Commercial solar for fitness & recreation
Long hours, heavy lighting and climate control. A big daytime load solar offsets well.
The opportunity
Solar built around your sector
Gyms, studios and recreation centres run long hours with heavy lighting, air conditioning, equipment and often pools or hot water.
A large slice of that load sits in daylight, so a rooftop system offsets your power costs across the day, with storage an option for venues that run hard into the evening.

How fitness venues use power
Why your load profile suits solar
Lighting and climate control run for most of the opening day, joined by equipment, ventilation and, in many venues, pool pumps or hot water.
That broad daytime base load is ideal for solar self-consumption, and 24-hour gyms in particular can pair solar with storage to cover more of the round-the-clock draw.
The benefits
What solar does for your business
Offset long opening hours
Lighting, air-con and equipment run for most of the day, giving solar a large, steady load to cover.
Cool comfortably for less
Member comfort means heavy air-conditioning. Solar offsets it best on the hot days it runs hardest.
Suits 24-hour gyms
For round-the-clock venues, solar plus storage can offset a meaningful share of both day and night load.
Reinvest the savings
Lower power bills free up funds for equipment, fit-out and the member experience that keeps people coming back.
How we design it
The details we get right for you
Hours and storage
For long-hours or 24/7 venues, we model whether a battery to cover evening and overnight load stacks up.
Pools and hot water
Where pumps or hot water add to the load, we factor them into the sizing so the system genuinely fits.
Member-friendly install
We schedule works to keep your venue open and members undisturbed wherever possible.
Good to know
Fitness & Recreation solar questions
We run 24 hours, will solar still pay off?+
Yes. Solar covers your large daytime load, and for the overnight portion a battery can shift stored solar into the night. We model both against your usage.
Does solar cover pool pumps and hot water?+
It offsets your overall daytime consumption, which includes pumps and hot water running in daylight. We factor these loads into the system size.
What size system suits a gym?+
Commonly 20kW to 120kW depending on your floor area, air-conditioning and hours. We size it to your actual load and roof before quoting.
Will the install close the gym?+
No. We plan the works to keep your venue open and members undisturbed wherever possible, scheduling disruptive tasks for quiet periods.
