Industrial & Commercial Solar Sydney

Want to reduce your energy costs?

If you are planning to shift to solar in New South Wales, there are still valuable rebates and incentives available to help you save thousands of dollars over your system’s lifespan.

Commercial and industrial clients in NSW can benefit from these programs.

Here's how:

Lower Electricity Costs: Businesses across Australia continue to face high energy bills. Commercial solar power systems help mitigate these costs by generating electricity onsite, reducing reliance on the grid. For those with existing commercial solar panels in Sydney, further savings are achievable through feed-in tariffs (FiTs). If your system generates excess electricity, it’s exported to the grid, and your electricity retailer offers a small credit, typically between 1 to 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh).

Maximising Your Solar Investment: Having already invested in a solar system or commercial solar panels in Sydney, you’ve taken a major step towards reducing operational expenses. Over time, your system will insulate you from rising electricity rates, making it a smart long-term investment.

Government Incentives: In NSW, the main incentive available to commercial solar system owners is the Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). These certificates are awarded based on your system’s expected energy output over its lifetime and can be sold for approximately $40 each. The number of STCs you receive depends on your system size and location within NSW, with most areas in zone three and the North-West in zone two. While the incentives may not be as generous as in the past, STCs can still offer significant savings.

By capitalising on these opportunities, NSW businesses and homeowners alike can continue to see financial benefits from their solar power systems long into the future.

Only authorised commercial solar Sydney retailers like GES Energy can help you take full advantage of New South Wales' solar incentives. By choosing GES Energy, you’ll not only benefit from our expertise in building and designing integrated solar power systems, but you’ll also be well-positioned to access valuable programs like Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and feed-in tariffs (FiTs) after installation.

Our SAA-certified installers are proficient in:

✓ Designing 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 system owners in system health checks at minimal costs.

✓ Monitor all installations and regularly update customers.

How Does Solar Power Work for Commercial Properties?

Your business can’t afford to be without power, which 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.

Industrial Solar Energy Solutions

Reduce your energy bills and lower energy consumption with industrial solar systems that deliver long-term savings. Not only do we specialise in commercial solar projects, but also in industrial solar systems. We will guide you through every step of the process to ensure a seamless transition to solar energy.

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:
