Commercial Solar Batteries in Gold Coast
Battery storage lets your business use its own solar after the sun goes down, shave expensive peak-demand charges and keep critical equipment running through outages. We size storage to your loads so it earns its keep, not just sits on the wall.

Commercial solar batteries
Store your solar, use it when it counts
Solar only produces while the sun's up, but most businesses keep paying for power long after that. Battery storage closes the gap.
By storing your excess daytime solar, a battery lets you run on your own clean power into the evening, cut the peak-demand charges that quietly inflate commercial bills, and keep critical loads alive when the grid drops.
The trick is sizing. We model your load profile and tariff to work out exactly how much storage pays for itself, so you get the benefits without over-investing in capacity you'll never use.
Battery use cases
What a battery can do for your site
Commercial storage earns its return in more than one way. Here are the main jobs a battery does, most sites benefit from a combination.
Self-Consumption
Store the solar you'd otherwise export for cents and use it yourself in the evening, squeezing far more value out of every panel.
Peak-Demand Shaving
Commercial tariffs punish short demand spikes. A battery smooths those peaks, cutting the demand charges that bloat your bill.
Backup Power
Keep refrigeration, EFTPOS, security or production running through grid outages with seamless backup for your critical circuits.
Demand Management
Smart control shifts when you draw, store and discharge power to match your tariff, automatically working the system in your favour.

We'll model your load profile and tariff to show whether a battery pays for itself on your site, and how big it should be.
Battery sizing
How much storage does your business need?
Battery size depends on your evening loads, demand profile and how much backup you want. This guide is a starting point, we confirm the right capacity after modelling your site.
| Storage size | Typical business | What it covers | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20-50 kWh | Cafés, small offices, clinics | Evening loads & small backup | Extending solar into the evening |
| 50-150 kWh | Retail, hospitality, workshops | Peak shaving & key backup | Cutting demand charges |
| 150-500 kWh | Manufacturing, cold storage | Major peak & load shifting | High demand-charge sites |
| 500 kWh+ | Industrial, multi-site groups | Energy strategy & resilience | Maximum control and backup |

Commercial Solar Batteries FAQs
Is a commercial solar battery worth it?+
It depends on your tariff and load profile. Batteries pay back fastest on sites with high evening use, steep peak-demand charges or a need for backup. We model your site first so you only invest if the numbers genuinely stack up.
How big a battery does my business need?+
It comes down to your evening loads, demand spikes and how much backup you want. We analyse your usage and size the storage so it earns its keep, not so big it wastes capital, not so small it misses the savings.
Can a battery keep my business running in a blackout?+
Yes, we can configure backup for your critical circuits, so things like refrigeration, EFTPOS, security or key production keep running through grid outages. The amount of backup depends on the battery size.
What battery chemistry do you install?+
We use safe lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) storage as standard. It's the chemistry of choice for commercial sites thanks to its long cycle life, thermal stability and strong safety record.
Can I add a battery to an existing solar system?+
Often, yes. Depending on your current inverter we can add an AC-coupled battery or upgrade to a hybrid setup. We'll assess your existing system and recommend the cleanest path to storage.
How do batteries cut peak-demand charges?+
Many commercial tariffs charge based on your highest demand spike in a period. A battery discharges to cover those spikes so the grid never sees them, which can meaningfully reduce the demand portion of your bill.
