Commercial batteries for Australian businesses
A battery isn't right for every site, so we model it on your data first. Where it fits, it can lower demand charges, use more of your solar, back up critical loads and even add power to a site that's at its limit.
- Modelled on your data first
- Backup for critical loads
- Can add site capacity without a transformer upgrade

Work out your rough savings, size and payback →See where this fits on a commercial site →Batteries have come down in price and up in capability. For the right business, with high demand charges, evening loads, a capacity-limited connection or equipment that can't lose power, they now stack up. For others, they don't yet, and we'll tell you.
What a battery can do
Cut demand charges
Discharge at your peak times so the meter sees a lower peak.
Use more of your solar
Store excess daytime generation instead of exporting it at a low feed-in rate.
Add site capacity
Supplement the grid when you need more power than your connection allows.
Backup power
Keep critical equipment, refrigeration or production running through an outage.
Extra income
Join demand response or virtual power plant programs where they suit your site.
Funding options
Compare buying outright with a power purchase arrangement.
Who we do this for
Factories and manufacturing
Solar sized to daytime production, batteries for demand and capacity, and the waste fixed first.

Lower common-area costs, and host partner-funded batteries or public chargers at no upfront cost.
Learn more →Strata solar and batteries
Solar and shared batteries that lower the common-area bill, with the numbers the owners need to vote.
Learn more →Medical and dental practices
Clinic hours suit solar, and backup keeps medicine fridges, equipment and computers running in a blackout.
Learn more →Cold storage and food
Refrigeration runs around the clock. Solar used on site, less waste and backup for your stock.
Learn more →Gyms and fitness centres
Open early, close late. Contracts checked first, then solar and a battery for the busy evening.

- High demand chargesA large share of the bill comes from a few peak periods.
- Maxed-out connectionYou need more power but the network wants a costly upgrade.
- Evening or night loadsYour solar exports by day while you buy power at night.
- Outages hurtLost stock, production or trading when the grid goes down.
- Big solar exportsLots of solar going to the grid for a few cents.
Host a solar or battery system at your site
Own a commercial roof, a car park or spare land near a good grid connection? Our funding partners can install and run solar or battery systems on sites like yours, at no upfront cost to you. Depending on the site, you may earn rent for the space and the connection.
- No upfront cost to you
- Any rent is set out in a written agreement before anything is built
- Design, approvals and installation handled through licensed partners
Subject to a site check and the funding partner's approval. Eligible rebates may apply.
Battery first or solar first?
| Solar first | Battery first | |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | You use most power in the day | Demand charges or capacity limits are the main problem |
| Main saving | Less energy bought from the grid | Lower peaks, backup, more capacity |
| Typical payback | Usually shorter | Depends heavily on tariff and site |
| Our usual advice | Solar, then add a battery later | When the capacity or backup case is strong |
Simple, and the numbers come first
- Energy analysisWe start with your bills and 30-minute interval data, so the design fits how your site really uses power.
- Feasibility and designRoof, switchboard and grid checks, then a design that balances cost, output and payback.
- InstallationInstalled by our licensed, accredited electrical partner, using quality, well-supported brands.
- Monitoring and supportEvery system is monitored after install, so faults get caught and fixed early.

Common questions
Is a battery worth it for my business?
It depends on your tariff, demand charges, evening usage and whether you need backup. We model it both ways so you can see the numbers before deciding.
Can a battery replace a grid upgrade?
Sometimes. At AP Bakery a 96 kWh battery and 110 kVA inverter lifted usable capacity from around 128 A to around 290 A without a transformer upgrade.
Are there battery rebates for business?
Eligible rebates may apply for homes and some businesses. Amounts change, so we confirm them in your quote.
