Commercial solar questions

The questions Gold Coast businesses ask us most, answered straight. Can't find what you need? Give us a call.

Cost & savings

How much does commercial solar cost on the Gold Coast?+

It depends on system size, roof type and your energy use, but most commercial systems pay for themselves within a few years through bill savings. We model the numbers for your specific site before you commit, and flexible funding lets you start with little or no upfront capital.

How much can my business save with solar?+

Savings come down to your tariff, roof and how much power you use during daylight hours. Many Gold Coast businesses offset a large share of their daytime bill. Try our savings calculator for an indicative figure, then book an assessment for the exact numbers.

How long is the payback on commercial solar?+

Most commercial systems pay back within a few years, after which the power is effectively free for the life of the system. The stronger your daytime usage, the faster the payback.

System & sizing

What size solar system does my business need?+

It comes down to your roof space, daytime energy use and tariff. We size the system so you self-consume as much solar as possible, which is where the strongest return comes from. Systems range from 10kW to 1MW+.

Will solar work on my type of roof?+

Almost certainly. We install on Klip-Lok and trapezoidal metal, tin, concrete, tilt-up and membrane roofs, and can use tilt frames or ground mounts where a roof is not ideal.

Can I add a battery later?+

Yes. We can design your system as hybrid-ready so a battery slots in cleanly down the track, or build it with storage from day one if backup or peak-demand savings are a priority.

Finance & funding

How can my business pay for commercial solar?+

Three main ways, a capital purchase for the best lifetime return, a payment plan that spreads the cost so repayments are offset by savings, or a power purchase agreement with no upfront cost. We model each option against your bills so you can choose what suits your objectives.

Can I get commercial solar with no upfront cost?+

Yes. A payment plan or a power purchase agreement both let you go solar without tying up capital, and with the zero-upfront options the repayments are typically cash-flow positive from day one. Capital purchase remains available if you want maximum lifetime return.

What is a solar PPA?+

A Power Purchase Agreement lets you go solar with no upfront cost. We fund, install, own and maintain the system, and you simply buy the power it generates at a fixed rate that is usually below grid.

Install & support

Do you install across the whole Gold Coast?+

Yes. We design and install commercial solar right across the Gold Coast, from Coomera and Southport down to Burleigh, Robina and Coolangatta, and out to the hinterland.

How long does installation take?+

Most commercial installs take a few days to a couple of weeks on site depending on size and complexity. We schedule around your trading hours to keep disruption to a minimum.

What warranties come with the system?+

Quality Tier-1 panels carry performance warranties of around 25 years, and commercial inverters typically 10 to 12 years. We manage warranty support locally so any issue is handled quickly.
