Commercial Ground-Mount Solar Systems
Generate solar energy from available land with a commercial ground-mount solar system designed around your site, electricity usage and future energy requirements.
#You'll Be in Great Company
From Local Businesses to National Brands. Across IT, Print, LED, AV and Commercial Solar solutions Australia-wide.
Ground-Mount Solar Makes Better Use of Available Land
Ground-mounted solar panels are installed on engineered structures at ground level rather than on a building roof, giving businesses greater flexibility over system layout, orientation and scale.
They can be particularly useful where roof space is limited or unsuitable, where larger solar capacity is required, or where a site has available land that can be used for onsite energy generation.
Key considerations include:
- Available land area
- Solar exposure and shading
- Site access and ground conditions
- Electrical infrastructure
- Network capacity and export requirements
- Future expansion or battery storage
$0 Upfront Finance Options Available
Preserve capital with commercial finance options for eligible ground-mount solar projects. Spread the project cost over an agreed term while your business starts benefiting from onsite solar generation. Finance is provided through DLL and is subject to approval.
#Commercial Ground-Mount Solar Solutions
Ground-mounted solar systems can be configured in different ways depending on your available land, electricity demand, site conditions and future energy requirements.
Fixed-Tilt Ground-Mount Solar
A fixed ground-mounted solar array positions panels at an engineered tilt and orientation to maximise generation across the year.
May suit:
- Commercial properties with available land
- Industrial and manufacturing sites
- Regional businesses
- Utilities and infrastructure sites
Large-Scale Ground-Mount Solar
Ground-mount systems can scale into hundreds of kilowatts or multi-megawatt projects where land, energy demand and network capacity support it.
May suit:
- High-energy commercial operations
- Large industrial sites
- Landowners
- Multi-megawatt energy projects
Ground-Mount Solar with Battery Storage
Ground-mounted solar can be designed alongside commercial battery storage to increase self-consumption, manage peak demand or support resilience requirements.
May suit:
- Sites with evening loads
- High demand charges
- Operations requiring backup capability
- Sites planning future energy expansion
Ground-Mount Solar for Regional & Remote Sites
For sites with available land but limited or unsuitable roof space, ground-mounted solar can provide a flexible way to generate onsite energy.
May suit:
- Regional commercial sites
- Agriculture and processing facilities
- Remote infrastructure
- Large properties with underutilised land
Not Sure If Your Car Park Is Suitable?
Every site is different. Neil, our GM of Commercial Solar, can help you understand whether a solar car park could work for your site, the potential system size and how it could integrate with rooftop solar or EV charging.

#Other Ways to Generate Solar from Available Land
Not every site needs a conventional permanent ground-mounted solar system. How the land is used — and whether the solar system needs to move — can determine the right approach.
AgriSolar
For agricultural land that needs to remain productive, agrivoltaic solar systems can combine solar generation with farming, livestock, horticulture, vineyards and other agricultural operations.
Designed for sites where farming needs to continue while adding onsite energy generation and long-term value.
Containerised Solar
For operations where energy requirements or site locations may change, deployable containerised solar provides a relocatable alternative to permanent ground-mounted infrastructure.
Designed for applications including mining, construction, agriculture, defence, emergency response and remote operations.

#FAQs About Commercial Solar Car Parks & Canopies
A commercial solar car park uses engineered canopy structures fitted with solar panels above parking spaces. The system generates electricity onsite while providing shaded or covered parking for vehicles below.
The terms are often used interchangeably for solar structures installed above parking areas. Commercial solar car parks may also be described as solar car park canopies, solar canopies, solar carports or solar car shades depending on the project and structure.
Yes. Existing commercial car parks can potentially be fitted with solar canopy structures. Suitability depends on the car park layout, available space, solar exposure, civil and structural requirements, electrical infrastructure and relevant approvals.
Yes. Commercial rooftop solar and solar car park canopies can be designed as part of the same energy system. This can increase onsite solar generation where a business has both suitable roof and car park space.
Yes. EV charging infrastructure can be integrated into a commercial solar car park where the site's electrical capacity and charging requirements support it. This allows businesses to plan solar generation, covered parking and EV charging together.
The potential system size depends on the number and layout of parking spaces, canopy design, solar exposure, electricity usage and network capacity. Sharp EIT assesses these factors to determine an appropriate commercial solar system size for the site.
Solar car parks can suit shopping centres, clubs and hospitality venues, corporate offices, industrial sites, schools and universities, sporting facilities and other commercial sites with suitable parking areas. The best configuration depends on the site, parking requirements and electricity usage.
Yes. Sharp EIT designs and delivers commercial solar projects Australia-wide. Each solar car park project is assessed around the site's parking layout, structural and civil requirements, electrical infrastructure, energy usage and network requirements.
