#Your Questions About Commercial Solar Panels Answered
The right solar system size depends on your average energy usage, available roof space, and future business growth plans. Most small businesses need a 30kW–75kW system, while larger operations may require 100kW or more. Speak to our team to find the best fit.
A general guide is around 7–8m² per kilowatt installed. For example, a 100kW solar system typically needs 700–800m² of roof space. Our solar engineers can assess your site and design a system that maximises your available area.
A 50kW solar system can generate around 70,000kWh per year, while a 100kW system can produce about 140,000kWh annually. Larger systems like 250kW–500kW can generate several hundred thousand kilowatt-hours depending on location and system design.
Yes, many businesses start with a system that matches current needs, with the option to expand later. Our designs can be future-proofed, making it easy to add more solar panels as your energy requirements increase.
Installation time varies depending on system size and site complexity. Most commercial solar installations between 30kW and 100kW are completed in 2–4 weeks, while larger systems may take slightly longer. We’ll provide a full project timeline upfront.
