Commercial solar for cold storage & refrigeration
Refrigeration never sleeps. Solar takes the sting out of the bill it builds every single day.
The opportunity
Solar built around your sector
Refrigeration is one of the most power-hungry loads in commercial property, and it runs around the clock to protect your stock.
Solar offsets the heavy daytime portion of that load, and paired with storage it can carry more of the overnight draw too, so you cut the bill without putting product at risk.

How cold storage uses power
Why your load profile suits solar
Cooling load dominates the bill and runs continuously, climbing on hot Gold Coast days exactly when solar generation is at its strongest.
That correlation between heat, demand and sunshine makes refrigeration a standout candidate. A battery then lets you shift cheap daytime solar into the evening and overnight cooling cycle.
The benefits
What solar does for your business
Offset 24/7 cooling
Solar covers a large share of your daytime refrigeration draw, the single biggest line on most cold-storage bills.
Hotter days, bigger savings
Cooling demand peaks when it is hot and sunny, so your highest consumption lines up with your highest solar output.
Storage for resilience
A battery shifts solar into the night and can keep critical refrigeration running through short outages, protecting stock.
Protect your margins
With power a major operating cost, locking in lower energy prices directly defends the profitability of every pallet you store.
How we design it
The details we get right for you
Continuous load modelling
We profile your refrigeration load across the day and seasons so the system and any battery are sized to genuinely fit it.
Backup for critical loads
Where keeping product cold through an outage matters, we design storage and switching to carry your essential refrigeration.
Roof and plant access
We plan the array around rooftop condensers and plant so airflow and serviceability are never compromised.

Cold Storage solar questions
Can solar run our refrigeration overnight?+
Solar covers the daytime load directly. To offset the overnight cooling cycle, we pair the system with a battery sized to shift stored solar into the evening and night.
Will solar keep our cool rooms running in a blackout?+
A standard grid-connected system shuts down in an outage for safety. With a battery and the right switching, we can keep your critical refrigeration running through short outages.
How much can a cold-storage site save?+
Because refrigeration is such a large, constant load, the savings are often substantial. We model your specific consumption and show the projected savings and payback before you commit.
Does rooftop plant get in the way?+
Not usually. We design the array around existing condensers and plant, keeping airflow and access clear while still capturing the roof space that is available.
