Rooftop, ground-mount and carpark arrays
The mounting follows the site. Roofs that can carry the load take it, and carparks or open ground take the rest.

Commercial and industrial solar
An array sized against your interval data and your tariff, designed, installed and commissioned by the same team, under one contract.
The problem
Most commercial solar is quoted from roof area. That answers how many panels fit, not which of them will ever pay for themselves.
Arrays designed from your interval data and tariff rather than from available roof area. We handle the structural checks, the network application, the installation and the commissioning with our own crews, so the scope does not change hands halfway through.
What the scope covers.
02
Structural checks and network application
The roof is checked structurally before a panel is specified, and the connection application goes to the network before hardware is ordered.
03
Installation and commissioning by in-house crews
The crew that installs the array commissions it, and the shutdown window is agreed in writing first.
04
Sized from interval data and tariff
Your interval data shows when the site draws power. The array is sized to cover that, not to fill the roof.

How it runs, start to finish.
01
Read the load
Your interval data and tariff show when the site draws power and what each kilowatt hour costs at that hour.
02
Size the array
Panels and inverters are sized to the daytime load and the network's export limit, not to the roof area.
03
Clear the network
Structural checks and the connection application are complete before any hardware is ordered.
04
Switch it on
The crew that installed the array commissions it, hands over the documents, and monitoring starts the same day.
Before you ask us.
How do you size a commercial solar system?
From your interval data and your tariff. The array covers what the site uses during the day, within the network's export limit. Roof area only sets the ceiling.
Does commercial solar need network approval?
Larger systems need a connection application to your network, and some are given an export limit. We lodge the application and design to what the network approves.
What if the roof cannot carry an array?
Then a carport or ground-mount frame often can. The structural check comes first and tells you which.
