Commercial solar and battery storage

Solar on its own covers the hours the sun is up. Add storage and your business can also cut peak demand charges, run early and late shifts on its own energy and keep critical equipment going through an outage. We design commercial solar and battery systems from your interval data and tariff, then install and support them with one accountable team.

What storage adds to commercial solar

Commercial bills often have two big parts: the energy you use and the peak you pull from the grid. Solar attacks the first. A well-sized battery attacks the second – and stretches your solar into the hours you actually trade.

Lower demand chargesDischarge during your busiest half-hours so the network measures a smaller peak.
Solar after sunsetCover opening prep, evening service and night shifts with energy made at midday.
Backup for critical loadsKeep cool rooms, servers, pumps and alarms running in an outage.
Less wasted exportStore surplus instead of exporting it for a low feed-in rate or hitting export limits.
Smarter tariff useCharge and discharge on a schedule set for your tariff.

Businesses that gain most from storage

Storage pays off fastest where loads run outside daylight or peaks drive the bill.

Cold storage & foodRefrigeration runs all night and peaks on hot afternoons. Restaurants & venuesEvening service, cool rooms and kitchens after the sun goes down. DairiesPre-dawn and evening milking on stored solar. Poultry & intensive livestockFans and climate control that never switch off. ManufacturingMachine start-ups and compressors that set expensive demand peaks. Medical & aged careEquipment and climate control that need backup. Supermarkets & retailRefrigeration and long trading hours into the evening. Fleets & EV chargingCharge vehicles overnight from stored solar.

Commercial solar and storage options

Battery size comes from your load profile, not a rule of thumb. These ranges show where most projects land.

Indicative only. The federal discount is tiered by usable capacity; your proposal shows the exact amount and the modelled demand savings.
Usable storage	Typically covers	Typically suits	Discount
15–30kWh	Opening prep, evening close, small backup	Clinics, offices, small retail	Full support on the first 14kWh
30–60kWh	Evening trade and part of the night	Hospitality, cool rooms, workshops	60% support from 14–28kWh
60–100kWh	Demand peaks and overnight loads	Dairies, cold storage, manufacturing	Reduced support above 28kWh

Commercial solar and battery FAQs

Can businesses get the federal battery discount?

Yes. The Cheaper Home Batteries Program covers small-scale battery systems from 5kWh to 100kWh for homes, businesses and community organisations.

How does a battery reduce demand charges?

The battery discharges during your highest-demand periods, lowering the peak the network measures. We model this from your interval data before quoting.

What size commercial battery do I need?

It depends on your after-hours loads and how sharp your demand peaks are. We size storage from your interval data, and because the federal discount is tiered, bigger isn’t always better value.

Can you add a battery to our existing commercial solar?

Usually, yes. We check your inverter and switchboard first; some sites need a hybrid or battery inverter added.

Will a battery keep us running in a blackout?

It can, with a backup-ready design. We agree which circuits stay on – such as refrigeration, IT or security – and size the battery for them.

Do you offer VEU incentives?

Not at this stage. We apply STCs and the federal battery discount where eligible.

How long does a commercial battery last?

Commercial lithium batteries typically carry manufacturer warranties of around 10 years. Regular health checks and firmware updates help them stay at full performance.
