The Federal Government contributes a substantial incentive for commercial solar installations. These incentives are designed to encourage the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Federal incentives are managed under the Small-scale & Large-scale Renewable Energy Schemes
No. The Solar Homes Package, offering rebates on Solar Panels, Solar Batteries, Interest Free loans and Solar for Renters excludes commercial premises.
Generally, yes. However the amount of energy you are able to export to the grid may be limited by your electricity distributor and the tariff you receive is likely to be low. The best ROI is achieved when you consume the majority of the energy you generate.
Small-scale technology certificates (STCs) are the method by which the Federal Government subsidies the installation of solar energy systems 100 kW and smaller. STCs provide an upfront discount to the cost of installing a solar energy system. The value of an STC fluctuates over time, however the price you are quoted for your solar energy system will already have the current STC value deducted from the price you pay.
Large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) are the method by which the Federal Government subsidies the installation of solar energy systems over 100 kW. Unlike STCs which provide an upfront discount on the cost of installing a solar energy system, LGCs provide a rebate over time based on the actual generation of the system.
Essential Solar will only need a copy of your electricity bill to initiate this process. Following a site analysis we shall present you with a preliminary design and solar business case for discussion.

Yes. In most cases commercial solar PV can be installed using one of our various financing or leasing options. In most cases this provides a solar solution that can be cash flow positive from day one.
We regularly install Solar PV for many businesses that operate from leased premises. Contact us at Essential Solar to find how we can work with the landlord and tenant to find the best solution.
Using historical irradiation data, we can project the generation capacity of your proposed solar installation. We then use this data along with your consumption data to calculate your financial returns. This method of estimation is very reliable and fully transparent.
