001 Who we work with
Five typical clients.
We design and install commercial systems from 30 kW to 100 kW. Anything over 100 kW shifts to a different rebate framework (LGCs instead of STCs) — we'll tell you which side of the line your system sits on.
Pubs & cafés
We know the load patterns: long lunch trade, kitchen extraction, cellar refrigeration. Sized for daytime self-consumption.
Warehouses & workshops
Large roof areas, three-phase, easy access. Often the highest ROI per dollar in our entire portfolio.
Single-site & chains
Single-site shops, small chains, fitness studios. Multi-site reporting via our monitoring portal.
Body corporate
Common-area systems, sub-metering setups, by-law-compliant approvals.
Sheds & pumps
Sheds, pump stations, cold storage. Ergon-network installs as well as Energex.
Offices & clinics
Daytime base load fits solar perfectly. Branded monitoring dashboard for sustainability reporting.
002 What's different
Three things commercial
changes about the quote.
Residential heuristics don't transfer. Commercial ROI depends on tariff structure as much as system size.
Three-phase always
Most commercial sites need 3-phase string inverters. We design accordingly from the first visit.
Demand-tariff modelling
Cutting peak demand can save more than cutting consumption. We model both.
Three-scenario ROI
Time-of-use, demand and flat-rate tariffs — we run your actual interval data through all three.
CT metering as standard
Energy monitoring built in, so you can verify ROI from week one.
003 Finance
Three ways to own it.
Most clients buy outright and depreciate the asset. Some prefer cash-flow-neutral structures. We work with all three.
Direct purchase
STC rebate applied, depreciate the asset, full ownership. Highest long-run return.
Operating lease / PPA
No upfront cost. Locked-in cents-per-kWh below grid rates. Off-balance-sheet.
Green commercial loan
Through our finance partner. Interest deductible. Ownership at term.
