Overview
#Choose the Solar Type That Fits Your Site
Different sites need different solar approaches. Rooftop systems are common, but many businesses get better outcomes with solar car parks, walkway canopies or land-based ground-mount systems - especially when roof space is limited or extra capacity is needed. For agricultural operations, AgriSolar and dual-purpose structures can be designed around pumps, sheds, processing areas and day-to-day operations.
Rooftop Solar for Business
Rooftop solar suits most commercial sites with usable roof space and steady daytime energy use. It’s ideal for offices, retail, hospitality, warehouses and industrial facilities, helping cut power bills by maximising onsite solar use during business hours. We design for shading, access and switchboard capacity to keep it compliant and scalable.
Solar Car Parks & Walkway Canopies
Solar car parks and walkway canopies convert open areas into clean energy while providing shade and weather protection. Best for sites with limited roof space, high daytime load, or where you want extra capacity without changing the building. Designed for structural compliance and future options like EV charging.
AgriSolar (Agricultural Solar Systems)
Agricultural solar systems integrate generation with productive land use—ideal for farms, vineyards, orchards and livestock operations. Options include elevated arrays, transparent agri panels and dual-use designs that support crops, grazing, access and machinery movement. We tailor layouts to your land, operations and compliance requirements.
Solar Farms / Ground-Mount Solar
Ground-mount solar (including solar farm-style projects) is suited to businesses with available land and large energy demand, such as agribusiness, industrial sites and multi-building facilities. It enables higher capacity and flexible layout for performance and maintenance access. We manage design, approvals and grid connection requirements.
