Industrial & Commercial Solar Adelaide

Want to reduce your energy costs?

Adelaide businesses have a great opportunity to take control of their energy bills with commercial solar systems. GES Energy offers quality commercial solar solutions to help businesses in Adelaide take advantage of this opportunity.

Even though South Australia doesn't offer as many rebates as other states, businesses can still benefit from valuable savings and incentives for solar installations.

Here's how:

Lower Electricity Costs: Businesses across Australia, including Adelaide, are susceptible to high energy costs. Commercial solar power systems enable you to generate electricity onsite, reducing your reliable on the grid while lowering your energy bills at the same time. When your system produces excess energy, you can export it to the grid and receive credits through feed-in tariffs (FiTs). In South Australia, these tariffs range from 1 to 33 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), depending on the electricity retailer.

Maximising Your Solar Investment: Investing in commercial solar panels is a long-term solution for reducing operational expenses. Over time, your solar system will protect you from rising electricity rates, making it a smart investment for Adelaide businesses. Plus, commercial solar panel installations in Adelaide can take advantage of the high solar yield in the region, further maximising your return on investment.

Government Incentives: In Adelaide, businesses can benefit from the Federal Government's Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which provide savings of up to thousands of dollars for larger systems. South Australia is in STC Zone 3, meaning businesses can expect significant savings based on the system size and expected energy output. Additionally, the City of Adelaide offers a Sustainability Incentive Scheme that provides up to $5,000 cashback for solar systems larger than 20 kW.

Partnering with GES Energy means you’ll have access to certified commercial solar Adelaide installers who can design and install renewable energy systems that are eligible for STCs. GES Energy will also ensure your solar system is optimised for performance to help you save on energy costs while reducing your environmental impact.

Our SAA-certified installers are proficient in:

✓ Designing commercial solar systems for projects ranging from 10 kW to 5 MW.

✓ Facilitating grid connection applications and commissioning the systems.

✓ Providing a 10-year warranty for all commercial and industrial projects.

✓ Assisting commercial solar system owners in system health checks at minimal costs.

✓ Monitor all installations of solar systems and regularly update customers.

How Does Solar Power Work for Commercial Properties?

Your business can’t afford to be without power. That is why we educate our clients on how commercial solar systems work and why they'll never be without electricity.

✓ Unlike residential consumers who get billed for the kWh consumption, business customers are required to pay demand charges on a kW basis.

✓ These demand charges can make up a significant part of the energy bill and are generally calculated by reviewing the greatest amount of power you need during demand spikes in a billing cycle.

✓ An expertly designed solar system with battery storage can help reduce demand charges by discharging energy at peak times and allow you to reduce the amount you owe on your energy bill.

Solar System Design

As commercial solar Adelaide specialists, our commercial solar system design service includes a custom feasibility study, site identification and assessment, a solar resource assessment, performance monitoring, and electrical network or battery storage system design. During the design phase, we make sure that your solar panels are optimally placed for maximum efficiency and energy production. Our expert team modifies every system to meet the unique needs of your business, so your entire system delivers long-term savings and performance.
Solar System Installation

GES Energy are accredited and experienced installers of commercial solar panels and entire commercial solar systems. We provide end-to-end grid-connected and off-grid installation and inverter installation with or without battery storage.
Solar System Maintenance

GES Energy offers professional maintenance for commercial solar panels and systems. We ensure optimal performance and maintain the stream of economic value generated by each kilowatt-hour of production as well as minimise the risk of downtime.
Inverter Repair and Warranty Claims

When it comes to inverter repairs and warranty claims, GES Energy is the preferred service partner for many reputable solar power companies. No matter where you purchased your commercial solar power system, GES Energy will help you with your inverter repairs or assist you with your warranty claim.
Battery Storage Systems

GES Energy designs, installs, commissions and maintains battery storage systems for commercial and industrial clients. Our solar battery storage service includes feasibility assessments that will help determine whether battery storage can indeed give our clients energy savings. By storing excess solar energy, solar batteries allow commercial clients to reduce their reliance on the grid, leading to lower electricity bills and a smaller carbon footprint. With the ability to use stored energy during peak demand, businesses can maximise the benefits of their solar systems and enhance long-term sustainability.
Electric Vehicles (EV) Charging Stations

GES Energy installs turn-key EV charging station solutions for homes and offices, car park areas, and so much more. All work is certified and guaranteed with the backing of global brands.

Industrial Solar Energy Solutions

Reduce your energy bills and energy consumption with industrial solar systems designed for lasting savings. At GES Energy, we don’t just specialise in managing commercial solar projects. We are also leaders in large-scale industrial solar installations. Our team expertly designs, installs, and maintains solar systems tailored to the unique demands of industrial applications. We will guide you through every phase of your projec and ensure a seamless transition to solar energy that delivers maximum efficiency and long-term cost reductions.

Grid Application

Our team can reduce the complexity of grid applications and make the process easy for distributors. We ensure all requirements are met, reducing the risk of project delays or rejections and helping you get the most out of your solar panels.

Grid Connection

A suitable connection to the electricity grid can be acquired to evaluate and comply with regulatory requirements. It is important to understand the cost and feasibility of your new renewable energy project, as well as the grid capacity to accommodate new generation. Our experts will also evaluate how connecting to a specific network may impact your energy consumption and energy costs, ensuring your solar system integrates smoothly into the grid.

Injection Testing and Commissioning

We offer comprehensive testing and commissioning services to commercial and industrial solar installers. Secondary protection relays of any type can be tested as per DNSP, distribution network service provider requirements.

Secondary Injection Testing

Injection testing is mandatory for most electrical distribution networks and is essential to getting your system commissioned. We use CMC 356 for secondary injection testing.

Power Quality Testing

Power quality testing, or PQ testing, is required for most commercial installations and helps to assure distribution companies that your solar system is not contributing to voltage problems. Our team utilises Fluke 435 for power quality testing to streamline the complex process of testing so that you can connect your system to the grid fast.

HV Solutions

We design high-voltage (HV) PV solutions for utility-scale consumers, microgrids, and solar farms. One of the main reasons as to why power is transmitted at high voltages is to improve the efficiency of the system.

We design custom-built solutions for the following:
