We specify premium commercial solar panels, high-efficiency inverters, and scalable battery storage solutions to ensure your system delivers reliable output and strong financial returns for decades.
Your solar system is a long-term business asset. We provide live performance monitoring and proactive maintenance to ensure your commercial solar installation operates at peak efficiency year after year.
Turn Your Roof into a Profit-Generating Energy Asset
Ideal for businesses operating standard hours, on-grid systems generate electricity during peak tariff periods. Your commercial solar panels convert sunlight into three-phase power, with excess energy exported to the grid for additional revenue. Expect immediate bill reductions and a lower carbon footprint
Under our PPA model, SPS Energy arranges the commercial solar installation with zero upfront capital. You simply purchase the generated electricity at a lower fixed rate, improving cash flow and price certainty without impacting your balance sheet.
For 24-hour operations or remote locations, hybrid systems combining commercial solar panels with advanced battery storage provide energy independence and reliability. These solutions are ideal for manufacturing, healthcare, and critical infrastructure requiring uninterrupted supply.
We analyse 12 months of electricity data to determine the optimal size and configuration for your commercial solar installation.
Our engineers deliver detailed electrical and structural designs with accurate generation and ROI projections.
We structure capital purchase, lease, or PPA options to protect your cash flow.
We manage council approvals, certifications, testing, and staff handover to deliver a fully compliant commercial solar installation.
Not ready to purchase a solar system outright? A Power Purchase Agreement lets your business enjoy all the energy savings of commercial solar without any capital investment.
Under a PPA, a third-party financier funds and owns the solar system installed on your roof. You simply purchase the electricity it generates at a rate typically 20–30% below your current grid tariff — from day one, with zero upfront cost.
A PPA works best for businesses that:
Commercial solar system costs in Queensland typically range from $15,000–$30,000 for a 30kW system up to $120,000–$250,000+ for a 200kW+ installation. The final cost depends on system size, roof complexity, inverter type, and whether battery storage is included. Most Queensland businesses qualify for STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) that reduce the upfront cost by $3,000–$25,000 or more depending on system size. Contact SPS Energy for a site-specific quote.
The right system size depends on your business's daily energy consumption, peak usage hours, roof space, and grid connection capacity. As a general guide: businesses with monthly energy bills under $2,000 typically suit a 20–50kW system; $2,000–$6,000/month suits 50–150kW; $6,000+/month often requires 150kW–500kW+. SPS Energy conducts a full energy audit and site assessment before recommending a system size — the right fit is critical to maximising your return.
Most Queensland businesses achieve payback on a commercial solar investment within 3 to 5 years. Businesses with high daytime electricity consumption (manufacturing, retail, hospitality) and large roof areas tend to see the fastest returns. After payback, the system continues generating free electricity for 20–25+ years. Our case studies show payback periods ranging from 3.9 to 4.4 years for typical commercial installations.
Yes — SPS Energy offers Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for eligible commercial clients. Under a PPA, a third-party financier owns the solar system and installs it on your roof at zero upfront cost. You purchase the electricity generated at a rate typically 20–30% lower than your current grid tariff — so you save from day one without any capital investment. PPAs work best for businesses with suitable roof space (500m²+) and long-term tenure.
On-site installation of a commercial solar system typically takes 2–5 days depending on system size and roof complexity. The full project timeline — from initial assessment through engineering design, network approvals, physical installation, and grid connection — is generally 6 to 12 weeks. SPS Energy manages every stage including all paperwork with ENERGEX or Ergon Energy and your retailer.
Queensland businesses can access multiple solar incentives: (1) STCs — a federal rebate reducing upfront cost for systems up to 100kW, worth thousands of dollars; (2) LGCs — ongoing revenue for systems over 100kW accredited under the Large-scale RET; (3) Instant asset write-off — your solar system may be eligible for accelerated depreciation under current ATO rules (check with your accountant); (4) Queensland Government business energy grants — periodically available for small and medium businesses. SPS Energy handles all rebate documentation.
On-grid systems connect to the electricity network — you use solar first, export excess, and draw from the grid when needed. It's the most affordable option and suits businesses operating during daylight hours. Hybrid systems add battery storage, allowing you to store excess solar for evening use, eliminate peak demand charges, and have backup power during outages. Off-grid systems operate completely independently from the grid — ideal for remote properties where grid connection is unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
Yes. SPS Energy holds Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation and QLD Electrical Contractor Licence No. 82364. CEC accreditation is mandatory for installing systems eligible for the federal solar rebate (STCs) and ensures all work meets Australian Standards AS/NZS 5033 and AS 4777. Our Technical Director, Jock Howard, has over 30 years of solar industry experience and personally oversees all engineering design.
