Your worst 30-minute spike is inflating your bill.
Commercial demand charges are set by a single monthly peak — not your total usage. Solar + battery shaves that peak, lifts self-consumption and can add backup. We’ll model it honestly against your actual bill and tell you if it doesn’t stack up. Indicative only; results vary by site, tariff & system.

Defaults come from published Victoria figures (peak-sun hours, average tariff, feed-in) — the same data as the state chip on this site. Change any of them and watch your range move. The 25-year figures also assume electricity prices rise ~3%/yr and panels degrade ~0.5%/yr — indicative, not guaranteed.

We own the step that quietly stalls commercial projects.
It’s rarely the panels that hold a commercial project up — it’s the DNSP grid-connection application, export limits and network approvals, which can run for months. We prepare, lodge and chase that application for you. If the network caps your export, we design the system around the limit so it still stacks up — surfaced before you commit capital, not discovered after.
Approval timeframes and export limits are set by your network, not by us.A recommendation with nothing to hide behind.
Most installers are contracted to shift one brand and paid to close. Here’s why our advice points at your bottom line, not our stockroom.
Spec’d to your case, not our inventory
We source and install across around 16 solar, inverter and battery brands — so there’s no over-ordered stock to clear and no single manufacturer margin to chase. A cold store and a two-shift factory need different hardware; being brand-agnostic means we fit the kit to your site. If a cheaper or better-suited brand wins, that’s what you’re quoted.
Modelled, not guessed
Cheap quotes guess from a monthly bill total. With your authority we model your actual 30-minute interval (NMI) data — the same meter data that sets your demand charge, and where the real peak-shaving saving hides. It’s the difference between a modelled result and a hopeful one.
Sometimes the answer is buy smaller
We’ll often recommend a smaller battery than you’d expect — one sized to clip your demand peak, not to pad the invoice. An oversized system ties up capital it may never earn back. If your data says a smaller or phased system pays back faster — or that you shouldn’t buy yet — that’s what we’ll tell you.
We attack the fastest-growing line
Across commercial bills, network and demand (capacity) charges are the fastest-growing component — often 40–50% of the total, and the part that rises even in months you use less. Cutting kWh alone barely touches it; shaving your peak does. That’s why we lead with a peak-demand review, not a generic ‘go solar’ pitch. Your bill’s mix depends on your tariff and network.
Installed to standard, with the paperwork
Battery safety (AS/NZS 5139) and grid connection (AS/NZS 4777) done properly — clearances, ventilation, signage and fire separation. You get the compliance documentation your insurer, landlord and WHS auditor will ask for, from SAA-accredited installers.
A warranty someone answers
A 10-year workmanship warranty only counts if someone picks up in year four. As your installer of record we handle the claim and coordinate the manufacturer — you deal with us, not an offshore ticket queue or an installer who’s since folded. Orphaned commercial systems are a real and growing problem.
Tailored for
every sector.
Six sectors, each with a different load shape: hotels and hospitality, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, retail, offices and farms. What changes is where the saving comes from — peak-demand shaving, daytime load offset, or both — which we confirm from your interval data.
Hotels & Hospitality
24/7 energy consumption makes hotels ideal for solar + battery. Cut peak demand charges with battery dispatch — savings are highly site-specific, so we confirm them from your interval data before quoting — power common areas with clean energy and strengthen guest-facing sustainability credentials. Typical system sizes range from 100–500kW; payback depends on your tariff and load profile.
Key Advantages
Peak demand shaving with battery dispatch during high-rate periods. Pool and HVAC loads offset by daytime generation. Visible ESG improvements for corporate booking channels and sustainability audits.
Manufacturing & Processing
On most factory sites a single half-hour sets the whole month’s demand charge — motors, compressors and process heat all spinning up at shift start, often before solar alone can help. We read your interval data to find the exact spike setting your charge, then size a battery to discharge into that morning ramp — sized to the spike, not your average load. Indicative only; results vary by site and tariff.
Key Advantages
Peak-demand shaving targeted at shift-start and process peaks. Solar offsets steady daytime process load. Headroom to add plant or machinery behind the meter without immediately triggering a network upgrade — modelled per site.
Warehouses & Logistics
Large roof areas generate significant solar output — often 200–1,000kW systems. Battery storage manages forklift charging, cold-chain operations and dock scheduling. Typical ROI achieved in under 4 years with minimal operational disruption during installation.
Key Advantages
Massive unshaded roof space maximises generation. Demand management for refrigeration and conveyor loads. Night-shift battery dispatch eliminates peak tariff exposure across multi-shift operations.
Retail & Shopping Centres
Solar offsets lighting, HVAC and refrigeration loads during peak trading hours when electricity is most expensive. Customer-facing sustainability credentials increasingly drive foot traffic and tenant retention in competitive retail markets.
Key Advantages
Generation peaks align with trading-hour demand. EV charging stations attract customers and create ancillary revenue. Reduced common-area energy costs benefit landlords and tenants alike.
Offices & Corporate
Daytime solar generation lines up closely with office operating hours. Combined with LED upgrades and smart HVAC controls, meaningful cuts to daytime energy costs are typical — indicative only, modelled per building. On-site generation and load reduction can also support a stronger NABERS or Green Star rating, which feeds into leasing appeal and asset value.
Key Advantages
Near-perfect demand/generation alignment during business hours. Solar directly lowers your Scope 2 (purchased-electricity) emissions — a measured figure for annual sustainability reporting, not a vague claim. Any rating impact depends on the building’s full energy profile.
Farms & Agriculture
On many farms the grid is the problem, not the fix — remote connections are dear, voltage sags at the end of a long line, and irrigation pumps are big intermittent loads that hammer your demand charge. Sizing solar to run pumping in daylight and storing the rest cuts both the energy bill and your reliance on a fragile supply. Indicative only; results vary by site and tariff.
Key Advantages
Pump scheduling matched to solar availability. Grain drying, dairy cooling and packing-shed loads offset by daytime generation. For genuinely remote sites we’ll be straight about when a hybrid or off-grid setup earns its keep — and when it doesn’t.
Three problems a battery quietly solves.
The savings are only half the story. For a growing site, storage can head off capital costs most quotes never mention.
Electrify without a grid upgrade
Adding an EV fleet or new plant can push you past your approved connection — triggering a DNSP capacity upgrade that costs months and, often, a five- or six-figure network contribution. A battery can absorb the new peak behind the meter, so many sites add chargers or machinery inside their existing connection. We model your headroom first and tell you honestly if an upgrade is genuinely unavoidable.
Indicative only; varies by site and connection.Put off the transformer upgrade
When a site outgrows its supply, the classic fix is a network augmentation or a new transformer — slow, disruptive and capital-heavy. Battery-led peak-shaving can flatten your demand curve enough to defer or shrink that project. We’ll tell you honestly whether storage buys real headroom for your load profile — or only delays the inevitable.
Modelled on your site; results vary.A phased electrification roadmap
You may not electrify the fleet or process heat this year — but sizing the connection and switchboard for it now beats ripping them out later. We can plan today’s solar and storage to leave headroom for the next stage, turning a series of disruptive retrofits into one coordinated path.

Sustainability you can put in the report.
On-site solar is the emissions cut least likely to be challenged in an audit — if you claim it honestly. We’ll help you do exactly that.
Cut Scope 2 you can report
The solar you self-consume directly lowers your Scope 2 (purchased-electricity) emissions under the GHG Protocol market-based method — usually the biggest defensible cut a business can make. Australian grid power runs at roughly 0.6–0.8 kg CO₂ per kWh depending on your state, so every self-consumed kWh counts. We hand you generation and self-consumption figures tied to your real meter data.
A cut you own, not an offset
On-site solar reduces emissions at your site — not by buying credits to cancel them elsewhere. As ACCC greenwashing scrutiny tightens, an on-site asset is the claim least likely to be challenged by an auditor or a customer.
Answer with an asset
More Australian tenders and large-corporate supplier programs now score or gate on emissions credentials — and as mandatory climate reporting phases in, big customers are pushing the question down to their suppliers’ Scope 3. A funded on-site system is concrete evidence you attach to a bid.
And we’ll tell you what not to claim.
Overstating a green claim is the fastest route to an ACCC complaint. We spell out exactly what your system does and doesn’t let you say — understatement you can prove beats a headline you can’t.
