A shopping centre or commercial property pays for common areas: car park lighting and ventilation, escalators, air conditioning in the malls, signage. It also has things energy companies want: large roofs, car parks where drivers stop for an hour, and a grid connection that's expensive to build from scratch. We look at both sides, cutting what the centre spends and finding ways for the site to earn.
What gets in the way for property owners
- Split incentivesTenants pay their own bills, so savings on the roof don't always reach the owner. The structure has to work for both.
- Capital tied upOwners don't always want to fund batteries or chargers themselves. Partner-funded models avoid that.
- Grid connection limitsAdding chargers or a battery needs spare capacity, or a connection designed around it.
- Too many approachesCharging networks, battery funders and solar retailers all want a piece of the site, with different terms.
What fits a centre or commercial property
Host a battery
A funding partner installs and runs a battery on your site, at no upfront cost to you. Depending on the site, you may earn rent.

Charging networks fund and run chargers where drivers stop. You may earn rent or a share of revenue, and drivers stay on site while they charge.
Learn more →Solar on large roofs
Sized to the common-area load, or larger where the power can be used by tenants.

Common questions
Does hosting a battery or chargers cost us anything?
With a partner-funded model, the partner pays for the equipment and installation. You provide the space and the connection. Any rent or revenue share is set out in a written agreement before anything is built.
Who looks after the equipment?
The funding partner or charging network owns and maintains it. We handle the site check, the design and the coordination with the partner.
Can solar on our roof supply our tenants?
Sometimes, with the right metering and agreements. It's more involved than common-area solar, so we model both and tell you which makes sense.
Do you work with portfolios across Australia?
Yes. We're Sydney-based with licensed partners in every state, and we often compare several sites at once.
What makes a site suitable for public chargers?
Somewhere drivers stop for 30 minutes to a few hours, near a main road, with spare grid capacity or room for a new connection. Shopping centres, cafes and restaurants, hotels and car parks are good fits.
