Industrial & Commercial Solar Gold Coast
Looking to cut your energy costs?
Switching to solar on the Gold Coast is a wise choice for businesses aiming to save money, reduce their carbon footprint, and adopt sustainable practices. GES Energy’s commercial solar Gold Coast solutions make it easier to take advantage of the rebates, incentives, and support programs available, turning solar into an investment that delivers long-term financial savings and environmental advantages.
Lower Energy Bills for Gold Coast Businesses
Rising energy costs can put pressure on operational budgets for Gold Coast businesses. Installing solar panels — or a complete commercial solar power system with battery storage — helps achieve greater energy independence by reducing reliance on the grid and lowering energy bills through onsite power generation. Excess energy can be fed back into the grid, potentially earning credits through feed-in tariffs. Over time, these savings build up, making solar a dependable solution for cutting costs.
Government Incentives and Support Programs
Queensland residents and businesses installing solar panels can benefit from various rebates and incentives to reduce upfront costs and maximise savings.
The federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (STC rebate) is a key incentive. Queensland’s sunny climate means higher solar ratings, allowing systems to generate more Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). Larger systems produce more certificates, which can cover up to a third of the installation cost. Solar installers usually claim this rebate directly, so you only pay the discounted price.
Feed-in tariffs provide additional savings. Excess solar energy exported back to the grid earns credits. In South East Queensland, feed-in tariff rates are set by electricity retailers, offering competitive options that range from 8 to 12 cents per kilowatt-hour. Regional Queenslanders receive a fixed rate, currently set at 12.377 cents per kilowatt-hour for 2024-25.
With these programs, Queensland businesses and households can cut installation costs, reduce energy bills, and earn ongoing credits, making solar a financially and environmentally smart choice.
Only authorised solar companies like GES Energy can help you access Gold Coast's solar incentives. We offer a range of industrial and commercial solar solutions to help you lower your power bills and maximise energy savings. Partner with us to make the most of Queensland's sunny climate and government incentives for a smarter, more cost-effective energy future.

How Does Commercial Solar Power Work?
For businesses, maintaining a dependable power supply is of absolute importance. At GES Energy, our commercial solar services focus on helping clients understand how commercial solar systems operate and how they can provide uninterrupted power to meet their needs.
✓ Unlike residential customers, businesses incur additional demand charges based on peak power usage (measured in kW). These charges can make up a large portion of a business’s energy expenses.
✓ Demand charges are calculated based on the highest power drawn during peak usage in a billing cycle, which can significantly increase energy costs.
✓ A well-planned solar system, combined with battery storage, can help reduce these costs. By using stored energy during peak periods, the system eases pressure on the grid and helps lower overall energy bills.
Industrial Solar Energy Solutions
Cut down on energy costs and consumption with industrial solar systems built for long-term value. We specialise in delivering reliable industrial projects and offer support every step of the way to make your transition to solar power straightforward and efficient.
Grid Application
We handle the grid application process for industrial solar systems, managing all technical and regulatory requirements. Our expertise minimises delays and avoids rejections, ensuring a smooth path to accessing the benefits of solar energy.
Grid Connection
Integrating your solar system with the grid requires careful planning and compliance with regulations. We assess feasibility, grid capacity, and costs to ensure a smooth connection. Our team works to optimise energy efficiency and reduce operational expenses through seamless grid integration.
Injection Testing and Commissioning
We offer testing and commissioning services for industrial and commercial solar installations. All secondary protection relays are tested to meet the standards of distribution network service providers (DNSPs).
Secondary Injection Testing
Injection testing is a standard requirement for most electrical distribution networks. It plays a critical role in system commissioning. Our team uses CMC 356 equipment to perform secondary injection testing with precision and reliability.
Power Quality Testing
Power quality testing is vital for many commercial solar energy systems. It ensures the system operates without causing voltage issues on the grid. Using Fluke 435 equipment, we carry out efficient testing to help you connect your solar system to the grid without unnecessary delays.
HV Solutions
We provide high-voltage (HV) photovoltaic solutions for utility-scale consumers, microgrids, and solar farms. High-voltage power transmission improves system efficiency and minimises energy losses.
Our services include designing specialised systems for:
- Microgrids
- Utility-scale Solar Facilities
- Solar Farms
- Own Engineering
- ...and more.
