What Impacts the Cost - and Return - of Commercial Solar
Every business is different, and so is the cost of going solar. The final price depends on your system size, available roof or land area, daily energy use, and chosen finance model. Government rebates can reduce upfront costs by up to 40%, and adding battery storage can boost your independence and savings even further.
To give you a real-world example, a 100 kW commercial solar system typically costs $80,000–$100,000 after rebates, generates $25,000–$35,000 in annual savings, and pays for itself in just over three years.
Actual costs and savings vary depending on site, energy profile and finance model.
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.
Battery Storage
Store solar power and use it when it benefits your business most.
Battery systems can help reduce peak demand charges, support operations during outages and make better use of the solar you generate. If you're exploring energy resilience or looking to get more value from your solar system, you can learn more below.
