Commercial solar in Molendinar

There are almost no offices out here and not much retail. Molendinar is an industrial suburb. That makes the solar conversation a simple one. Big roofs, three-phase power, and machinery running all day.

Depots suit it particularly well. Yard lights, compressors, workshop tools and servicing gear are all going from early. A depot roof usually has hundreds of square metres doing nothing.

The sheds out here vary in age. Some are modern with plenty of strength to spare. Others are older and worth checking first. We look at the roof sheets and the steel rails they screw into, called purlins, before anything is fixed down.

That check matters. Put a twenty-five year system on a roof with five years left, and you pay twice to take it off and put it back.

Why Molendinar businesses are going solar

Steel and light manufacturing

Engineering and fabrication pull a heavy, steady load through the day, so you use nearly everything the roof makes.

Depots and vehicle yards

Transport and service depots run yard lights, compressors and workshop gear from first thing, over roofs with a lot of unused space.

We check the roof first

Sheds here vary in age. We look at the sheets and purlins before designing, because re-roofing under an existing system is an expensive lesson.

Three-phase, already on

Most sites in the estate already have the heavier three-phase supply, so a bigger inverter is usually a simple connection rather than an upgrade.

Servicing Molendinar & surrounds

Electricians, not just panel fitters

A commercial system is an electrical job before it is a solar one. Switchboards, network approvals and metering are where the surprises live, and they are the reason a job runs to plan or does not.

We hold electrical contractor licences in Queensland and New South Wales, and our people do the wiring themselves.

Commercial solar in Molendinar, FAQs

Does the Molendinar estate suit commercial solar?+

Very much. Big shed roofs, three-phase power already on, and machinery running all day. Those are the conditions these systems are built for.

My shed is thirty years old. Will it take panels?+

Often yes, but it has to be checked, not assumed. We look at the roof sheets, the purlins underneath and the fixings on site. If it is near the end of its life we will tell you. Replacing it is far cheaper before the panels go on.

Will it cover our early morning start?+

Partly. Panels start slow at first light and build through the morning. A six o'clock start is only partly covered. An eight to four operation is covered well. We check it against your actual usage.

What size system do sites here usually take?+

Most units land between 40kW and 200kW. Usually your daytime use and the amount the network lets you send back set the size, not the roof. We confirm both before designing.
