Our Services

Tailored Commercial Solar Options — we design, supply, and install systems for all types of commercial properties across South East Queensland.

Rooftop Commercial Solar

Flat or pitched rooftop systems designed for offices, retail centres, schools, and industrial buildings. We maximise available roof space to deliver the highest energy output for your footprint.

  • Custom system design per roof type
  • Tier-1 panels and commercial-grade inverters
  • Grid-connected and hybrid options available

Carport Solar Structures

Solar carports combine covered parking with energy generation — turning underused car parks into productive assets. Ideal for shopping centres, hospitals, councils, and large employers.

  • Dual function: shelter + solar generation
  • Custom structural engineering included
  • EV charging integration available

Ground Mount Systems

For properties with available land, ground-mounted systems offer flexibility in orientation and scale. Suitable for farms, large industrial estates, and rural businesses.

  • No roof constraints — optimise for full sun
  • Large-scale capacity available
  • Suitable for rural and semi-rural properties

Warehouse & Industrial Solar

Large roof areas on warehouses and industrial facilities are ideal for high-capacity solar. We design systems to match your operational load profile and energy usage patterns.

  • High-capacity systems from 30 kW to 1 MW+
  • Designed around your operational load profile
  • Reduce peak demand charges significantly

Commercial Solar Order Process

A transparent, step-by-step process from initial inquiry through to system handover and ongoing monitoring.

01

Initial Consultation & Energy Audit

We review your electricity bills, operational hours, and energy goals to establish the right system size. A site walkthrough is arranged at no cost.

02

System Design & Proposal

Our engineers produce a custom system design with full financial modelling — including expected savings, payback period, and ROI projections. No obligations.

03

Approvals & Permitting

We manage all council approvals, network applications, and grid connection paperwork. You will not be chasing permits — we handle it completely.

04

Professional Installation

Our CEC-accredited installation teams complete the project with minimal disruption to your business operations. All work is inspected and signed off by a licensed electrician.

05

Commissioning & Monitoring Setup

Your system is commissioned, tested, and connected to our monitoring platform. You'll receive clear training on how to track production and savings in real time.

06

Ongoing Support & Maintenance

We provide scheduled maintenance checks, performance reviews, and reactive support throughout the life of your system. Long-term energy partners — not just installers.

Battery & Battery Integration

A commercial solar system paired with battery storage delivers maximum financial benefit. Store solar energy generated during the day and deploy it during peak tariff periods — reducing your demand charges and improving energy independence.

The Finance Case for Commercial Solar

Commercial solar is one of the highest-returning capital investments available to Australian businesses today. With electricity prices continuing to rise, locking in your own generation cost provides long-term certainty in your operating expenses.

4–7 years
Typical payback period for commercial systems
25+ years
Expected operational life of quality solar panels
30–60%
Average reduction in commercial electricity bills

Government Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) reduce upfront costs further. Commercial finance options — including chattel mortgage, operating leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs) — are available to suit your business structure and cash flow requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from business owners considering commercial solar.

Savings depend on your system size, energy usage, and feed-in tariff rates. Most commercial customers see a 30–60% reduction in electricity bills, with full payback typically achieved within 4–7 years.

In most cases, no. Our installation teams are experienced in working around active business operations.

System size is determined by your energy consumption, roof or ground space available, and budget. We conduct a detailed energy audit and site assessment to recommend a correctly sized system.

Yes. The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) and Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) are available depending on system size. We assist with all applicable incentive applications.

Our commercial systems include up to 25-year product and performance warranties on panels, 10-year inverter warranties, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on all installations carried out by Ethical Solar.
