Every commercial solar project GREON quotes starts with a free site assessment, so you get a fixed solar system size and price, not a generic estimate.
- WHAT'S INCLUDED
What Comes With Your Commercial Solar System
Every commercial solar system GREON installs is built from five parts, matched to your site’s daytime load and specified in your fixed-price proposal before installation begins.
Panels
Tier 1 solar panels, rated for continuous outdoor use, sized to your roof and business load. Panel output is set to your actual solar use, matched to your site by solar panels built for Queensland conditions, not a standard solar panel package.
Conversion
An inverter converts solar output into usable power, sized to your site’s full solar capacity across every solar circuit.
Backup
Battery storage extends your solar value into evening and peak-tariff periods, matched to your commercial site’s demand profile.
Monitoring
Remote monitoring tracks solar production in real time, so your commercial site always has solar visibility.
Cover
Solar equipment carries manufacturer warranty, backed by GREON’s ongoing maintenance.
Every part of your solar system, from panels to inverter to battery, is specified against your business before your commercial solar installation date is locked in.
- The Numbers
The Financial Case for Commercial Solar
A commercial solar system pays for itself through two savings streams at once, lower electricity costs and lower energy demand charges, which is why the payback math looks different for a business than for a home.
Lower Bills
Solar cuts your electricity draw during business hours, when rates are highest, and can reduce energy costs by a meaningful share of your total bill depending on your solar system load profile. Commercial solar power also lowers your exposure to rising energy prices year on year.
Demand Charges
Businesses pay for their highest draw of the month, not just total solar and grid energy used. Battery storage smooths that peak, cutting demand charges that solar alone cannot touch.
Payback Range
Most commercial solar systems pay back within four to seven years, faster with a power purchase agreement or finance option that removes the upfront cost. Australia’s instant asset write-off can bring that solar cost down for eligible businesses, and current pricing makes now a strong window to lock in solar savings.
Steady Value
Once installed, your solar array keeps reducing electricity bills for the life of the solar panels, well beyond the warranty period, while costs keep rising elsewhere for every other commercial energy user without one.
The financial case for a commercial solar business decision comes down to one number: what your system saves each month once it is running, not a generic industry average.
- QLD and Commercial Rebates
Rebates and Incentives for Queensland Businesses
Commercial rebates and federal incentives can bring down the upfront cost of your solar system, and the rules change on set dates, so timing your purchase matters.
Instant Asset Write-off
Australia’s instant asset write-off lets eligible businesses claim the full solar cost in the same tax year, rather than depreciating it over several years, for equipment installed and ready for use by 30 June 2026.
QLD businesses installing solar now can stack these incentives before thresholds and rates step down, GREON checks your eligibility for every rebate as part of your free site assessment.
Solar Rebates
The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme provides Solar Technology Certificates for eligible solar installs under the renewable energy target, current STCs are calculated on your size and location, and the threshold for commercial eligibility is expanding from 1 October 2026.
Battery Rebate
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program includes eligible small businesses, covering battery capacity from 5kWh to 100kWh at a meaningful discount off the sticker price.
- COMMERCIAL QUESTIONS
Common Questions From Businesses
Straightforward answers to the questions Queensland businesses ask most before committing to a commercial solar and battery system.
What size commercial solar system does my business need?
Commercial solar system size depends on your daytime energy use, roof space, and demand charges, not a fixed package. A small warehouse typically needs 50kW to 100kW of solar energy capacity, while a manufacturing site running multiple shifts often needs more solar power. GREON calculates your exact system size from your actual energy bills during a free site assessment, so your commercial solar power system matches your real business load, not an industry average, and every option GREON offers is one of several energy solutions built around Australia’s variable climate conditions.
How much does a commercial solar and battery system cost?
Cost depends on system size, panel quality, and whether battery storage is included in your solar installation. A larger commercial solar system costs more upfront, but delivers stronger energy savings because business electricity rates and demand charges run higher than household ones. GREON provides a fixed quote after assessing your energy use, so you know your solar system cost before you commit, with finance options, including a power purchase agreement, available to reduce the cash needed upfront across most of Australia.
Will a commercial solar installation disrupt my business?
Most commercial solar installations are scheduled around trading hours, so disruption to your business stays minimal. GREON’s project managers coordinate installation timing with your operations team, and a typical project for a mid-size site runs a few days. Power and energy supply stay connected throughout, aside from short, scheduled switchovers while your solar panels and inverter are commissioned by qualified solar installers, with monitoring set up so your business sees results from day one.
What's the difference between commercial and residential solar systems?
A commercial solar system is engineered for higher daytime energy use and three-phase power, unlike a smaller residential solar setup built around evening consumption. Commercial solar panels, inverters, and monitoring are sized for business-scale energy demand rather than a single household, and battery capacity is matched to demand charges instead of overnight backup. Financing, warranty terms, and project timelines differ too, reflecting the scale of energy involved and the range of solar energy solutions available to businesses.
Can my business finance a commercial solar and battery system?
Yes, most businesses use finance options rather than paying the full cost upfront. A power purchase agreement, an equipment loan, or Australia’s instant asset write-off can all reduce the cash your business puts down for solar and battery storage. GREON works with finance partners experienced in commercial solar projects, so your business can start reducing energy costs without a large deposit, while retaining full ownership of the system, its future savings, and the energy independence it delivers.
What rebates apply to commercial solar power in QLD?
QLD businesses can access Solar Technology Certificates under the renewable energy target, plus the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program for eligible battery storage. Rebate value depends on your system size and battery capacity, and current rates step down over time, so earlier installation locks in more value. GREON checks every rebate your business qualifies for as part of your quote.
