your site conditions and how the system needs to perform. From there, we guide you through each stage from assessment and system design through to installation and ongoing support, so you know exactly what your commercial solar system is designed to deliver over time.

We review your electricity usage, operating hours and site requirements to understand how your business runs and where a commercial solar system can reduce costs.
2. System Design & Recommendations
We design a commercial solar system based on your site, usage and operating requirements — aligned with performance, cost reduction and long-term return.
3. Approvals & Planning
We manage approvals, engineering and grid connection requirements to ensure your commercial solar installation is structured correctly before installation begins.
4. Installation
Our team manages the installation process to minimise disruption, ensuring your commercial solar system is installed safely and in line with site requirements.
5. Commissioning & Handover
We test and commission your system to ensure it operates as expected, providing a clear handover so you understand performance and system operation.
6. Ongoing Support
We continue to monitor system performance and provide ongoing support to ensure your commercial solar system delivers consistent results over time.
Commercial Solar Finance Options

#Commercial Solar Launceston FAQs
For many Launceston businesses, commercial solar is an effective way to reduce electricity bills, particularly where energy usage is consistent during the day. The outcome depends on your tariff structure, operating hours and overall demand, which is why systems are designed around how your business actually uses power.
A business solar system can offset a significant portion of your daytime electricity usage, reducing reliance on grid power. The level of savings depends on system size, usage patterns and peak demand charges, but most businesses see a meaningful reduction in ongoing electricity costs.
System size depends on your electricity usage, site layout and operating hours. In Launceston, most commercial solar systems range from around 20kW to 100kW+, with larger systems common for industrial sites and higher energy users.
Yes. Most systems up to 100kW are eligible for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which reduce upfront costs. Businesses may also benefit from tax incentives such as instant asset write-off and accelerated depreciation, depending on eligibility.
Yes. Solar systems are designed to offset daytime electricity usage, and for businesses operating outside standard hours, battery storage can be integrated to reduce reliance on grid power and help manage peak demand charges.
Timeframes vary depending on system size, approvals and site conditions. Most commercial solar projects move from initial assessment through to installation over several weeks, with planning in place to minimise disruption to your operations.
Yes. We work with businesses across Launceston and surrounding regions, including commercial, industrial and mixed-use sites where energy usage and operating requirements vary.
Typically, your recent electricity bills and a basic understanding of how your business operates is enough to get started. From there, a tailored recommendation can be provided showing system size, costs, expected savings and long-term performance.
